What will you be doing?

Are you an experienced Supply Chain planning professional seeking an exciting role in a complex and dynamic environment? Then we're looking for you!

As Manager of Supply & Demand Planning, you'll play a crucial role in optimizing production and ensuring maximum delivery reliability to our customers. You'll oversee the demand and supply flows related to short and medium-term planning (demand flows up to approximately 2 weeks ahead, supply flows up to approximately 6 weeks ahead). You'll be responsible for optimizing the capacity utilization of the facilities within our 2 factories, improving delivery reliability, and reducing waste through inefficient planning (thus contributing to cost optimization). Additionally, you'll be responsible for the Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process, ensuring the mid- to long-term balance between demand and supply.

The Supply & Demand Planning department is part of the Supply Chain department, consisting of sub-departments such as Supply & Demand, Transportation, Logistics, and De Jong Box (box setup).

The Supply & Demand Planning department consists of 4 components:

• Demand Planning, which deals with customer demand and the global production planning (up to approximately 2 weeks ahead).
• Supply Planning, which translates demand into material requirements with a focus on paper (what is needed to achieve the planned production).
• Inventory Management, which deals with production and inventory administration.
• Production Planning, also known as Scheduling & Planning, which translates the demand plan into a detailed production schedule.
• The activities within the Supply & Demand Planning department relate to both factories.

Furthermore, the following tasks are part of this role:

• Participating in the Operations Management Team (OMT), discussing deviations, specificities, and reporting KPIs.
• Developing control over the day-to-day planning cycles and annual/strategic planning.
• Driving process and system improvements in the planning domain to support ambitious growth plans and enhance efficiency in planning processes.
• Comfortably and effectively building and maintaining relationships with other functions such as Sales, Production, and Finance, and navigating across different hierarchical levels within the organization.
• Leading a large team of planning professionals, challenging them to continuously improve their own work domain, fostering personal/team development, and promoting collaboration with other functions.
