Responsibilities

Drive short-term production alignment and execution by leading the regional S&OP processes, aligning cross-functional stakeholders to validate plan feasibility within the fixed horizon, prioritizing orders, and determining trade-offs across demand, capacity, and material constraints to ensure executable plans and defined recovery actions
Maintain a stable and executable site supply plan by aligning demand, inventory targets, and production capacity across a rolling 0–3 months horizon, integrating cross-functional inputs, and ensuring production schedules remain stable, feasible, and responsive to demand variability while supporting service and inventory performance
Make data-driven planning decisions within the 0–3 months horizon by evaluating data, constraints, and variability, determining appropriate planning actions, and adjusting supply plans to maintain feasible execution while managing service, inventory, and capacity trade-offs
Balance supply, inventory, and service trade-offs to minimize cost and risk exposure by analyzing demand trends, inventory levels, and production constraints, determining planning actions that reduce excess, aging, and obsolescence while protecting service levels and working capital performance
Translate supply plans into executable production schedules by balancing short-term supply and demand within a 5–10 days horizon, validating feasibility against capacity and material constraints, and converting plans into work orders in ERP (JD Edwards EnterpriseOne (E1)) to support manufacturing execution
Communicate supply availability and constraints to the organization by providing clear, timely updates on order fulfillment status for external Sales Orders (SO) and internal Order Tickets (OT), including risks, root causes, and expected recovery timelines to enable proactive decision-making
