• Implement dashboards, planning funnels, and reporting tools to enhance planner productivity and decision-making
• Transition planning processes from manual and siloed workflows to integrated, data-driven systems
• Define, monitor, and govern enterprise SIOP KPIs including forecast accuracy, capacity utilization, inventory optimization, OTIF delivery, and risk exposure
• Conduct regular performance reviews to identify improvement opportunities and drive accountability across functions
• Develop and execute a multi-year SIOP maturity roadmap, including capability assessments and continuous improvement initiatives
