Jul 2025 - now

  • With a senior colleague reviewing the change, reconciled MRP exceptions against ERP stock, open purchase orders, and engineering changes to validate material requirements for an electromechanical assembly plan; removed obsolete-component demand before buyers expedited parts that the new BOM no longer required.
  • Within an assigned workstream, rebuilt the production schedule around constrained components, comparing supplier recovery dates with factory capacity and customer delivery priorities; published an approved shortage-recovery plan with owners and dates instead of carrying impossible commitments forward.
  • Within the assigned scope, reconciled forecast demand with inventory and open purchase orders, highlighted capacity and material constraints, and tested the production plan against supplier lead-time changes.
  • Within the assigned scope, owned an MRP exception review using SAP purchase orders, resolved duplicate demand and completed the revised inventory plan before the weekly production meeting.
  • Within the assigned scope, built an Excel reconciliation using ERP lead times, reduced planning exceptions by 21% across two monthly cycles and published the approved rescheduling rules.
