  • Drive continuous improvement projects (e.g., lead time reduction, batch size optimization, ERP automation). Implement best practices in planning (e.g., Kanban, VMI for packaging).
  • Train and guide junior planners and specialists on planning tools, SOPs, and supply chain KPIs. Review their work for accuracy.
  • Represent planning function in internal/external audits (FDA, EMA, MHRA). Ensure planning records and justifications are inspection-ready.
