Responsibility level
responsible for leading production planning execution and operational alignment to ensure on‐time delivery, optimized inventory levels, and effective capacity utilization in a high‐volume, high‐mix manufacturing environment.
this role serves as a technical and operational reference within the planning organization and provides leadership continuity in the absence of the mps or planning manager.
drives planning excellence through lean supply chain principles, data‐driven decision‐making, and cross‐functional collaboration.
ensures compliance with health, safety, and environmental regulations.
principal duties
* lead development and execution of production schedules based on demand variability, material constraints, and capacity analysis.
* perform advanced demand and capacity analysis to support realistic supply plans and service commitments.
* monitor and drive on‐time delivery (crd vs promise vs shipment date) performance and lead recovery strategies when required.
* own past due reduction plans and coordinate cross‐functional corrective actions with operations, procurement, and commercial teams.
* act as escalation point for complex planning scenarios, material constraints, and capacity conflicts.
* provide operational decision‐making support in the absence of the mps or planning manager.
* lead engineering change (ecn/eco) impact analysis, including risk mitigation for excess and obsolete materials.
* oversee planning readiness for npi launches and production ramp‐ups.
* ensure sap s/4hana master data integrity (mrp parameters, lead times, safety stock, capacity settings).
* utilize sap s/4hana planning, purchasing, and capacity modules to optimize supply execution.
* drive inventory optimization strategies for subassembly and finished goods aligned with service targets.
* lead root cause analysis for service failures and implement structured corrective action plans.
* guide and influence team members in daily planning decisions without necessarily holding formal supervisory authority.
* support and drive lean supply chain initiatives including kanban optimization, pull systems, and continuous flow improvements.
* develop scenario modeling and performance analysis using advanced excel tools.
* utilize power bi to structure data models and support performance visibility and decision‐making.
* align planning priorities with commercial, product management, and operational strategies.
* participate and lead kaizen and continuous improvement initiatives.
* promote data integrity, process discipline, and planning standardization.
* ensure compliance with ehs policies and corporate guidelines.
requirements education
* bachelor's degree in industrial engineering, supply chain, business administration, or related field.
experience
* minimum 5–7 years of experience in production planning within high-volume, high-mix manufacturing environments (electronics industry preferred).
* sap s/4hana (planning, purchasing, and capacity modules)
* advanced demand and capacity planning
* npi leadership and ramp‐up planning
* lean supply chain and kanban systems
* cross-functional stakeholder management and escalation handling
technical skills
* advanced mrp and capacity planning expertise
* strong inventory optimization knowledge
* advanced excel (complex modeling, scenario analysis, data structuring)
* power bi user (data modeling and table design) – preferred
* strong analytical and problem‐solving capabilities
language
* advanced english proficiency (written and verbal) required to communicate effectively with customers, commercial teams, and senior leadership.
behavioral competencies
* strong ownership and accountability mindset
* ability to operate autonomously in complex environments
* informal leadership capability
* strong decision‐making under pressure
