  • Coordinate with QA/QC on batch release timelines and with Regulatory on market registrations and artwork changes
  • Plan capacity for new product launches, new markets and the ongoing plant and warehouse expansion
  • Own planning KPIs (OTIF, forecast accuracy, schedule adherence, inventory days) and report them to leadership
  • Improve planning processes and make full use of SAP S/4HANA (PP/MM)
  • Lead, coach and develop the planning team
