• Develop and rolling update the weekly production plan at the regional / plant level
• Optimize regional supply positions to ensure supply chain efficiency for a ~16-week horizon
• Run ‘what if’ scenarios to maximize total margin; analyze scenarios with levers such as demand,
capacity, inventory and manufacturing costs; propose solutions to regional leadership (this step
only done manually)
• Mitigate warehouse and production capacity constraints within the horizon by balancing
production lines & escalate where needed
• Maintain master data pertinent to Master Production Planning (e.g., regional- / site-level supply
constraints and production constraints)
• Prepare material for and lead S&OE meetings for medium term planning horizons (16 weeks).
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders (Regional Planner, Warehouse/Logistics teams, Customer
