• Cross-Functional Synergy: Partner with Global Procurement, Site Operations, and Sales to improve forecast consumption and drive industry-leading on-time delivery (OTD). >

• Experience: 8+ years of progressive leadership in Master Production Scheduling (MPS) or Integrated Business Planning (IBP). >
