  • Technology and Systems Integration of ERP and Planning Systems: Implement and manage ERP utilization and production planning systems to enable real-time data sharing and decision-making across global sites.
  • Automation and Innovation: Leverage new technologies such as Io T, AI, and automation to enhance production efficiency and data accuracy.
  • Performance Monitoring: Track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as production efficiency, order fulfilment rates, and inventory turnover. Identify areas for improvement and implement corrective actions as needed.
  • Risk Management: Identify potential hazards to production capacity and develop contingency plans. Mitigate risks related to production capacity, such as equipment failures or supply shortages.
  • Continuous Improvement: Implement best practices in production planning and supply chain management. Drive initiatives to improve production processes, reduce costs, and enhance overall efficiency.
