Analyze historical sales, customer orders, trends, seasonality, promotions, events, and customer purchasing behavior. Apply statistical forecasting models and adjust forecasts based on validated commercial insights. Cross-Functional Collaboration with Commercial Teams

Key Account Managers, Marketing, and Commercial Leadership. Challenge forecast increases or reductions that lack supporting data, customer commitment, SKU detail, timing, or defined probability.

Develop short-, medium-, and long-term supply plans based on the demand forecast, customer orders, available and in-transit inventory, open purchase orders, lead times, and supply constraints. Convert the consensus demand plan into supply requirements by SKU, source, location, quantity, and required delivery date. Analyze inventory coverage, safety stock, backorders, critical materials, excess inventory, slow-moving items, and obsolescence risks.
