• Integrate predictive and prescriptive analytics to improve forecast accuracy and planning responsiveness.

S&OE & Planning-to-Execution

• Enable Sales & Operations Execution (S&OE) to translate strategic and tactical plans into daily execution.
• Ensure alignment across production scheduling, inventory deployment, order fulfillment, and logistics.
• Support the use of intelligent agents and automation to improve execution speed and exception management.

GenAI, Analytics & Digital Enablement

• Guide clients in selecting and implementing planning technologies (e.g., IBP, o9, OMP, Kinaxis).
• Leverage advanced analytics, simulation, and visualization to deliver actionable planning insights.

Performance, Risk & Resilience

• Define and track supply chain planning KPIs (e.g., service level, inventory turns, plan adherence).
• Identify supply chain risks and design mitigation strategies for disruptions, capacity constraints, and supplier volatility.
• Drive continuous improvement through structured performance management.

Leadership & Client Delivery

• Lead small to mid-sized teams on one or multiple planning workstreams.
• Act as Functional expert with client project teams, ensure proper project delivery and translating planning challenges into executable solutions.
• Support change management, capability uplift, and planner enablement to ensure sustainable adoption.
