• Act as Key User for SAP (PP/MM modules) and Kinaxis Rapid Response, supporting configuration, troubleshooting, and user training.
• Lead process improvement initiatives, automation projects, and digital planning transformation.
• Review aging and odd-hand inventory, ensure timely rectification, and recommend disposition for unusable stocks.
• Scheduling Priorities: Decide which production orders to prioritize based on demand, capacity, and delivery commitments.
• Inventory Release: Approve production order releases based on material availability and lead times.
• Disruption Management: Adjust schedules in response to machine breakdowns, quality issues, or supply delays.
• Demand vs. Supply Trade-offs: Balance customer priorities when demand exceeds capacity, including partial fulfillment or rescheduling.
• System Data Integrity: Validate and approve changes to master data (e.g., lead times, BOM updates) impacting planning accuracy.
