YOUR ROLE

Together with your colleagues in our Control Room, you are responsible as a Supply Chain Planner for steering the warehouse towards achieving its KPIs. In this role, you hold a key position within the logistics operation. The Control Room is the beating heart of the logistics operation for our customer, de Bijenkorf, and is responsible for directing 400 to 600 people in the daily operation.
In the omnichannel warehouse of 33,000 m², shipments are prepared both for online consumers in the Netherlands and Belgium as well as for de Bijenkorf stores. This omnichannel distribution centre is characterized by a high degree of mechanization, combined with a wide variety of processes and large fluctuations in volumes, resulting in diverse staffing levels and product flows. Flexibility, quality, efficiency, and a people-focused approach are key values in this high-end logistics environment.
Each day, you work with the operational planning model, incorporating yesterday’s performance and today’s forecast. By allocating resources at the right time, based on data, you ensure a smooth flow within the warehouse. The department’s goal is to optimize productivity and guarantee delivery reliability.
You will join an enthusiastic team of Operational Control Room Specialists and Data Analysts. In addition, you’ll work closely with Operations Managers, Team Leaders, other departments, and our customer de Bijenkorf. Based at our site in Tilburg, you will work full-time, mainly in regular shifts.
