Reimagine Materials Planning

Define the vision and multi-year roadmap for how Materials Planning should operate, with the goal of shifting planner time from data handling and follow-up to analysis, judgment, and decision-making

Take an AI-first approach: start from what AI and automation can do, and redesign processes and roles around it rather than layering tools onto today's workflows

Move the function toward proactive, exception-based planning and, over time, toward decision support where analysis and recommendations are prepared for human review

Build the business case, sequence the work, and use results to decide what to scale, change, or stop

Evaluate Build vs. Buy for Tools and Systems

Assess the software, tool, and systems landscape for planning, data integration, and supply chain visibility, including AI-enabled solutions

Lead build-vs-buy decisions: define requirements, run vendor evaluations and pilots, and weigh total cost, time to value, integration effort, security and data governance, and long-term maintainability

Partner with IT, Data/Analytics, and Engineering to build internal solutions where they are the better choice, and to integrate all solutions with our ERP and supply chain planning systems

Set the standards for how AI is used in planning, including data quality, validation of outputs, human oversight, and auditability

Process Development and Workflow Automation

Design, document, and roll out standardized planning processes and workflows across CMs, suppliers, and internal teams
