This role involves planning and scheduling production for one of our carlines, ensuring that orders flow correctly through our systems so that production aligns with sales targets. As a key member of a small and highly collaborative team, you will work closely with cross-functional partners to ensure correct authorisation, accurate order fulfilment, and a smooth production flow. The ideal candidate will have strong analytical ability and confidence working with complex flows, forecasts, and capacity information. You will be responsible for managing the full planning and order scheduling process for your carline, including leading the MPS process, analysing sales forecast input, securing buildable master data, and monitoring plant and material capacities. In addition, you will contribute to the development of future planning processes and support new industrial set-ups.
