Supply planning Lead

We need to produce HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: "Your Contribution" (description of role) - could be About the role. Then responsibilities list. Then "Your Experience & Qualifications" - includes qualifications and experience. Then "Our Offering" - includes benefits? It mentions collaborative environment, personal & career development opportunities, encourage to apply, interview process, links, diversity statement, visa sponsorship note, contact email. No explicit benefits, pay, schedule. So we should include sections: About the role (from "Your Contribution"), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements/Qualifications (maybe combine? but we can separate Requirements and Qualifications if content distinct). The posting has "Your Experience & Qualifications" which includes both experience and qualifications. Could split into Requirements (experience) and Qualifications (education, skills). But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine into one section "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose which to include based on content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (experience), Qualifications (education, skills), maybe Skills (Excel, SAP). Benefits? Not explicit. Pay? Not given. Schedule? Not given. So we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate: diversity statement, visa sponsorship note, contact email, links, "click here", "For more information about MAHLE..." etc. Also remove "Your Contribution" heading? We'll convert that to About the role section. We'll preserve all substantive information. Let's extract substantive content: From "Your Contribution": - The Supply Planning Lead is responsible for leading supply planning activities across BU3 North America, ensuring optimal product availability, inventory performance, and supply continuity. - The role oversees approximately $65 million in annual purchasing volume while leading a team of material and production planners. - Through effective supplier management, production planning, and S&OP participation, this position drives customer service performance, working capital optimization, and operational excellence across the North American supply chain network. - This Role Is Responsible To Maximize product availability and customer service level (CSL1) by ensuring customer orders are fulfilled in the requested quantity and within the requested delivery timeframe. - Manage and optimize inventory levels for BU3 North America product lines, including Filters, Thermal, and Gaskets, with inventory responsibility of approximately $40 million, balancing service, working capital, and inventory health objectives. - Lead, and develop Materials Planners and Production Planners, fostering a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and operational excellence. - Plan and coordinate the supply of components and finished goods from internal and external suppliers to ensure uninterrupted product availability. - Develop and execute production and assembly plans to maximize fill rates for sets and kits while maintaining operational efficiency and inventory targets. - Support the S&OP process by providing supply planning data, inventory analysis, and capacity assessments. - Monitor supplier delivery performance, manage supplier backlogs, and lead escalation processes to mitigate supply risks and maintain continuity of supply. - Ensure compliance with operational purchasing, production planning, and demand planning processes utilizing SAP tools and systems, including SAP MM, SAP PP, GIB, and related planning platforms. - Identify supply chain risks and implement mitigation plans related to supplier constraints, demand fluctuations, inventory imbalances, and capacity limitations. - Collaborate with Strategic Purchasing, Warehouse Operations, Product Management, Manufacturing, Logistics, Sales, Customer Service, Controlling, and HR to ensure alignment of business priorities and supply chain objectives. - Support strategic initiatives and process improvements that enhance supply chain efficiency, customer satisfaction, and overall business performance. That's responsibilities. Now "Your Experience & Qualifications": - Bachelor’s degree in supply chain management, Business Administration, Operations Management, Engineering, or a related field. - 5-10 years of experience in materials planning, production planning, and inventory management. - Previous experience in a manufacturing, distribution, or aftermarket environment is preferred. - Experience managing high-SKU-count (+30K) supply chains preferred. - Advanced knowledge of ERP systems, preferably SAP MM, PP, and related planning modules. - Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including data analysis, reporting, and planning tools. - Experience with supply chain planning systems, forecasting tools, and inventory optimization methodologies. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret large data sets and make data-driven decisions. We can split: Requirements (experience) and Qualifications (education, skills). Or we could have Requirements (experience) and Qualifications (education + technical skills). Skills could be separate: Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, experience with supply chain planning systems, forecasting tools, inventory optimization methodologies, strong analytical and problem-solving skills. But we already have those in qualifications. Might be redundant. Better to have Requirements (experience) and Qualifications (education + technical knowledge). Skills maybe not needed. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see: Requirements: 5-10 years experience, prior manufacturing/distribution/aftermarket preferred, managing high-SKU-count preferred. That's three bullet points. Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in fields, advanced knowledge of ERP systems preferably SAP MM, PP, GIB, advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, experience with supply chain planning systems, forecasting tools, inventory optimization methodologies, strong analytical and problem-solving skills. That's many. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section "Requirements" but the instruction allows multiple sections. However we should avoid thin sections. Having both Requirements and Qualifications may be okay if each has substantive content. Alternatively we could have "Requirements" for experience, "Qualifications" for education and technical skills, and maybe skip Skills section. Now "Our Offering": - We will provide a collaborative environment working on exciting assignments, along with ongoing personal & career development opportunities. - We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every single requirement. You may just be the right candidate for this or other roles! - After receiving your online application, the interview process will typically be a screening call followed by Personal Interview(s) - For more information about MAHLE and what a career with us looks like for you, click here. - and to learn more about our foundation owned technology group click here. - #DiversityMatters with our inclusive culture, we welcome applications from all social, religious & ethnical backgrounds, disabilities both mental and physical, identities (gender) and neurodivergent people. - MAHLE is not currently hiring individuals for this position who now or in the future require sponsorship for employment-based non-immigrant and immigrant visas. However, as a global company, MAHLE offers many job opportunities outside of USA which can be found through our employment website www.jobs.mahle.com - Do you have any questions? MEGHA.A.GUPTA@MAHLE.COM We need to remove boilerplate: diversity statement, visa sponsorship note, contact email, links, "click here", "For more information about MAHLE..." etc. Also remove "Do you have any questions? ..." and email. Also remove encouragement to apply even if you don't meet every requirement? That's generic but maybe still substantive? It's more of a generic encouragement; could be considered boilerplate. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The encouragement to apply even if you don't meet every requirement is like an EEO statement? It's not exactly EEO but it's a generic encouraging statement; could be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove it. Also "After receiving your online application, the interview process will typically be a screening call followed by Personal Interview(s)" is application instructions; remove. So the only substantive from "Our Offering" is: "We will provide a collaborative environment working on exciting assignments, along with ongoing personal & career development opportunities." That's a benefit description. So we can include a Benefits section with that sentence. Thus sections: About the role (from Your Contribution), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (experience), Qualifications (education & technical knowledge), Benefits (collaborative environment, personal & career development). Possibly Skills not needed. We need to format:

About the role

then

... prose

. For responsibilities we need

• each duty. Should we keep as prose? The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. So responsibilities list should be

    • . Similarly requirements list (experience) should be
      • . Qualifications list maybe also
        • . Benefits list maybe
          • if multiple items; we have one sentence, could be

            or

            • . Since it's a single item, could be

              . But instruction: use

              • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. If it's a list (even one item) we could still use
                • . But we can also use

                  . Safer to use

                  for prose. However benefits is a list of benefits; we have one benefit; still could be

                  • . I'll use
                    • for benefits as well. Now we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep all details from the responsibilities, experience, qualifications, benefits. Let's extract each bullet. Responsibilities list (from Your Contribution) each sentence after the first two maybe. Let's list them: 1. The Supply Planning Lead is responsible for leading supply planning activities across BU3 North America, ensuring optimal product availability, inventory performance, and supply continuity. 2. The role oversees approximately $65 million in annual purchasing volume while leading a team of material and production planners. 3.
