• Participate in cross‑functional continuous improvement initiatives (Kaizen, Lean, or Six Sigma) focused on planning process efficiency, lead time compression, and inventory reduction.
• Generate regular planning performance reports covering MPS adherence, MRP execution rates, lead time trends, and capacity utilization, providing actionable insights to the Planning Manager.
