Product Changes & New Launches

• Coordinate the planning impact of product, packaging, formulation and reference changes, ensuring that all affected references are identified and properly managed.
• Manage transitions between old and new materials/references, defining cut-off points and required dates while minimizing obsolete inventory.
• Coordinate planning activities related to new product launches, ensuring production is scheduled according to launch timelines and expected demand.
• Maintain visibility of relevant company changes across Marketing, Export, Laboratory, Production and other functions, identifying interactions between changes and coordinating their implementation.
• Ensure that relevant master data, product references and planning parameters are correctly maintained in the ERP system.

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Participate in the S&OP / SOP process, providing accurate information on supply, production capacity and potential constraints.
• Coordinate with Production, Procurement, Commercial, Marketing, Laboratory, Logistics and other relevant teams to ensure alignment between demand, supply and production plans.
• Ensure effective communication and follow-up across teams on planning priorities, changes and potential supply constraints.

Systems & Data Management

• Maintain and update relevant master data and planning parameters in the ERP system.
• Identify and correct system errors or inconsistencies that could lead to incorrect planning or purchasing decisions.
• Ensure data accuracy and consistency across planning processes.
• Review and approve relevant production and product documentation, including Artworks, PDFs and HRs, when required.
