About the Role
The Supply Chain Network Planner is a leading role in an integrated, intelligent, and agile supply chain organization, focusing on the full SIOP horizon including execution over 0‑36 months. The planner is responsible for demand‑supply balancing for their value stream and provides insights on demand at risk for the portfolio. They set and maintain the guardrails for generating the consensus supply plan, considering constraints, allocation, and prioritization rules across the horizon, and they manage critical mid‑term exceptions. The role involves horizontal liaison across the entire network rather than detailed execution. In this function, the planner oversees capacity versus demand across a 0‑36 month horizon, flags exceptions, and drives solutions to close gaps while ensuring production schedule adherence and on‑time, in‑full delivery. They lead a team of Network Schedulers and MPS planners, collaborate with buyers, material planners, order managers, operations, warehousing, and procurement, and manage replenishment strategy in line with inventory policy. Regular parameter audits are conducted, and the consensus supply plan is created to balance finished‑goods inventory and capacity. Performance metrics are reviewed, gaps are identified, and improvement actions are executed to enhance cash, cost, and customer‑service results. • Lead a team of Network Schedulers and MPS planners for the 0‑3 month horizon. • Manage capacity versus demand across a 0‑36 month horizon, flag exceptions and drive solutions. • Collaborate with buyers, material planners, order managers, operations, warehousing, and procurement to resolve capacity gaps. • Develop and maintain the consensus supply plan, balancing finished‑goods inventory and production capacity. • Ensure production schedule adherence and meet on‑time, in‑full delivery targets. • Conduct regular parameter audits and manage replenishment strategy per inventory policy. • Review supply and inventory performance metrics, identify gaps and implement improvement actions. • Drive value‑stream improvements in cash, cost and customer service through scenario planning. • Prioritize order allocation during supply constraints in coordination with the Execution Scheduler. • Provide supply‑vs‑demand and inventory insights to divisional SIOP meetings.
