Lubs & Grease Production Planner

The purpose of this role is to plan production assets to achieve target levels of inventory availability and maximise efficiencies across the supply chain.

• Capacity utilisation is visible by key resource area (e.g. Blending, Filling, Bulk Loading, Warehouse).
• Appropriate communication between functions is supported by facts to enable improved decision making on scenarios, opportunities, constraints.
• 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 envelope.
• Ensure that master data (static and dynamic) remains accurate.
• Ensure that manufacturing optimisation, inventory holding and customer service are continuously improved through the identification and elimination of waste.
• Ensure that communication between functions within the plant is continuously improved.
• Highlight any LOBP or GMP constraints that need to be taken into account in the Inventory Policy.
• Agree safety stocks with inbound for key components to ensure that raw material availability does not disrupt production.
• Ensure that inventory, batch sizes & set-up times are optimised.
• Ensure that deviations from plan are visible and agree recovery plans, root cause analysis with the operations team to prevent reoccurrence.
• Ensure that capacity utilisation is visible by key resource area (e.g. Blending, Filling, Bulk Loading, Warehouse).
• Supports product introductions and withdrawals being 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 envelope.
• 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 manufacturing optimisation, inventory holding and customer service are continuously improved through the identification and elimination of waste.
• Ensure that communication between functions within the plant is continuously improved by means of supporting regular (at least daily) “Comms Cell” meetings with fresh, accurate, data.
• Highlight any LOBP or GMP constraints that need to be taken into account in the Inventory Policy.
• Work closely with material planners to ensure that raw material availability does not disrupt production.
• Ensure that inventory, batch sizes & set-up times are optimised.
• Ensure that deviations from plan are visible and agree recovery plans, root cause analysis with the operations team to prevent reoccurrence.
• 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.
• Responsible for accurate master data in the system.
• Use relevant KPIs to drive performance and improvements through planning and production.
• Fully compliant with ISO9001 Management Quality system, ISO27001 Information security management systems, IATF 16949 International Automotive Task Force , TS EN ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, ISO 10002 Complaint Handling and Customer Satisfaction Quality Management Systems, ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems standards/procedures/work instruction (c)
