• Calculate needed raw materials and semi-finished goods.
• Verify stock positions and identify procurement shortfalls.
• Prepare and release daily production orders, material vouchers, etc., for production and warehouse teams.
• Monitor daily planning and production, collaborating with management on disruptions and corrective actions.
• Coordinate with maintenance, engineering, and product development regarding maintenance, repairs, and trial runs.
• Implement and adapt planning changes, discussing alternatives with superiors and sales teams.
• Ensure proper use of planning software and collaborate on required system enhancements.
