In this role, you will own the plant demand-to-delivery execution loop. You will convert customer demand and releases into a credible production schedule, control daily build execution, optimize WIP and finished goods, protect shipment commitments, and lead the plant S&OE cadence. Under P3 Integrated Supply Chain, you will create one aligned view of demand, capacity, materials, inventory, risks, and recovery priorities.

Who are you?

- Customer Demand Expert: Manage forecasts, releases, orders, lead times, requirements, scorecards, and volatility; maintain accurate data and challenge exceptions before delivery is affected.

- Scheduling Leader: Build executable schedules balancing customer priorities, capacity, changeovers, materials, labor, inventory, and flow; control changes and expose tradeoffs.

- Production Control Operator: Release and monitor orders, track build versus schedule, expose constraints, coordinate recovery, and align ERP with shop-floor execution.

- Customer Delivery Owner: Control backlog, shipment attainment, OTD/OTIF, scorecards, and recovery commitments; escalate risks early and communicate clearly with customers.

- S&OE Integrator: Lead daily and weekly reviews connecting demand, supply, production, inventory, logistics, and customer actions with clear owners and due dates.

Who will you set to win, and how will you do that?

- Production: Provide a stable, prioritized, and executable schedule with clear constraints and recovery logic.

- Supply Planning: Translate the schedule into time-phased material requirements and shortage priorities.

- Plant Leadership: Provide one fact-based view of delivery, backlog, attainment, inventory, and execution risk.

What’s going to be your legacy?

- Demand Connected to Execution: A reliable process from customer signal through production schedule, build, shipment, and scorecard.

- Stable Production Scheduling: Lower schedule volatility, stronger adherence, and faster recovery when constraints occur.

- Improved Customer Delivery: Higher OTD/OTIF, fewer surprises, and accountable recovery for missed commitments.

- Healthy WIP and Finished Goods: Inventory targets aligned to demand, service, flow, and working-capital expectations.
