Key Responsibilities: Provide analytical support to one or more functional areas Use common processes tools, and information systems to enable supply chain analysis. Ensure data integrity of all analytics and reports. Analyze and interpret Key Performance Indicators to identify areas for improvement and action plans. Participate in six sigma and supply chain improvement projects Use existing business systems to provide analytics and reporting that are capable and repeatable. Requirements: Analyze supply and demand, identify risks, and optimize inventory levels. Align supply plans with demand plans for stability and customer needs. Investigate abnormal demand/inventory signals and run KPI simulations. Prepare reports and implement approved supply plan adjustments. Own detailed demand, supply, and inventory plans. Support data collection and perform additional tasks as needed. Responsibilities: Competencies: Communicates effectively - Developing and delivering multi-mode communications that convey a clear understanding of the unique needs of different audiences.
