This includes ensuring that all departmental schedules are accurate, up to date, and clearly communicated to all relevant functions to support the short‑term execution of operational plans.

• Update schedules promptly when changes to existing plans occur.
• Maintain accurate planning and scheduling parameters in the system for optimal scheduling performance.
• Generate key metrics and operational measures to identify trends and root causes of performance issues.
• Monitor production data—output volumes, raw material consumption, and quality metrics—and use insights for Continuous Improvement, including maintaining routings, BOMs, and schedule accuracy.

• Degree or equivalent experience in SCM, Procurement or any relevant field
• Experience in SCM, Materials Planning/Scheduling and/or Purchasing
