Field(s) of activity for the internship

You can choose between the following topics:

1) Topic 1:
Visualisation of all QMS and ISMS procedures
This topic will allow you to familiarize with the concept of process and its description.

In particular, the available QMS/ISMS procedures in the Directorate shall be explained in terms of flow charts where:

The start and end condition of a process are defined,
All involved players are contributing to the process,
The intermediate steps of the process from start to end, with all possible branches.

The resulting flow chart will explain WHO is doing WHAT and WHEN within each addressed process. Some flow charts are already present, and can be used as reference. For the format of the flow chart reference can be made to available international standards.
A second visualization concerns the context of the process: this representation will be done with a Turtle chart.

The resulting chart will explain the major drivers of the process:
with WHAT, with WHOM, HOW, HOW MUCH. Some turtle charts are already present, and can be used as reference.

2) Topic 2:
Quality of collected records

For each kind of record, the intern shall develop criteria to measure the quality of record contents and implement formulas or scripts to quantify such quality.

Moreover recommendations shall be defined on how to use the results of these estimates, for example at level of key performance indicators and key effectiveness indicators.

3) Topic 3:
Migration of key indicators to PowerBi

This topic allows you to handle the indicators identified for the results of an implemented process (KPI) and for the effectiveness of an executed process (KEI).

The existing scripts in OPS-Q Sharepoint shall be migrated to PowerBi, by replicating the same formulas and real-time queries of the database.

The user of this statistics may be offered a minimum of choice about the time span of records to select.

Dashboard shall be prepared by grouping the migrated indicators as needed. Links to such dashboard shall be implemented in Sharepoint.

Some indicators are already migrated to PowerBi, and can be used as reference for the remaining part of the migration.
