• Manage demand exceptions including spikes, pushouts, pull‑ins, overrides, and last‑minute customer commits.
• Monitor forecast accuracy, bias, stability, and demand variability; drive root‑cause analysis and continuous improvement.
• Facilitate demand reviews with commercial, customer service, finance, and SIOP teams to align on consensus demand.
• Build and run what‑if scenarios to evaluate demand shifts, new product introductions, and customer allocation strategies.
• Support demand planning KPIs and dashboards within RapidResponse, ensuring data quality and planning calendar adherence.

• Hands‑on experience with statistical forecasting, demand sensing, and causal factor modeling.
• Ability to challenge commercial inputs with data‑driven insights.
• Comfortable leading monthly demand review cycles and presenting forecast drivers to leadership.

Expected to manage constraints, collaborate across functions, and drive feasible supply responses.

Core Responsibilities

• Convert demand plans into feasible, constraint‑aware supply plans using RapidResponse supply planning worksheets.
• Identify material shortages, capacity risks, and expedite requirements; propose mitigation actions.
• Optimize material availability, replenishment strategies, and supplier allocations.
• Collaborate with procurement, manufacturing, engineering, and logistics to resolve constraints and execution gaps.
• Run constrained and unconstrained supply scenarios to support SIOP, NPI, and risk‑mitigation discussions.
• Manage supply exceptions, late POs, supplier delays, and BOM changes.
• Support supply planning KPIs such as OTIF, supply adherence, and capacity utilization.

• Strong understanding of multi‑echelon supply networks and constraint‑based planning.
• Ability to drive cross‑functional alignment and influence decisions with scenario outputs.
• Experience supporting SIOP cycles and presenting supply risk summaries.

Inventory Optimization (Kinaxis IO) - 3+ Year Exp

Expected to balance service levels with working capital and drive inventory strategy.

• Set and maintain safety stock, reorder points, and buffer strategies using Kinaxis IO or RapidResponse IO modules.
• Analyze inventory drivers (variability, lead time, MOQ, service targets) and recommend optimization actions.
• Reduce excess, slow‑moving, and obsolete inventory through structured root‑cause analysis.
• Model inventory policies for long‑lead‑time, critical, and high‑variability components.
• Provide inventory projections, risk assessments, and scenario analysis for SIOP and financial planning.
• Partner with procurement and supply planning to align stocking strategies with supplier capabilities.
• Maintain inventory dashboards and ensure data integrity across planning parameters.

• Proven ability to balance service levels vs. working capital.
• Experience with inventory segmentation (ABC/XYZ), variability analysis, and policy simulation.
• Ability to explain inventory drivers to leadership in simple, business‑friendly language.

Master Production Scheduler (Kinaxis MPS) 3+ Years Exp

Expected to stabilize production, manage constraints, and ensure execution readiness.

Core Responsibilities

• Translate demand, supply, and capacity inputs into a stable, executable Master Production Schedule.

• Sequence production based on capacity, constraints, changeover rules, and scheduling agreements.
• Ensure MPS aligns with material availability, labor constraints, and equipment capacity.
• Track adherence to plan, analyze deviations, and adjust based on real‑time shop‑floor changes.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, engineering, and supply chain teams to resolve execution issues.
• Support NPI ramp‑ups, engineering changes, and production readiness assessments.

• Strong understanding of capacity planning, routings, and production constraints.
• Experience stabilizing MPS in volatile environments.
• Ability to communicate schedule impacts clearly to operations leadership.

Scheduler (Finite / Constraint‑Based Scheduling) 3+ Years Exp

Expected to optimize production flow and respond quickly to disruptions.

Core Responsibilities

• Build detailed production schedules at work‑center, machine, and resource levels using finite scheduling logic.
• Optimize sequencing to reduce changeovers, minimize bottlenecks, and improve throughput.
• Manage capacity loading, labor constraints, shift patterns, and maintenance windows.
• Re‑schedule efficiently in response to shop‑floor disruptions, material shortages, or equipment downtime.
• Provide schedule visibility to operations, supervisors, and shop‑floor teams.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives related to cycle time, OEE, and schedule adherence.
• Collaborate with MPS, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure realistic and executable schedules.

• Hands‑on experience with finite scheduling tools and shop‑floor coordination.
