• Coordinate closely with Perfumery, Procurement, Production, NPD and other relevant departments to ensure material readiness.
• Align production plans with available capacity, manpower, production speed and shift requirements.
• Monitor production capacity utilization and identify potential bottlenecks or delivery constraints.
• Take ownership of material and planning issues and ensure timely corrective actions.
• Conduct feasibility assessments for non-forecasted and urgent product requirements based on material availability and production capacity.
• Apply lean manufacturing and continuous improvement practices to improve planning efficiency and reduce operational waste.
