Who are you?

Inbound Planning Expert

Translate demand into executable supplier requirements using MRP, governed ERP parameters, lead times, MOQs, safety stock, coverage, and supplier schedules without uncontrolled offline workarounds.

Material Availability Owner

Maintain fact-based shortage and critical-material risk visibility; identify constraints early, define containment and recovery, assign owners and due dates, and escalate before production or delivery is affected.

Inventory and Working-Capital Operator

Balance service, risk, and cash; set and challenge raw-material targets, optimize safety stock and order policies, reduce excess and obsolete inventory, and avoid reductions that create supply exposure.

Supplier Execution Partner

Establish a clear cadence for capacity, commitments, ASN discipline, OTD/OTIF, corrective actions, and recovery across external and intercompany suppliers.

Data-Driven Problem Solver

Use MRP exceptions, inventory coverage, supplier performance, schedule adherence, and premium freight signals to identify root causes and drive permanent countermeasures.

Production and Customer Planning

Provide a credible material plan, clear shortage visibility, and recovery decisions aligned to the production schedule and customer priorities.

Procurement and Supplier Development

Provide accurate supplier requirements, performance evidence, capacity risks, and structured escalation needed to improve supplier execution.

Transportation and Customs

Align pickup schedules, carrier capacity, routes, documentation, and clearance priorities to protect inbound material flow.

Finance and Plant Leadership

Deliver transparent inventory, risk, and recovery information that supports working-capital and operational decisions.

Suppliers

Provide stable schedules, clear expectations, timely escalation, and disciplined follow-through.

Reliable Material Availability

A plant where shortages are identified early, recovery is owned, and production is protected through disciplined planning rather than recurring firefighting.

MRP as the Operating Standard

A sustained process where planning parameters are governed, MRP runs on cadence, exceptions are closed daily, and system outputs drive action.

Healthy Raw-Material Inventory

Lower excess and obsolescence while maintaining the coverage required to support production and customer service.

Accountable Supplier Performance

A visible supplier-management model with OTD/OTIF, risk, actions, and escalation connected to business impact.

P3 Certification Readiness

Clear evidence of planning routines, standards, KPI reviews, corrective actions, trained backups, and sustained execution.

Supply Planning and MRP

Hands-on experience with supplier scheduling, MRP, parameter governance, exception management, shortages, and recovery planning in a manufacturing environment.

Inventory Optimization

Proven ability to manage coverage, safety stock, MOQ, lot size, lead time, excess, obsolescence, and working-capital tradeoffs.

Supplier Performance

Experience managing commitments, capacity, OTD/OTIF, corrective actions, and escalation across external and intercompany suppliers.

Cross-Functional Execution

Demonstrated ability to align Production, Procurement, Logistics, Customs, Finance, and Customer Planning around one material plan.

Continuous Improvement

Experience using root cause analysis, standard work, visual management, and KPI routines to improve planning reliability.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in supply chain, operations, engineering, business, or a related field.
  • Strong working knowledge of ERP/MRP, Excel, and planning or BI tools.
  • APICS CPIM/CSCP, Lean, or Six Sigma certification is preferred.
