Zusammenfassung

Sanmina Corporation in Houston is seeking a Materials Planner to plan, schedule and monitor buy-part supply for medium-voltage switchgear and cabinets. You will run MRP/DRP in Oracle EBS, coordinate with Purchasing, Production and Engineering to ensure on-time material availability, and plan overseas parts to avoid air freight.

Three years of planning experience in manufacturing, strong Excel skills, and familiarity with Kinaxis RapidResponse are preferred.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Business or related field, or equivalent experience
• Minimum of 3 years materials planning experience in a manufacturing environment
• Hands-on MRP / DRP planning experience in Oracle EBS required; Kinaxis RapidResponse a plus
• Experience planning overseas and long-lead suppliers; electrical / electromechanical assemblies preferred
• Advanced Excel (lookups, pivot tables); strong analytical skills
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and to manage changing priorities
• APICS CPIM a plus (not required)

Aufgaben

• Run MRP / DRP in Oracle for changed demand and end-item supply requirements per Sanmina planning procedures; review planned orders and exception messages and release requisitions to Purchasing.
• Analyze demand requirements vs. supply commitments; maintain the clear-to-build view in Kinaxis RapidResponse for switchgear and low-voltage cabinets and publish a weekly shortage and risk list.
• Perform what-if analyses for demand changes before commitments are made to customers, together with the Demand & Master Scheduler.
• Work with Purchasing to place POs within lead time and to expedite, pull in or push out open POs; plan long-lead and overseas parts far enough ahead to avoid air freight.
• Maintain item planning data in Oracle: lead times, order modifiers, Fixed Days Supply by ABC class, supply type (lot-traced parts issued to jobs), and planner / buyer codes.
• Plan interplant demand from other Sanmina plants and vendor-managed inventory (VMI) items; review VMI min-max levels with Purchasing.
• Keep safety stock at zero unless approved per Sanmina policy; review excess and obsolete exposure on ECO changes and demand drops.
• Approve cycle count adjustments for planned items and work with Warehouse on inventory accuracy.
• Review the plan weekly with the Demand & Master Scheduler to understand changes, capacity loads and material risks.
• Support new-part introduction: confirm BOM, item set-up and first-article timing with Engineering and Doc Control before release to production.
• Other job duties as needed.
