Job Description:
Job Purpose/Overview
The Supply Planner translates the agreed demand plan into a feasible and executable supply plan that ensures product availability while balancing manufacturing capacity, inventory, service and cost. The role manages supply across multiple planning horizons — the rolling three-month supply plan, the rolling one-month production plan and detailed weekly production requirements — ensuring alignment between market demand and manufacturing capability. In doing so, the Supply Planner serves as the key link between the demand the business wants to fulfil and the supply the organization is capable of delivering.
Job Responsibilities
A. Demand-to-Supply Planning
Receive the agreed demand / consensus forecast from Demand Planning and translate it into supply and production requirements by SKU, plant and relevant supply location.
Convert unconstrained demand into a realistic constrained supply plan, considering manufacturing capability, inventory, material availability and other supply-chain constraints.
Assess changes in demand and determine their impact on production, capacity and inventory.
B. Rolling Supply & Production Planning
Develop and maintain the rolling three-month supply plan based on the latest approved demand.
Translate the medium-term plan into a detailed rolling one-month production requirement.
Convert the monthly plan into weekly production requirements / schedules in coordination with manufacturing teams.
C. Capacity & Constraint Management
Evaluate demand against available manufacturing capability and proactively identify supply constraints.
Consider line capacity and demonstrated production rates, OEE and utilization assumptions, available shifts and operating hours, planned and unplanned maintenance, changeovers and sequencing, minimum runs / batch sizes, labour availability, quality restrictions, yield and process losses, material availability, shutdowns and external manufacturing limitations.
