Responsibility:

• Oversee and validate weekly customer commitment plans to ensure 100% On-Time Delivery (OTD) according to global service-level agreements.
• Monitor and maintain optimal Days of Inventory (DOI) levels within regional distribution hubs; ensure fulfillment cycles are met to prevent stock-outs or excess capital tie-up.
• Drive the integrated MPS for both internal manufacturing and raw material procurement to synchronize capacity with demand volatility.
• Manage the workflow and inventory accuracy between internal production and Outside Service Processing (OSP) partners, ensuring physical stock aligns perfectly with ERP data (Oracle-based).
• Lead the delivery and pulling strategies for raw components from overseas subsidiaries; ensure "Right Part, Right Quantity, Right Time" to prevent supply chain bottlenecks.
• Perform rigorous weekly reviews of aging WIP (Work in Progress) and Finished Goods (FG). Lead mitigation strategies for End-of-Life (EOL) parts to minimize financial exposure.
• Act as the technical point of contact for demand inquiries. Analyze "Forecast vs. Actual" variances and proactively alert stakeholders (Sales/Customer) regarding demand abnormalities.
• Oversee Return-to-Vendor (RTV) and RMA activities; ensure all secondary processing (finishing/treatment) inventory is accurately recorded and stored.
• Lead, coach, and mentor a team of PMC Executives and Production Controllers to ensure daily operational excellence and professional growth.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, Business Operations, or a related discipline.
• Minimum of 5–7 years in Production Planning / Material Control (PMC), preferably within the high-precision mechanical components or hardware manufacturing industry.
• Proven experience in a supervisory or Assistant Managerial role, managing a diverse team in a fast-paced environment.
• Advanced knowledge of ERP systems (preference for Oracle) and Master Production Scheduling (MPS) logic. High proficiency in MS Excel (Data analytics, VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables).
• Familiarity with OSP (Outside Service Processing), inventory aging controls, and secondary industrial processes (e.g., surface treatments or finishing).
• Strong command of English; ability to manage expectations with international internal/external stakeholders.
• Highly analytical, proactive in problem-solving, and able to work under tight deadlines with high accuracy.
