The Material Planner oversees the end-to-end requirement planning, supplier call-offs, and inventory optimization for all commercial feed packaging materials across feed mill bagging lines and toll-manufacturing facilities. This role translates finished feed production forecasts and master schedules into precise packaging procurement plans—safeguarding continuous feed packing and bagging operations while minimizing working capital, storage congestion, and design obsolescence.

Key responsibilities

• Break down Master Production Schedules (MPS) into weekly and monthly time-phased packaging requirement plans for all bagging lines

• Issue release schedules to accredited packaging vendors; monitor PO delivery commitments and expedite orders to prevent plant downtime

• Establish and dynamically adjust safety stock levels and reorder triggers based on seasonality, feed sales volume, and supplier lead times

• Identify obsolete, phased-out, or slow-moving sack designs early; coordinate with Sales and Operations to burn old packaging stock prior to redesign rollouts

• Manage artwork, branding revisions, and BAI label updates to burn existing bag stocks smoothly with zero write-offs

• Track vendor lead-time reliability, batch production cycles, and MOQ constraints to avoid line starve

• Coordinate with warehouses for First-In, First-Out (FIFO) consumption to prevent packaging degradation

• Ensure all ordered sacks strictly adhere to BAI registration standards, GMP, and ISO quality specifications

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Agribusiness, Economics, Accountancy, or related quantitative fields

• Fresh graduates are welcome to apply; relevant internship (OJT) or 0–2 years experience in materials planning, MRP, or manufacturing operations is an advantage

• Strong analytical thinking, high numerical accuracy, proactive supplier coordination, and a firm grasp of supply-demand balancing

• Understanding of WPP feed sacks (25kg, 50kg, mash, pellet, crumble), barrier liners, valve bags, and automated packing rolls

• Exposure or adaptability to learn ERP systems (SAP MM/PP, Oracle NetSuite) for Bill of Materials (BOM) breakdown, purchase requisitions, and PO tracking

• Strong proficiency in MS Excel (XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, SUMIFS, and dynamic inventory burn-down models)
