- Support component transitions for reformulations, redesigns, new product introductions, and item discontinuations by aligning material requirements, inventory plans, and production schedules.
- Maintain planning-system setup, parameters, and details that support accurate material plans, executable schedules, inventory performance, customer service, and operational metrics.
- Participate in daily production communication meetings, communicate material and schedule constraints, and support timely issue resolution.
- Analyze supplier performance, inventory trends, schedule performance, and planning outcomes to improve service, reduce waste, optimize inventory turns, increase productivity, and improve planning and scheduling processes.
