Responsibilities
Turn demand into reality: Build and maintain realistic, capacity-aligned production schedules that consistently meet customer demand and protect commitments
Optimize flow end-to-end: Align RM, WIP, and FG strategies across Materials, Operations, and Customer Service to reduce shortages, excess, and fire-fighting
Stabilize execution inside the time fence: Proactively manage schedule changes, secure approvals, and minimize disruption from downtime, material gaps, or urgent demand shifts
Improve schedule attainment: Drive accountability with Logistics and Operations, using clear metrics and data to raise attainment and delivery reliability
Strengthen data and master planning quality: Perform rigorous master data checks (BOMs, routings, work centers) to support PFEP and prevent planning errors before they hit the floor
Unblock constraints and bottlenecks: Analyze capacity, kitting, Kanban, and routings to identify issues and lead practical improvements that increase throughput
Embed safety and quality into planning: Champion HSE compliance and training, and partner with Quality to quickly disposition non-conforming material without risking delivery
Be a trusted cross-functional partner: Communicate clearly, support continuous improvement projects, and stay flexible—owning outcomes that help the business hit its goal
Clear, adaptive communication: Translate complex planning data into messages that resonate with different audiences—operators, leaders, materials, engineering, and customers—so decisions are understood and acted on
Strong customer-first mindset: Anchor planning and trade-off decisions in customer impact (delivery, reliability, ATP), not just internal efficiency
Results orientation under pressure: Stay focused on outcomes when demand, capacity, or materials don’t line up—prioritizing, recalibrating, and still delivering
Ownership and accountability: Hold yourself and cross-functional partners to commitments on schedules, changes, and KPIs; close the loop when gaps appear
Ability to manage complexity: Make sense of large volumes of sometimes conflicting data (demand, capacity, inventory, engineering changes) and turn it into clear plans and actions
Fluency in the materials planning system: Use the system as your primary tool to balance supply and demand, resolve exception messages through root-cause analysis, and drive long-term corrective actions—using Excel or ad-hoc tools only as support
Disciplined PFEP and master data management: Apply PFEP principles end-to-end, ensuring BOMs, planning parameters, material flows, and warehouse processes are aligned to prevent instability
Strong capacity and supply scheduling skills: Convert MPS and demand plans into RCCP and detailed capacity plans, identify constraints early, and negotiate smart options (overtime, shifts, headcount) when demand exceeds capacity
KPI-driven decision making: Interpret materials and supply chain KPIs to understand customer impact, assess performance gaps, and balance trade-offs without optimizing one metric at the expense of others
Inclusive, collaborative mindset: Value different perspectives and cultures, using diverse input to improve problem-solving, decision quality, and team trust
