Responsibilities

You will work closely with the client’s Factory Planning and S&OE teams, with a HyLogic engagement lead supporting you throughout.

• Turn demand and capacity plans into feasible daily and weekly finite schedules, balancing priorities, changeovers, campaigns and WIP.
• Spot bottlenecks in equipment, labour and materials, and re-plan quickly around downtime, quality holds and shortages.
• Run scenarios for demand changes or disruptions and quantify the impact on output.
• Confirm material readiness for the scheduled horizon and drive shortage resolution to prevent line stoppages.
• Own plant planning master data in SAP and Maestro (routings, run rates, capacities, calendars, changeover matrices) and its validation.
• Be the plant’s first point of contact for SAP and Maestro: support and train users, and translate plant needs into functional requirements.
• Execute functional, UAT and regression testing, and give go-live readiness input from a factory view.
• Track schedule adherence and plan stability, run root-cause analysis on misses, and help build ways of working that scale to other plants.
