Job Description Insight Global’s Satellite Manufacturing client is seeking a dynamic, cross-functional leader with strong analytical skills to join their Supply Chain team. The Senior Demand Planning Principal will be responsible for evaluating complex problems to ensure the right parts in the right place, at the right time. When parts get old, this role is key to making sure that we keep working parts on active aircraft, otherwise, there is no revenue! This position needs to be comfortable managing complex supply chain issues, with significant impact from technical engineering decisions and interface with Financial Planning, Accounting, and SOX compliance.
Responsibilities
Lead the cross-functional development of critical annual budgets for acquisition of new parts for aerospace terminal installations on various aircraft, development of the annual repair plan for critical avionics and aircraft parts (taking into account technical trends, financial constraints, and work scope management.) In a typical year, spend on new parts exceeds $150MM and spend on repairs falls on the range of $20-30MM.
Collaborate with other Supply Chain stakeholders to ensure that critical spare parts are available to support airline customer operations and to preserve Intelsat revenue. Works with suppliers to ensure that the configuration of parts that are undergoing repairs matches demand.
Work closely with Finance to create SOX-required quarterly excess and obsolete inventory analyses and recommendations, and explicitly work to incorporate strategies to reduce excess/obsolete inventories into annual purchase/repair plans. Drive meetings to review recommendations with senior Finance and Operations executives.
Make quick decisions based on data analysis related to changing parts requirements due to reliability gaps or changes in product planning.
Create part specific supply chain plans for new part introduction, sparing and failures, obsolescence, and reliability improvements.
Create vendor specific forecasts for the procurement team to support vendor negotiations for price, capacity, and other key contract terms.
Manage the automated Material Resource Planning (MRP) process in the company’s ERP to give clear signals to suppliers, purchasing and procurement teams.
Manage the continuous improvement of the MRP tool so that it can handle the complexities related to FAA regulations.
Publish a clear set of rules around which customers can use which parts (and potentially which specific revisions) based on certification authority and customer approvals. Interface closely with Industrialization and Engineering to accomplish this objective.
Provide clear signals to our Customer Operations and Master Production Scheduling teams so the right parts are used for the intended purpose to eliminate wasteful spending.
Drive inventory analyses in company operations locations (Amsterdam and Itasca, principally) to ensure proper stacking/holding of inventory globally to support operations.
