Capture the Demand

 

• Consolidate and analyze the demand forecast (BoQs / BOMs (Business Opportunity Management) and forecast plan) from tender team, project team and S&OP (Sales & Operations Plan) demand plan
• Check the consistency and completeness of the demand forecast and put in place corrective actions when needed
• Inject the demand forecast into GSI (and / or Short-Term Monthly Demand Planning tool)
• Contribute to the anticipation process (consolidate, check approval process consistency, perform netting when Sales Order is placed)
• For firm demand, validate the adequacy between the need expressed by the project team and the product lead-time communicated by the supplier before registering the firm need into GSI (through Sales Order, Activity Network, Purchasing Info Record (PIR), etc.)
• Guarantee that the data inside the ERP / Core Planning Tool are the latest update

 

Contribute to planning instances & monthly reporting

 

• Collaborate to the quarterly S&OP:
  • Build the industrial planning for opportunities in coherency with inputs from tender team, project team, site strategic plan and firm projects already in the portfolio
  • Perform operations workload versus workforce analysis and analyze bottlenecks (site capacity)
  • Provide output to central S&OP team for global consolidation
• Ensure that S&OP instance decisions are reflected as input into Sales Inventory and Operations Planning (SIOP)
• Participate to the SIOP cycle by doing the appropriate simulations and propose feasible scenario to support decisions to be taken (with internal and/or external solution)

• Support the stakeholders (i.e. Product Manager, Obsolescence Manager & Catalogue Managers) in production volumes analysis / consolidation
• Report the Work In Progress (WIP) and Finished goods (FG) for Hard Inventory (HI) consolidation in time
• Report the Manufacturing Throughput and Production Performance KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) in time
• Ensure that all KPIs are calculated according to the standard rules

 

Build and update the Master Production Schedule (Firm Demand only)

 

• Build the production plan taken into account availability of Material, Men, Machine (3M approach)
• Get the commitment on the hypothesis taken from all stakeholders
• Resource Management:
  • Calculate manufacturing and testing workload inside the Planning Tool / ERP
  • Identify the quantity of resources (not nominatively) needed per workshop, metier, skills

  • Identify the bottlenecks as well as all other possible risks on the production plan
  • Alert Industrial Planning manager and PrPM / SSM of the projects involved each time maximum capacity is reached 
  • Propose scenario to secure and/or recover production plan (internal and/or external solution)
• Daily monitoring:
  • Monitor production plan adherence
  • Analyze the root causes of delay of the production plan (using 5-Why method) and their impact (including on other projects in case of multi project line)
  • Participate to alignment meeting with industrial teams (Manufacturing / Testing / Supply Chain)
  • Contribute to escalation process in case of non-adherence
• Guarantee that the data inside the ERP / Core Planning Tool are the latest update
• Update industrial planning into the Planning Tool / ERP each time there is a change validated by all stakeholders
• Update weekly the actual dates and communicate internally on the production plan status through a cockpit (tabl
