• Order Allocation: Monitor and ensure that Planners allocate and schedule production orders in strict compliance with the Oracle system's priorities and allocations, while ensuring FIFO practices are maintained.
• Weekly Accountability: Review weekly schedules submitted by planners, identifying planned starts, completions, and any scheduling misses or constraints.
• Strategic Reporting & Operational Metrics
• WIP & Inventory Management: Regularly maintain and update Planned Completion Dates. Work to minimize leftover lots, actively follow up on Staging, Hold, and Work-in-Progress (WIP) lots, and drive expedites with clear business justifications.
• Metric Validation: Review and validate key performance metrics—including On-Time Delivery (OTD) performance, Line Performance Against Schedule (LIPAS), and Cycle Time Attainment—prior to communicating results to global AML counterparts.
• Forecasting & Annual Planning: Prepare comprehensive annual and semi-annual planning numbers, complete with detailed analyses of factory manufacturing capabilities.
• Master Data Updates: Manage and submit finalized team requests for Flow/Route changes, Lead Time adjustments, Yield updates, and Bill of Materials (BOM) changes to the EDM Supporting Group.
• Global Coordination & Logistics
• Cross-Functional Communication: Coordinate directly with global AML business units, local Operations, Import/Export Logistics, Quality (QME), and Engineering to resolve delivery requirements and transaction issues.
• Shipment Documentation: Supervise the preparation and accuracy of documentation required to ship finalized orders.
• Inventory Support: Actively support Inventory Control operations and audits whenever business needs arise.
