  • Improve planning accuracy, DIFOTIS, lead-time reliability, inventory performance, and cost-to-serve.
  • Maintain ERP/MRP data integrity and drive continuous improvement across the site.

To be successful in this role, you'll bring:


  • A tertiary qualification in Supply Chain, Operations, Engineering, Business, or equivalent experience.
  • At least 3 years' experience in production planning, materials planning, procurement, or supply chain within a manufacturing environment.
  • Strong knowledge of forecasting, inventory management, capacity planning, and S&OP processes.
  • Advanced Excel skills and experience with ERP/MRP systems (SAP or similar); Power BI experience is advantageous.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make sound decisions in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across Operations, Sales, Supply Chain, and Logistics.
  • A proactive, continuous improvement mindset, with exposure to Lean, Six Sigma, or similar methodologies.
  • High attention to detail and a focus on planning accuracy, data integrity, and delivering results.
