A bout the P osition

The Supply Planner supports the end-to-end supply planning process by translating demand signals into production and distribution plans that help ensure product availability while balancing inventory levels, capacity utilization , and service targets. The role monitors key constraints and risks, identifies gaps and improvement opportunities, and coordinates day-to-day alignment across Demand Planning, Manufacturing, Materials Planning, Procurement, Deployment, and Logistics to keep supply plans accurate , executable, and on track .

In bri ef, you will be responsible for :

Supply Planning & Execution

- Develop and maintain short-, mid-, and long-term supply plans by translating demand signals into feasible network supply plans ensuring updated demand, capacity, and inventory inputs are considered.

- Monitor service level performance (CFR) and inventory health through daily follow-up on plant performance and network inventory levels, driving actions and escalating availability or waste risks as needed.

Inventory Management

- Monitor network inventory KPIs (Days of Inventory, slow/excess inventory, and obsolescence risk) and support actions that protect service targets by flagging stockout and excess inventory risks and coordinating follow-up with relevant teams.

- Support long-range inventory planning for peak demand periods and seasonal operating constraints by maintaining monthly capacity inputs, tracking plant shift/crewing updates, and escalating gaps that could impact inventory health.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

- Partner with Demand Planning to review forecast updates, understand demand variability, and assess supply implications.

- Collaborate with MRP and Procurement to secure raw materials, monitor constraints, and mitigate supply risks.

- Align with Manufacturing to translate demand into production plans that factor in capacity and scheduling constraints.

- Coordinate with Deployment and Logistics to enable on-time distribution and balanced inventory placement across the network.





Risk Management & Problem Solving

- Identify and flag potential supply risks, document impacts, and support mitigation planning with relevant partners.

- Support short-term recovery plans during supply disruptions by updating supply plans, tracking actions, and escalating critical gaps.

- Monitor capacity, material, and transportation constraints, maintaining exception lists and coordinating follow-up to reduce service and inventory risk.

Planning Governance & IBP

- Participate in S&OE; / IBP cycles by preparing supply inputs, updating scenarios, and supporting supply insights for cross-functional discussions.

- Prepare data and standard analysis for Supply Review and leadership updates, ensuring accuracy and timely delivery.

- Maintain planning parameters and master data, completing regular checks and coordinating corrections with system owners as needed.

Continuous Improvement

- Identify and document opportunities to improve supply planning processes, tools, and KPI tracking , sharing findings with the team.

- Support process improvement initiatives (Lean / Six Sigma / automation) by collecting data, mapping current processes, and tracking actions and results.

- Apply standard analytics and reporting to support data-driven decision making within the planning organization.
