Job summary

Capgemini is seeking a Senior Planning professional in Chennai to develop and execute integrated production, capacity, and supply plans across short and long horizons. You will coordinate with DRP, MRP, factory operations, procurement, and finance to ensure crossfunctional alignment and optimal network performance.

You will lead MPS and RCCP activities, publish daily schedules, monitor risks, and drive continuous improvement in planning governance. On-site role with global impact.

Responsibilities

• Prepare draft MPS considering demand & distribution change requests, exceptions, lines balancing and 3P capacity
• Finalise and publish the MPS by validating constraints, resolving escalations, and aligning with cross functional teams.
• Analyse insights from draft MPS and adjust the plan accordingly with inputs from crossfunctional meetings (materials, factory, PIPO)
• Conduct weekly ITP plant reviews to refresh the MPS, validate shortterm risks, and confirm nearterm adjustments.
• Prepare and analyse RCCP against longterm planning horizons and identify constraints, and model alternative scenarios (prebuild, 3P, alternates) and mitigations
• Resolve longterm bottlenecks through Integrated Reconciliation with supply, demand, finance, and commercial teams, and circulate final RCCP outputs.
• Develop and run optimisation scenarios (cost/service tradeoffs) and model network improvements for decisionmaking.
• Prepare and publish daily production schedules, adjusting for material constraints, sequencing requirements, and operational priorities.
• Manage ERP execution and sequencing horizon exceptions by analysing feasibility, modelling supply options, performing transactional updates, and documenting resolutions.
• Run daily direction setting huddles, review compliance, log exceptions, and track performance to plan.
• Monitor inventory projections and manage stock risks exceeding inventory target level
• Conduct rootcause analysis and develop contingency plans to maintain inventory targets. Communicate risks and mitigation actions to crossfunctional stakeholders, ensuring alignment on decisions and timelines.

Job description

Role Overview

• Develops and executes integrated production, capacity, and supply plans across the short, medium, and longterm horizons to ensure stable and efficient factory operations.
• Leads supply risk identification and mitigation by analysing inventory signals, resolving constraints, and developing contingency plans with key stakeholders.
• Balances demand, capacity, materials, and asset constraints to generate feasible MPS plans that meet service, cost, and inventory objectives.
• Manages longterm capacity planning through RCCP analysis, scenario modelling, and bottleneck resolution to support future demand requirements.
• Converts weekly MPS into daily production schedules, addressing material risks, sequencing constraints, and operational exceptions for execution.
• Coordinates extensively with DRP, MRP, factory operations, procurement, commercial, and finance teams to ensure crossfunctional alignment on planning decisions.
• Optimises the supply network through modelling, scenario analysis, and evaluation of costtoserve vs service outcomes.
• Ensures planning governance by reviewing KPIs, validating constraints, and maintaining alignment across all planning horizons and stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

Master Production Scheduling (MPS)

• Prepare draft MPS considering demand & distribution change requests, exceptions, lines balancing and 3P capacity
• Finalise and publish the MPS by validating constraints, resolving escalations, and aligning with cross functional teams.
• Analyse insights from draft MPS and adjust the plan accordingly with inputs from crossfunctional meetings (materials, factory, PIPO)
• Conduct weekly ITP plant reviews to refresh the MPS, validate shortterm risks, and confirm nearterm adjustments.

LongTerm Capacity Planning (RCCP)

• Prepare and analyse RCCP against longterm planning horizons and identify constraints, and model alternative scenarios (prebuild, 3P, alternates) and mitigations
• Resolve longterm bottlenecks through Integrated Reconciliation with supply, demand, finance, and commercial teams, and circulate final RCCP outputs.

Supply Network Optimisation

• Develop and run optimisation scenarios (cost/service tradeoffs) and model network improvements for decisionmaking.

Production Scheduling & Exception Handling

• Prepare and publish daily production schedules, adjusting for material constraints, sequencing requirements, and operational priorities.
• Manage ERP execution and sequencing horizon exceptions by analysing feasibility, modelling supply options, performing transactional updates, and documenting resolutions.
• Run daily direction setting huddles, review compliance, log exceptions, and track performance to plan.

Supply Risk Identification & Mitigation

• Monitor inventory projections and manage stock risks exceeding inventory target level
• Conduct rootcause analysis and develop contingency plans to maintain inventory targets. Communicate risks and mitigation actions to crossfunctional stakeholders, ensuring alignment on decisions and timelines.
