Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the consolidated demand plan incorporating customer orders, backlog, forecasts, commercial inputs, and historical demand; facilitate the demand review process and establish a consensus demand outlook; monitor forecast accuracy, bias, and backlog trends.
• Translate demand into a time-phased supply plan considering inventory, production capacity, material availability, supplier constraints, and lead times; identify demand/supply imbalances and recommend alternatives involving inventory, capacity, production timing, or customer priorities.
• Own and facilitate the monthly Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process, including Demand Review, Supply Review, Pre-S&OP, and Executive S&OP; prepare scenarios, risks, and decisions for leadership review; ensure S&OP decisions are translated into the operating plan and MPS.
• Develop and maintain the Master Production Schedule (MPS) by product, quantity, and time period; establish planning horizons, time fences, and change-control practices; manage MPS changes based on customer priorities, material constraints, capacity changes, and business decisions.
• Partner with Order Management and Sales to assess supply feasibility, support realistic customer delivery commitments, and establish order prioritization and allocation logic when demand exceeds available supply; escalate significant customer, revenue, or supply trade-offs to leadership.
• Ensure MRP requirements remain aligned with the approved MPS; establish planning policies governing the interaction between MPS, MRP, inventory, and material planning; partner with Buyer/Planners to resolve material constraints, MRP exceptions, and shortages.
• Establish inventory planning strategies, safety-stock policies, and target inventory levels consistent with service, lead-time, and working-capital objectives; monitor projected inventory, excess and obsolete exposure, and inventory turns.
• Establish and maintain planning KPIs (forecast accuracy/bias, MPS attainment, backlog, inventory performance, material availability, planning stability); improve planning processes, ERP/MRP system utilization, and master-data quality; identify root causes of recurring planning and execution gaps.
• Contributes to team effort by accomplishing related results as needed.
