• Define and maintain inventory targets and replenishment strategies, balancing service levels, cost and stock levels,
• Monitor inventory (including slow-moving and at-risk stock) and coordinate mitigation actions with key stakeholders,
• Collaborate closely with production, logistics, Demand Planning and Customer Service to ensure plan execution and manage deviations,
• Maintain planning parameters and ensure high data quality in SAP and planning tools,
• Track supply chain KPIs and drive continuous improvements in planning processes and performance.

• Hands-on experience in site-based planning and close coordination with production, maintenance and logistics,
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in supply chain management, Industrial Engineering, Business Administration, Operations Management or related discipline.
• A solid understanding of end‑to‑end supply chain and production planning processes in a manufacturing environment,
• Strong SAP or equivalent ERP skills for planning, MRP and inventory management,

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving professional; able to analyze data and translate insights into actions,
• Collaborative, building strong relationships across teams and stakeholders,
• An effective communicator, able to collaborate with site operations, regional planning and business stakeholders.
