I have got a summer internship frm a mid-sized manufacturing co. It has just turned around. I had applied for an internship in finance, they have asked me to submit some proposals for the internship project which will help the company...I am looking to do Investment Banking & Banking in finance in my 2nd yr. So needed help as to what kind of project i should design which will help me as well as them...i have thot of "hybrid financial instruments to manage financing costs"...but wanted more ideas...
 
It has just turned around

I'd need more data from you regarding the company, scope of work, their strategies that led to turn around.

I can help you out only after knowing the specifics.
 
The company manufactures a/c components & Refrigeration products primarily for industrial/commercial use. It was loss making primarily due to poor management. Production used to be low & due to poor management of inventory the production used to get stalled on many occaisons. Also the cost of financing was high(lates 90's).

The company was taken over by the current owner in 1999. After that the production was increased with better management of inventory. The loans were also re-structured. The company was profitable within a year of the new management taking over.

If u need more info plz let me know.
 
The company may also need funds to expand...so capital structuring & raising may also be an option...
 
OKay.. I know that you are applying as a intern fr finance.

Basically what you have to do is find out their turn around strategies, polish it, sharpen it, re-package it with your innovation .. like you said, "hybrid financial instruments to manage financing costs"

Secondly you might want to see their previous years working capital and balance sheet and find out a way to cut costs.

If you feel the company isnt implementing the six sigma or inventory management principles at its peak, then point that out and slap the figures to make your point.

Assume that capital raising is an option for now or in the near future and include that in your report.

Let me know if you need any other help.
