【Job Overview】
The Material Planning Specialist operates as a subject matter expert in material requirements planning, purchase order execution, and inventory optimization within a GMP-regulated manufacturing environment. This role is responsible for ensuring uninterrupted material flow to production lines through proactive supplier delivery tracking, strategic inventory control, and cross-functional coordination with Procurement, QA/QC, Warehouse, and Production teams. The individual executes tasks independently, upholds rigorous compliance standards, and drives continuous process improvements across material management workflows.

．MRP Execution & PO Management: Run Material Requirements Planning (MRP) to generate, issue, and manage the full lifecycle of Purchase Orders (POs), while continuously reviewing and fine-tuning planning parameters (safety stock, lead times).
．Inbound Tracking & Delivery Assurance: Monitor transit status across all open orders, coordinate dock-to-stock timelines with warehouse personnel, proactively mitigate shipment delays, and manage Return to Vendor (RTV) workflows for non-conforming goods.
．Inventory Control & Strategic Material Monitoring: Manage optimal inventory levels for raw materials and packaging, proactively tracking long-lead, single-source, and critical items to prevent stockouts while leading Slow-Moving and Obsolete (SLOB) reviews and expiry risk mitigation.
．Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with QA/QC to expedite quarantined material releases, align with Production on consumption schedules, and interface with Procurement to resolve persistent supplier performance bottlenecks.
．Reporting, Analytics & Continuous Improvement: Consolidate and evaluate material control reports (e.g., inventory turns, supplier on-time delivery, stockout risks), performing root-cause analysis to implement sustainable process and service enhancements.
