you want to build or evolve a planning function with real impact on production stability.
What is your Day to Day Mission:Lead the design, implementation, and ownership of end-to-end Supply and Production Planning processes
Transform inventory data into actionable insights, preventing shortages, excesses, and frozen capital
Define, maintain, and optimize planning parameters to ensure accurate, business-aligned MRP results
Analyze planning outputs and drive business decisions based on real risks and priorities
Align plans across Procurement and Production, ensuring feasibility and cross-functional coordination
Drive continuous improvements and manage exceptions to maintain stable, predictable operations
What you bring to the team:
3+ years of hands-on experience in Supply, Production, and Inventory Planning using ERP systems with MRP
Strong understanding of end-to-end supply chain processes within a manufacturing environment
Proven experience in launching, running, and improving MRP processes, including analysis of planning results
Solid knowledge of MRP mechanics and the ability to manage planning exceptions and ad-hoc situations

Demonstrated ability to build and own planning processes or functions, including forming effective teams
