• Prepare weekly and monthly demand-versus-supply reports highlighting production requirements, material availability, inventory projections, planning gaps, and supply risks.

• Maintain planning-data accuracy and ensure timely communication of operational requirements, changes, risks, and dependencies to relevant stakeholders.

• Perform other duties related to the role as assigned by the direct manager or relevant management to support business needs and operational continuity.
