Assist in identifying and resolving conflicts related to manufacturing, materials, and capacity availability, managing the impact of changes while maintaining order integrity. Escalate issues as appropriate. Participate in cross-functional meetings and discussions as required. Provide input for Supply Planning in the S&OP process, ensuring transparency regarding risks and opportunities. Engage in S&OP forums as applicable. Execute planning initiatives to support new product launches and phase-in/phase-out events, including participation in onboarding meetings to provide insights.
