Data Collection & Integration

S&OP Cycle Support

• Maintain demand history, support the baseline forecast, and track forecast accuracy and bias.

• Build the supply view covering production capacity, raw material coverage, inventory projections, and constraints

• Run scenarios such as demand changes, raw material shortages, vessel delays, and price movements, and quantify their impact on volume, service, and margin

Insights, Reporting & Dashboards

• Design and own the S&OP dashboards and Operational KPI scorecards

• Turn data into clear insights on what changed, why, and the recommended action

• Deliver ad-hoc analysis for management on stock deviations, raw material consumption vs standard, service levels, cost-to-serve, and working capital (Raw material and Packaging)

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE:

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Statistics, Data Science, Business, or a related field (certification such as CPIM/CSCP, IBF CPF, or Power BI Data Analyst preferred).
