Assist with the development of the national supply plan across all hubs and depots by using the inbound principals’ supply plans to balance against the network (warehousing and transport) capacity and demand plan requirements for the next 18-24 months.

Identify exceptions where supply does not satisfy demand or where supply exceeds demand.

Develop alternate scenarios to address exceptions by closing the gap between supply and demand (e.g., increase capacity through overtime, building stock in advance, pricing changes to manage demand, and inputting into the supply and demand meeting).

Assist with the development of the warehouse space requirements plan for the next 12 months on a rolling weekly basis and manage the accuracy thereof.

Update the demand planning grids with the appropriate supply information (e.g., stock holding, inbound delivery, transport routing) in line with the demand planning timeline.

Work closely with the principals’ planning teams to ensure that the anticipated production is sufficient to meet the demand in the longer term.

Assist with the consolidation of the regional warehouse requirements plans into a national warehouse requirements plan.

Compile a forward warehouse requirement plan monthly, on a rolling 12 monthly basis.

During peak periods, a weekly view may be required.

Assist with the consolidation of the transport requirements plan and work closely with the Transport Planning team on a quarterly or monthly basis to ensure adequate transport is available.

This forward transport requirements plan will be issued at least quarterly for on a rolling 12-month basis.

During peak periods, a weekly view may be required.

**Short Term Supply Planning**:
On a weekly basis (and daily when stock shortages are experienced), review demand (demand forecasts and actual orders) and stock cover (days) requirements across all regions, depots and stock holding positions and provide guidance on priorities, both by SKU or customer, and by region or depot.

Ensure all decisions made drive optimal customer service while maximising profitability and minimising transport costs.

**Supply Chain Reporting**:
Update the scorecards with the relevant KPI's on a weekly/monthly basis.

Understand the variances against targets for key KPI's and provide explanations and corrective actions required.

Generate the agreed weekly supply planning packs and associated minutes.

Information and Data Management: Regularly and accurately capture data into ADEXA to enable access to reliable data and reporting for trend analysis and decision making.

Administration: Oversee filing and safeguarding of records within area of responsibility.

Compile ad hoc spreadsheets when required.

Take ownership and accountability for tasks and activities and demonstrate effective self-management in terms of planning, prioritising and self-development.
