The opportunity has arisen for the implementation of a Production Planning Manager within our Manufacturing Business. Reporting to the Regional Director, this role will drive a standard process which optimises sales and operational planning to ensure efficient flow of customer demands through to timber requirements across the whole manufacturing group.
In order to achieve optimised sales you will develop a planning process that utilises our internal system (Navision) for all manufacturing sites, whilst monitoring demands and trends to allow for improved forecasting and future accuracy to be implemented.
You will be responsible for building and developing relations with the sales team and site leaders in order to facilitate a maintained oversight of complete demand and to drive the accuracy of inventory transactions, whilst managing slow moving and obsolete stock.
As an experienced Production Planning Manager you will have vast experience in sales forecasting and resource management preferably for multi-sites and ideally in the implementation of new planning processes. You should be flexible in your approach within this fast paced environment with a proven track record of driving productivity and planning whilst being mindful of ever changing demands.
Excellent attention to detail and competency in decision making and problem solving is key to success.
