Inventory & Stock Management

• Ensure inventory availability while minimizing excess stock and obsolescence.

• Identify and mitigate risks such as stockouts, overstocking, and supply constraints.

• Collaborate with deployment planners, production planners, procurement, and PU Supply Planning Delivery leads in the market to ensure seamless product flow.

Collaboration & Partner Management

• Work closely with the Supply Planning Delivery lead, MPS planners, Procurement and plant teams to align production replenishment strategies with business objectives (e.g. Make to order, make to stock)

• Support the Sales & Operations Execution (S&OE) and Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) processes by working closely with S&OE Planning Delivery Leads, and the S&OP Manager, providing insights and recommendations to resolve supply constraints and deliver improved availability balanced against cost and inventory

• Systems & Reporting

• Demonstrate our end-to-end planning tool to implement Rough Cut Capacity Planning for medium to long term, using Scenario functionality to look at “what if” options to improve service and availability balanced against cost and inventory

• Track and analyze key performance indicators (important metrics) including plan and schedule adherence, capacity utilization, availability, service levels, availability, stock turn rates, and forecast consumption.

• Drive process improvements to enhance planning accuracy and supply chain responsiveness.

• Support digital transformation initiatives to enhance production agility and to enhance availability and optimal inventory.
