Engineering Capacity Planning within the NASC Engineering team is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Sr. Supply Chain Manager to lead our supply chain optimization efforts. In this pivotal role, you will work closely with cross-functional teams to develop and implement strategies for optimizing our build plans, as well as drive automation and retrofits to ensure our network capacity remains robust, updated, and fully utilized. This position will support the programmatic functions of the overall organization, providing insight into each pillar as we contribute to long-term build plans, material handling solutions, and the retrofitting of existing processes. You will be responsible for implementing mechanisms such as MBRs, QBRs, and program and project-level tracking mechanisms, and providing support to multiple L7 leaders.
Key job responsibilities
Build Plan Development: Collaborate with network planning and engineering teams to develop, refine, and optimize a comprehensive build plan that aligns with the organization's strategic goals and growth objectives.
Capacity Planning: Manage capacity planning efforts, ensuring that our network capacity is continuously evaluated and optimized to support our operations through peak and prime periods.
Automation and Retrofit Initiatives: Identify opportunities for automation and retrofit projects within the supply chain to enhance efficiency and reduce operational costs.
