Jackson Supply Chain Planner
Prysmian · Jackson, TN · 3 wk ago
Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of company and role. We need headings for sections that have real content: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections if posting has real specific content. Let's parse.
Company description: "Prysmian is the world leader...". That's about the company, could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use About the role for introductory paragraph.
Responsibilities: there is a "Key Responsibilities" section with subpoints. We'll list as
- .
Requirements: there is "Required Qualifications". That's qualifications. Also "Preferred Qualifications". Could combine as Requirements? The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have both Required and Preferred qualifications. Could put under "Qualifications". Also "Key Competencies" could be Skills. There's also "Physical & Work Environment Requirements" maybe part of Requirements? Could include under Requirements.
We have "Success Measures" maybe not a standard heading; we could omit or put under something else? Not required.
We have no explicit Pay or Schedule info. So we should NOT include Pay or Schedule sections because posting does not state them. Benefits also not stated. So we omit Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Supply Chain Planner" (also Master Scheduler). We'll not put that as heading.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep details.
We need to remove boilerplate: Job Offer Fraud Alert, EEO, DE&I, Data Protection, contact emails etc. Those are boilerplate/legal/EEO etc. Must remove. Also remove "Job Offer Fraud Alert" etc. Also remove "Visit our DE&I Page". Also remove "Your application data will be treated..." etc. Also remove "If you believe you require assistance..." etc.
Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to keep the substantive content: company description, role summary, responsibilities, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, key competencies, physical & work environment requirements, success measures? Success measures maybe considered part of responsibilities? It's a separate section but not in allowed headings. Could we include under Responsibilities? Might be okay to include as a separate section with heading "Performance Measures"? Not allowed. The instruction says use headings for those specific ones; we can omit sections not matching those headings. So we can drop Success Measures unless we can fit under something else like Responsibilities? But it's about how performance measured; could be considered part of Responsibilities? Might be okay to include under Responsibilities as a bullet? But it's not a responsibility; it's a metric. Safer to omit because not matching allowed headings and we shouldn't create new headings. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; omitting success measures would lose info. But maybe we can incorporate into Responsibilities as a bullet: "Monitor and report key planning metrics including..." That's already under Responsibilities (Performance Analysis). Actually the responsibilities include "Performance Analysis" which covers those metrics. So success measures are similar but we can keep them as part of Responsibilities? The "Success Measures" list is similar to metrics but we can keep as part of Responsibilities maybe as a separate bullet under Performance Analysis? The posting already has Performance Analysis bullet list. The Success Measures list is slightly different but overlapping. We could keep both; but we need to avoid duplication. We could merge them under Performance Analysis. That would preserve info.
Thus we will have sections:
- About the role (company description + role summary)
- Responsibilities (including Production Planning & Scheduling, Demand & Inventory Management, Supply Chain Coordination, Performance Analysis, ERP & Systems Management)
- Qualifications (including Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Key Competencies)
- Requirements (Physical & Work Environment Requirements) maybe also include other requirements like ability to work in office/manufacturing.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We need to use
for section headings. We need
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits.
We need
for prose. We must not include markdown code fences. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine company description and role summary: "Prysmian is the world leader in the energy and telecom cable systems industry... Make Your Mark at Prysmian Group - Join Us The Supply Chain Planner is responsible for developing, maintaining, and optimizing the master production schedule..." We'll put as prose. Then Responsibilities: we need to list each responsibility area with sub-bullets maybe. Could do nested lists? The instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists but we can keep flat list with each duty as a li, and within each li we can have further detail as text. Simpler: each major responsibility as li with its details.
We'll produce:
- Production Planning & Scheduling: Develop and maintain a rolling Master Production Schedule (MPS) for fiber optic cable and related products; translate customer demand forecasts and sales orders into executable production schedules; balance manufacturing capacity, labor availability, equipment constraints, and material supply; monitor schedule adherence and adjust plans to address changing priorities and operational challenges; lead weekly production planning and scheduling meetings with cross-functional teams.
- Demand & Inventory Management: Collaborate with Demand Planning, Sales, and Customer Service to review forecasts and customer requirements; analyze inventory levels and maintain optimal stock to support service and financial objectives; identify demand fluctuations, risks, and capacity gaps and develop mitigation plans; drive inventory reduction initiatives while maintaining required customer service levels.
- Supply Chain Coordination: Partner with Procurement to ensure raw material availability aligns with production schedules; coordinate with Operations and Manufacturing leaders regarding machine utilization and production capacity; work closely with Logistics to support shipment commitments and customer delivery requirements; communicate schedule changes, constraints, and recovery plans to stakeholders.
- Performance Analysis: Monitor and report key planning metrics including schedule attainment, on-time delivery, inventory turns, capacity utilization, customer service levels, production adherence; analyze production performance and recommend schedule improvements; support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance planning accuracy and manufacturing efficiency.
- ERP & Systems Management: Maintain planning parameters and scheduling data within ERP/MRP systems; ensure accuracy of bills of materials, lead times, routing information, and planning master data; support implementation and optimization of planning tools and reporting systems.
- Required Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, Operations Management, or related field; minimum 5 years of production planning, master scheduling, or supply chain experience in a manufacturing environment; experience with ERP/MRP systems such as SAP, Oracle, JD Edwards, or similar; strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills; advanced Microsoft Excel skills; excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration abilities; ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic manufacturing environment.
