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 Yonder's 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)

Key Result Areas/Accountabilities

Supporting Actions

Supply Planning and Optimization

• Translate demand into feasible Supply plans by converting the unconstrained demand signal into constrained and feasible supply plans using Blue Yonder's supply planning suite, ensuring alignment across plants and product lines
• Optimize asset utilization by developing supply plans that maximize throughput and minimize bottlenecks across casters, mills, presses, dies, and finishing lines, while balancing customer priorities and cost efficiencies
• Manage campaign and alloy mix planning by designing and managing alloy and width campaigns to optimize material flow, yield, and setup times while meeting market and customer requirements

Supply Planning adherence and Performance Management

• Monitor adherence to supply plans and proactively address deviations to safeguard customer commitments
• Drive improvements in work-in-progress, scrap, and unallocated finished goods, ensuring better yield and working capital efficiency
