In our factory, there is a planning team which is now looking for a new Master Planner, due to retirement. The team has a team leader, and reports to our Logistics and Distribution Manager, both of whom are located in Stora Sundby.
Are you our new Master Planner?
The role of Master Planner is a versatile role, with a long term and strategic focus, leading the planning processes. The role is responsible to plan and schedule the production of our Global Product Assortment at our manufacturing units. Your main area of responsibility will be the Stora Sundby factory, but also collaborating and supporting our other assembly sites.
Furthermore, the role is leading and developing the S&OP process in collaboration with other key stakeholders and is being an active interface between our supply chain and the production shop floor.

- Analyze data to apply statistical models to understand future demand and mitigate risks. (Using forecast data to adjust our capacity models at the factory)

4. Report, analyse and deliver department KPI’s (e.g., Forecast Accuracy)
