Additional Information

In addition to the intercompany planning responsibilities and vendor-managed inventory (Supplier Vis) planning responsibilities of the Materials Planner, this position will carry more complex planning responsibilities, including:

• Planning for international suppliers – This will require an understanding of more complex logistics strategies and customs issues, more complex min/max planning, more challenging communications issues, and more-frequent manual intervention to assure the Eaton plants are supported with parts.
• Make/buy part planning – This adds substantial complexity to planning activities because of the need to react to internal “make” part capacity and execution issues. It will require close communication with the Eaton plants and the ability to exercise “business judgment” to resolve complex issues regarding inventory management.
• Position requires a strong sense of urgency in order to respond in a timely fashion to critical customer and plant requests. This may include early morning, late evening, and night or weekend availability to conduct meetings and/or conference calls with international locations.
