Company Overview:

At Abbott Laboratories, we are committed to delivering high-quality products that meet the needs of our customers. Our production planning team plays a critical role in ensuring that our manufacturing processes run smoothly and efficiently.

Job Description:

As a Strategic Production Planning Lead, you will be responsible for leading the local Sales & Operations Planning process. This includes analyzing forecasts and data from Demand and Supply Planning to develop solid production plans that meet service level and operations objectives.

You will work closely with Finance and Operations to gain their input and approval into the final results. You will also be responsible for clearly communicating agreed-upon production quantities and mix to Production and other Operations groups.

The goal is to achieve zero backorders, and when backorders exist, you will take full responsibility for backorder management, root cause analysis, status, prioritization, and communication. You will also be responsible for production plan attainment reporting and communication, including holding Operations accountable to the S&OP agreed plan.

Additionally, you will manage new product introductions to achieve agreed-upon launch dates with targeted launch inventory levels while developing and implementing plans that minimize phase out obsolescence.

Monthly inventory management of excess, obsolete, expiring inventory, including developing and implementing solutions to minimize inventory write-offs and communication with Finance on write-off potential, is also part of your responsibilities.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced individual with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, Industrial Engineering, or a related field. A minimum of 5-7 years of work experience in Production Planning or a similar role is required.

Candidates should have intermediate command of English, and a Master's degree is a plus. Medical Device experience is desired, as well as APICS or other Planning-related certification.

Experience with SAP & APO is preferred, but not required. If you are a strategic thinker with excellent analytical and communication skills, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
