Your responsibilities include:
- Production plans SIOP. Understand capabilities of all Malvern Panalytical factories in terms of material and capacity. Be able to present this to the company in a monthly overview. Use this in the monthly Sales Inventory and Operation Planning (SIOP) process to align supply and demand. Signal factories where and when supply needs to go up or down.
- Inventory and Service Levels (on time delivery, leadtime). Maintain a holistic view of the company’s inventory, and delivery service level. It’s your duty to analyze the health of the performance indicators and predict (avoid) any complications that could arise. You give direction to refinement of organizational processes and give Malvern Panalytical the platform we need to optimize.
- Vendor communication. Getting parts in and products out in time is half of your job. The other half is communication. Communication to internal customers and upstream supply chain. The global supply chain oversees whether the production plans are indeed communicated to the upstream supply chain as material requirements. You oversee the quality of this process (and data) and work with strategic purchasing to ensure that suppliers are responsive to this input.
