The role is to drive accurate SKU forecasting and optimize inventory levels across international and regional markets, minimizing out-of-stocks and excess inventory waste. Partner closely with global markets to align demand, optimize production capacity, and ensure efficient utilization of production lines to meet business needs.

Translate consolidated global demand into a Master Production Schedule (MPS).

Translate demand signals into monthly actionable production and packaging schedules for own canning facilities or co-packers.

Balance production runs to optimize factory efficiency (minimizing line changeovers between different fish types/sauces) while meeting market delivery deadlines.

Manage safety stock allocations across regional hubs, shifting inventory dynamically if one market experiences a sudden shortage or surge.

Balance target inventory levels with shelf-life constraints to minimize slow-moving stock, obsolescence, and write-offs.

Ability to lead Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) alignment meetings to resolve demand-supply imbalances and mitigate stockout risks

 

Partner with procurement to ensure raw material availability (local or imported fish, tinplate, local ingredients) aligns with the production plan.

Factor in manufacturing operational constraints, such as fishing seasons, plant maintenance, and public holiday shutdowns.
