Job description
Role Purpose Lead end-to-end planning across demand, supply, materials, and execution to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and with optimal inventory and resource utilization.
Key Responsibilities
Integrated Planning o Drive S&OP / S&OE cadence aligning Procurement, Warehouse, and Installation. o Convert forecasts, DPR/BOM, and project schedules into executable material and capacity plans. o Freeze weekly/monthly dispatch and installation plans. Material & Inventory Planning o Plan procurement and replenishment based on BOM, lead times, and safety stock.
o Eliminate SKU duplication and ensure BOM–SKU alignment in FEP. o Control slow/non-moving and excess inventory. Production / Fabrication Planning (Structures/BOS) o Plan fabrication schedules with vendors considering HDG timelines and capacity. o Track customized vs. standard structure readiness against project need dates.
Dispatch & Logistics Planning o Create warehouse-wise dispatch plans to meet installation targets. o Optimize vehicle loads, routes, and TAT for inter-state movements. o Monitor dispatch accuracy as per DPR/BOM. Cross-Functional Coordination o Work closely with Design for timely DPR/BOM release and revisions. o Coordinate with Procurement for material availability and vendor schedules.
