The network supply planner ensures continuous and efficient supply of finished goods (FG) products to customers while minimizing costs and improving efficiency throughout the network. The role is responsible for creating an end-to-end supply plan each month, for the medium to long term horizon, and manages key risks and opportunities associated with demand variation, capacity constraints, and material constraints.

Essential Position Responsibilities - This is a salary exempt position.

Analyst:Acquire medium- or long-term demand forecasts for all FG inventory-consuming events and translate those forecasts into a network supply plan by collaborating with cross-functional partners to ensure the network supply plan is managed according to constraints and targets that align with the business strategy. Translate FG requirements into an RCCP that considers current and future manufacturing constraints and seeks to maximize manufacturing efficiency while minimizing working capital costs.

This should be a result of a strong understanding of line/site capacities, planned down times and demonstrated performance of the different assets. Create a mid- to long-term view of raw materials, packaging, components and work in progress (WIP) to support supply plans. For contract manufacturing, create an FG net requirement and purchasing plan based on timing and location. Review and maintain critical network planning parameters — such as resource allocations and safety stock settings, replenishment quantity, and product life cycle management — considering constraints and input, such as lead time and order cycle time.

Using scenario planning and risk/opportunity management, monitor and track customer service levels and leverage production and inventory to ensure uninterrupted delivery to customers while minimizing working capital costs. Utilize load leveling to optimize the supply plan (production and inventory) within the midterm and long-term time horizons while accounting for decisions made within S&OP. This could involve making decisions to balance across lines and / or across sites.

Support delivery of all network supply metrics. Identify potential risks and prepare scenarios to address and follow up on all supply-related issues to full resolution.

Systems Expert.Use and maintain current planning systems to create an optimized network supply and capacity plan using established processes. Oversee maintenance system related planning parameters to deliver an achievable network supply plan. Familiarity with the standard network planning system features, like scenario/what-if analysis. Drive enhancement requirements through COE group and future design needs.

Internal Collaborator.Working with production schedulers, continually assessing operational network planning assumptions in conjunction with purchasing, planning, manufacturing operations and logistics/warehousing including safety stocks, lead times, order quantities, campaign or production strategy, batch yields and cycle times. As part of S&OP, work with supply chain and business leadership to discuss the potential risks and opportunities associated with changes to the supply operating or network model.

Develop monthly S&OP input (medium- or long-term network supply plan and working capital position) by working with a cross-functional S&OP team to evaluate and transparently communicate multiple options while also making recommendations where appropriate.

Communicator/Reporter.Report on capacity utilization, working capital position (inventory levels and slow-moving and obsolete stock) production constraints, raw material availability and actual consideration of supply chain costs when building the plan. Measure, analyze…
