Working Shift:

5 pm to 2 am IST.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop planning system strategies to improve signals across the supply chain.
• Monitor and adjust parameters in the planning system.
• Use common processes, tools, and information systems.
• Analyze and interpret Key Performance Indicators to identify areas for improvement and action plans.
• Execute the daily operational planning process within a specified functional area.
• Identify potential supply chain failures as part of the planning process and mitigate associated risks.
• Work closely with stakeholders—internal and/or external—to develop short-term tactical improvements.
• Use the planning system to drive consistent planning signals across the supply chain.
• Participate in functional process improvement teams.
• Coordinate with internal or external supplier bases and stakeholders across various functions.
• Process and monitor purchase orders until the delivery of goods.
• Work towards meeting the supply plan.
• Monitor and adjust planned and released procurement signals and expedite as necessary.
• Perform metrics analysis and reporting, leveraging experience in Xelus, GOMS, and aftermarket planning.

• Materials Planning System Utilization - Uses the materials planning system to manage supply and demand plans, taking long-term corrective action on exception messages and alerts based on root cause analysis; occasionally refers to ad-hoc tools such as Excel, Access, TOAD, OMS, etc., for problem-solving while leveraging the materials planning system as the primary tool in day-to-day operations.
• Part Change Control Management - Evaluates and implements engineering change requests (obsolescence, supersessions, new part release, etc.) to meet customer delivery requirements while minimizing excess and obsolete inventory.
• Plan for Every Part (PFEP) - Uses PFEP in planning, designing, and managing systems and processes within a facility to ensure delivery of the right part at the right time in the right quantity to the right place, ensuring smooth operations; applies PFEP principles across the end-to-end supply chain with particular attention to master data management, materials planning parameters, engineered material flows, transport management, and warehouse management.
• Master Supply Scheduling - Establishes and maintains a valid Master Production Schedule for a family of products, meeting customer expectations and requirements while maximizing operational efficiency; ensures procurement scheduling, production scheduling, and replenishment planning align with manufacturing and assembly assets for conversion.
• Material Planning - Uses advanced tools (e.g., Advanced Planning Command Centre, Business Intelligence (BI) Dashboards, etc.) to make decisions related to parts availability, inventory optimization, and root cause analysis.
• Materials KPI Management - Operates with an understanding of historical outputs compared to organizational expectations to determine improvement steps; assesses gaps in supply chain performance against target deliverables; interprets KPIs to understand end-customer impact and strategically balances trade-offs to influence one KPI while minimizing the impact on others.

• Communicates effectively - Developing and delivering multi-mode communications that convey a clear understanding of the unique needs of different audiences.
• Customer focus - Building strong customer relationships and delivering customer-centric solutions.
• Drives results - Consistently achieving results, even under tough circumstances.
• Global perspective - Taking a broad view when approaching issues, using a global lens.
• Manages complexity - Making sense of complex, high-quantity, and sometimes contradictory information to effectively solve problems.
• Optimizes work processes - Knowing the most effective and efficient processes to get things done, with a focus on continuous improvement.
• Values differences - Recognizing the value that different perspectives and cultures bring to an organization.

• Co-ordination with internal or external supplier base and stakeholders across various functions.
• Processing and monitoring orders against suppliers.
• Work towards meeting the supply plan.
• Monitor and adjust the planned and release procurement signals and expedite as necessary.
• Metrics analysis & reporting, experience in Xelus, GOMS and aftermarket planning.
• Working Shift - 5 pm to 2 am IST.
• Supply chain exp, preferably procure to pay, plan to build, p2p, material planning, global suppliers, internal stakeholders
