Planning and supply chain analytics

• Build and maintain models for demand, supply, inventory, capacity, and lead-time analysis. Use statistical and machine learning methods (for example, forecasting, anomaly detection, and scenario analysis) to improve forecast accuracy, service levels, and working capital.
• Analyze supply, demand, cost, and inventory data across sites to identify risks, constraints, and improvement opportunities, and recommend actions to planners and managers.
• Support S&OP and planning cycles with data-driven insight, including supply-demand gaps, supplier and partner performance, and what-if scenarios.

Operations and fab analytics

• Analyze manufacturing and fab performance, including cycle time, yield, WIP, throughput, and capacity, to troubleshoot issues and predict supply outcomes.
• Provide internal customers with clear, current information on capacity, supply status, and lead times of semiconductor fab operations.
• Support operations and supply chain projects, including planning tool, MES, and other supply chain initiatives, contributing requirements, testing, and process documentation.

AI-enabled process improvement

• Identify and implement automation and agentic AI opportunities within planning, supply chain, and operations workflows, such as exception triage, automated reporting, and data-quality checks. Use approved AI tools, including generative AI, to reduce manual effort.
• Program management from design, development, execution, and continual process improvement. Document current and future-state processes, define the KPIs that measure results, and track the business value delivered.
• Monitor model and tool performance (accuracy, drift, adoption) and refine as needed, keeping a human in the loop for key decisions.
• Extend AI-enabled planning and operations workflows onto Snowflake AI, building governed data products, AI-assisted analytics, and automated reporting that draw on Oracle ERP, planning, and MES data.

Data and collaboration

• Improve data integrity and quality across internal supply chain nodes, partnering with data owners and IT on definitions, governance, and integration from Oracle ERP, planning systems, and MES.
• Build dashboards and reports that give functional teams self-service insight.
• Present findings and recommendations to cross-functional teams, and coach colleagues on using new analytical and AI tools.
