Mt Prospect, United States Trifect Solutions Full time
Demand Planner

Job Type : Full-time
Location : Mt Prospect, IL
Type : Onsite
Background
The position of demand planner will help develop and improve the demand planning process across accounts, businesses, and production lines. This highly collaborative role will solicit inputs from sales, customers, and other stakeholders to develop a time-phased, assumption-based demand plan. Both unconstrained and constrained forecasts will be developed to ensure the final plan is aligned with actual production capacity. In addition, this position will need to compare customer-supplied forecasts with actual trends to help validate the position and drive improvements in forecasting accuracy. This role may also help with production scheduling on some lines where a hybrid demand-supply planning role makes sense.

The role will use forecasting accuracy KPIs and exception management to continually improve the demand plan and hit key objectives.

The demand planner will present forecasts and key assumptions in the demand review and other forums as part of the Integrated Business Planning process.

Responsibilities
  • Manage the inputs, outputs, and deliverables associated with the demand planning process.
  • Become a cross-functional leader who will obtain inputs from sales, customers, finance, supply planning, manufacturing, and other functions to develop an assumption-based demand plan.
  • Develop, achieve, and improve forecasting accuracy KPIs and provide key item exception reporting.
  • Develop CPFR (collaborative planning) relationships with key customers to align on events/promotions and demand plans to achieve customer service objectives.
  • Use statistical forecasting and actual shipment/order trends to validate the demand plan.
  • Present the demand plan and key assumptions at the demand review and in other parts of the Integrated Business Planning process.
  • Create a "one-team environment with supply planning to improve service and inventory metrics.
  • Be available to help with planning production on some lines where a demand-supply planning hybrid role is requested.

Qualifications
  • 2-5 years of experience in demand planning, supply planning, or related functions.
  • BA required. Specific academic background not required.
  • Strong collaborative, interpersonal, problem-solving, leadership, and persuasion skills.
  • Background in a private equity or startup environment is helpful.
  • Familiarity with JDE or related ERP systems is preferred.
  • Strong Excel and Office skills are required. Database skills such as SQL or Access a plus.
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to handle a dynamic and fast-moving environment with recurring deliverables.
  • Ability to develop forecast models and an understanding of basic statistics required.
