End-to-End Supply Chain Planning

  • Support the design and execution of an integrated Forecast-to-Supply planning process and its interfaces to Purchase-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash, Product Lifecycle Management, and Master Data Management.
  • Contribute to the operational SIOP (Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning) process by coordinating cross-functional stakeholders from Sales, Finance, Product Management, Logistics, and Procurement.
  • Collaborate closely with operations, materials management, and other business functions to ensure aligned planning decisions and supply chain performance.
  • Identify opportunities for process optimization and support the implementation of best-practice planning standards across the organization.

  • Experience with SAP, KetteQ, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, AS400, or comparable planning and ERP platforms is highly desirable.
  • Practical experience in ERP and MRP implementation projects within international, multi-site warehouse or distribution networks.
  • Strong knowledge of product and material lifecycle management processes.
  • Excellent analytical and conceptual thinking skills, with the ability to translate complex data into actionable recommendations.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
