About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Maintain, tune, and adjust statistical forecasts using demand models, segmentation logic, and historical cleansing techniques
- Incorporate customer signals, POS data, distributor inputs, and long-lead-time constraints into demand plans
- Manage demand exceptions such as spikes, pushouts, pull-ins, overrides, and customer commitments
- Monitor forecast accuracy, bias, stability, and demand variability; perform root-cause analysis and continuous improvement
- Facilitate demand reviews with commercial, customer service, finance, and SIOP teams
- Build and run what-if scenarios for demand shifts, new product introductions, and customer allocation strategies
- Convert demand plans into feasible, constraint-aware supply plans
- Identify material shortages, capacity risks, expedite requirements, supplier delays, late purchase orders, and BOM changes; propose mitigation actions
- Optimize material availability, replenishment strategies, supplier allocations, safety stock, reorder points, and inventory policies
- Analyze and reduce excess, slow-moving, and obsolete inventory
- Translate demand, supply, and capacity inputs into stable, executable master production schedules
- Sequence production based on capacity, constraints, changeover rules, and scheduling agreements
- Track plan adherence and adjust schedules for real-time shop-floor changes and disruptions
- Build detailed finite production schedules at work-center, machine, and resource levels
- Optimize sequencing to reduce changeovers, minimize bottlenecks, and improve throughput
- Manage capacity loading, labor constraints, shift patterns, and maintenance windows
- Collaborate with procurement, manufacturing, engineering, logistics, quality, operations, and supply chain teams
- Support SIOP, NPI ramp-ups, engineering changes, production readiness, and continuous improvement initiatives
- Maintain planning dashboards and ensure data quality and integrity
