About The Position

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever. As a Supply Chain Planner at Micron Technology, Inc., you will be responsible for orchestrating the supply chain to common objectives for the products assigned to you. Much of your time will be spent proactively handling supply fill rate (to demand and inventory) on your products through various analytics of our ERP tool and sophisticated planning systems. Based on your own findings or un-planned events, you will collaborate with internal and external partners across the globe and own the value chain to the objectives required on your product line. You must have proficient skills related to interpreting data and developing conclusions to sophisticated problems. This will make you successful on planning responsibilities. You must also have strong interpersonal skills and leadership abilities as these are vital in resolving many of the problems you find to meet the defined objectives. You will use and develop Tableau reports, and examine our Supply Plan Optimization (SPO) tool to troubleshoot supply/demand mismatches. Additionally, you will deploy Science of Supply Chain techniques to ensure inventory, customer service, and organizational objectives are balanced. This balance accounts for the varied conditions of the semiconductor business. You will also be encouraged to develop an understanding of the supply chain you plan for and other related processes. Examples of these areas are demand management, S&OP, silicon planning, inventory management, factory loading, manufacturing sites, logistics, fulfillment, and customer requirements. The knowledge you develop here will assist you in solving many problems and will enable your career progression.
