Product introductions and withdrawals are made in a timely, efficient manner - Based on the rough-cut plan, ensure that production resources (plant, people, materials) are planned to develop an efficient and effective detailed plan, supporting the objectives of the plant and the region. - Ensure that master data (static and dynamic) remains accurate. - Ensure that manufacturing optimization, inventory holding and customer service are continuously improved through the identification and elimination of waste. - Ensure that planning master data (static and dynamic) remains accurate particular regard should be made to planning realistic production output using "actual/proven" rather than "theoretical" capacities. -

Ensure that communication between functions is continuously improved by means of supporting Step 3 and 4 meetings with fresh, accurate, data and options to unlock capacity constraints. - Regularly (quarterly) refresh inventory parameters. - Ensure that delivery sizes and frequency are optimised to achieve lower costs and better service. - Collaborate with deployment planning to resolve sales order exceptions in a timely manner. - Reviewing alerts in a timely manner to ensure system generated production plans are achievable and maintain plans by exception -
