We are seeking an operations leader to lead a team that analyzes and resolves supply constraints derived from aggregated forecasts—covering both supplier‑parts and shop‑floor capacity limitations. In this role you will coordinate and execute comprehensive Supply Plan Reviews, acting as the primary liaison between Global Supply Chain (GSC) and Production Operations Site support functions. You will drive accountability across GSC and Production Sites to ensure that all external and internal supply data are complete, accurate, and consistently maintained and that actions to close supply constraints are closed.
Your team will lead span‑optimization initiatives and performance‑analytics projects, focusing on cost and schedule reduction and the identification of critical parts that could impact program delivery. By leveraging SIOP dashboards and custom reports, you will turn raw data into actionable insights that keep supply and capacity plans current and aligned with business objectives.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading a cross‑functional team that diagnoses supplier‑part and production‑capacity constraints based on consolidated forecasts.
- Orchestrating regular Supply Plan Review meetings, ensuring clear communication and swift decision‑making between GSC, Production Sites and other stakeholders.
- Enforcing data integrity and completeness for both external supplier information and internal capacity metrics.
- Driving span‑optimization activities that balance workload, reduce excess inventory, and improve overall cost‑schedule performance.
- Managing performance‑analytics efforts to spotlight high‑impact parts, bottlenecks, and opportunity areas.
- Utilizing SIOP dashboards, advanced analytics, and reporting tools to provide senior leadership with real‑time visibility into supply health and capacity readiness.
- Maintaining up‑to‑date supply and capacity plans, guaranteeing that they reflect the latest forecast revisions and operational realities.
Why this role matters
By steering the intersection of supply planning, capacity management, and data analytics, you will directly influence our ability to meet delivery commitments, control program costs, and sustain a resilient supply chain. This is a high‑visibility leadership position with direct impact on product success and a clear pathway to senior strategic roles. If you thrive on turning complex data into decisive actions, enjoy leading collaborative teams, and are passionate about optimizing supply‑chain performance, we invite you to join us and shape the future of our operations.
