How you will be measured?

The specific measures listed below may be subject to change and are not intended to be an all-inclusive list

• On-Time Delivery: measures the ability of the role to create and execute production schedules that align with predetermined timelines. It quantifies the percentage of production orders or schedules that are completed and fulfilled within the specified timeframes. A high On-Time Delivery percentage indicates effective planning, coordination, and timely execution of production activities.
• Schedule Attainment: evaluates how closely the actual production output aligns with the planned production schedule. It is calculated by comparing the planned production quantities with the actual quantities produced over a specific time period. This metric provides insight into the Planner's ability to translate demand forecasts into achievable production plans and the extent to which those plans are realized in practice.
• Sales Order Backorder: measures the volume of customer orders that cannot be fulfilled immediately due to insufficient inventory levels or production capacity. This metric highlights the extent to which the Junior Production Planner has successfully anticipated and addressed demand fluctuations. A lower Sales Order Backorder indicates effective planning and resource allocation, resulting in reduced customer dissatisfaction and potential revenue loss.
• Inventory levels: measure inventory value and days on hand to target based on Plan for Every Part analysis. This metric requires the Planner to monitor WIP aging & FG levels and coordinate with other department to assure adherence to inventory targets.
