IBP Extrusions Supply Manager

1) Job Purpose

The SupplyManageris responsible for translating unconstrained demand plans into constrained and feasible supply plans that optimize capacity asset utilization and material flows across casters mills presses dies and finishing lines. Leveraging Blue Yonders integrated supply planning capabilities the role ensures alignment between demand forecasts and production realities while driving efficiency reducing scrap and improving inventory performance across the metals value chain

The role is to operate across the complex business comprising of:

• Demand: Extrusions 92 KT/Annum and across 9 Streams 66.5K SKUs 2K Customers Pan Geographic operations.
• Supply: 4 extrusion plants 2 die-shops 3 cast-houses; multiple warehouses value addition units that together deliver Extrusions (7.6 KT/month). # of presses 15 extrusion lines 2025
• Network wide Working Capital 15 days of Finished Goods and 45 days of WIPNetwork wide Working Capital 15 days of Finished Goods and 45 days of WIP (about 75 KT)
