• Develop and track key supply chain KPIs - including forecast accuracy, OTD, inventory turns, and fill rate - to enable transparent, data-driven decision-making across functions.
• Implement continuous improvement initiatives to reduce planning cycle waste, accelerate response time, and increase S&OP process maturity.
• Collaborate with Sales and Marketing to incorporate new product launches, promotions, and market changes into demand planning cycles in a timely and structured manner.
• Analyze supply risk scenarios and develop mitigation strategies to protect customer commitments during demand or supply disruptions.
