You will manage the primary planning between our internal S&OP/Demand plans and our critical external supply partners, including Foundries (Front-End) and OSATs (Back-End). The goal is to facilitate the monthly forecast alignment, validate external capacity commitments, and ensure the agreed capacity and supply plan is accurately reflected in our internal systems. This role is crucial for proactively identifying external supply bottlenecks, driving communication to manage changes, and securing the necessary capacity to meet our long-term strategic demand.

• External Forecast Alignment: Own the process for sharing the consolidated 18-month rolling demand forecast with designated key suppliers (Foundries, OSATs) to initiate capacity planning cycles.
• Capacity Commitment: Receive, analyze, and challenge supplier capacity commitments, ensuring alignment with forecast and internal inventory/service level goals.
• Lead External Capacity Gap Closure: Drive and facilitate dedicated meetings (e.g., Forecast Review, Capacity Gap Closure) with internal and external stakeholders to understand demand/forecast changes, define clear capacity gap closure action plans, and secure necessary supply.
• System Capacity Maintenance: Model and maintain confirmed external supplier capacity data in the Advanced Planning System (APS) as basis for the internal supply planning and Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) cycle.
• Bottleneck Identification: Proactively identify potential capacity risks, trade-offs, and supply bottlenecks at the external supplier level, and escalate critical issues to S&OP, Supplier Planning, Operations and Procurement leadership.
• Relationship Management: Support the strategic supplier relationship by coordinating business meetings and preparing materials for Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) for key external partners.
• Data Accuracy: Set-up and monitor key supplier performance indicators (KPIs) related to capacity commitment accuracy and adherence.
• Coordinate and prepare the monthly external S&OP report-out detailing supplier capacity performance, risks, and proposed action items for Management Team (MT) review.
• Govern and standardize modeling of external capacities, driving requirements for advanced planning system enhancements.
• Integrate Product Lifecycle Management (NPI/EOL) into the capacity planning process to proactively manage demand transitions

• Proven experience in managing complex, long-lead-time supplier relationships in a high-volume, high-mix setting.
• Strong hands-on experience in an end-to-end Supply Chain, Logistics, or Factory Planning function.
• Advanced Planning Systems (APS): Working proficiency in Advanced Planning Systems (e.g., Kinaxis, SAP IBP, Blue Yonder) specifically related to capacity modeling and supplier interface modules.
• Data & Analytics: Proficiency in Data Analytics and Business Intelligence (BI) tools (e.g., Power BI) for monitoring supplier performance and analyzing large datasets.
• ERP Systems: Solid working knowledge of ERP system logic (e.g., SAP) related to Purchase Orders and master data impacting external supply.
