Supply Chain Analyst

Supply Planner As a Supply Planner, you'll help ensure we have the right product, in the right place, at the right timewhile balancing service, inventory, capacity, and cost. This is an entry-level role where you'll learn how demand, production, procurement, logistics, and inventory decisions connect across the end-to-end supply chain. You'll work alongside planners, manufacturing, procurement, customer service, and finance to support daily execution and weekly/monthly planning cycles. This role is ideal for someone who is analytical, detail-oriented, curious, and excited to build a career in supply chain planning. Key Responsibilities 1) Supply Planning & Replenishment Build and maintain short- and mid-term supply plans for assigned SKUs/locations using ERP tools Generate planned orders (purchase/manufacturing/transfer) and monitor open orders to ensure on-time supply. Execute replenishment processes aligned to inventory policies (safety stock, reorder points, lot sizes) Identify and elevate constraints (materials, capacity, supplier delays) and propose options. 2) Exception Management (Daily/Weekly) Review planning exceptions (e.g., shortages, reschedules, late supply, demand spikes). Prioritize issues using business impact (service risk, revenue exposure, production downtime). Partner with cross-functional teams to drive resolution (expedites, substitutions, reallocations). 3) Planning Cadence Support (S&OP / SIOP Inputs) Provide inputs to weekly/monthly planning meetings: supply risks, capacity gaps, inventory outlook. Maintain action logs and follow-ups for supply recovery plans and constraint mitigation. 4) Inventory Health & Performance Reporting Monitor KPIs such as service level/OTIF, inventory turns, backorders, excess & obsolete (E&O), plan adherence. Create and refresh dashboards/reports (Excel/Power BI) that highlight root causes and trends. 5) Master Data & Continuous Improvement Maintain planning master data: lead times, MOQ/lot size, safety stock, sourcing parameters, calendars. Support continuous improvement projects: parameter tuning, standard work documentation, report automation.
