  • Support manufacturing scheduling and production sequencing decisions based on material availability and supply constraints.
  • Coordinate resolution activities for non-conforming, quarantined, or obsolete inventory.

Planning Excellence & Continuous Improvement

  • Maintain planning master data within ERP systems, including lead times, lot sizes, reorder parameters, safety stock settings, and sourcing rules.
  • Support Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) by providing supply assessments, scenario modeling, inventory projections, and risk analysis.
