Day to day

A plan has to satisfy Sales, Production, Logistics, Materials Management, Quality, Finance, Commercial, IT, Spare Parts and suppliers at once.

  • Resolved competing priorities between sales demand, available materials and manufacturing constraints, every day.
  • Expedited shortages with Supply Chain, Stores and the Karachi plant.
  • Supported a 720-motorcycle export production trial, aligning production, export requirements and dispatch timing.
  • Supported six departments as SAP PP super user.
  • Moved export box assembly to an outside-processing contractor as part of the packing framework.

  2. Check the constraintsMaterials, capacity and quality status against that demand.
  3. Agree the planTrade-offs settled with the functions affected.
  4. Follow throughExpedite, re-sequence and confirm until it ships.
