Job details:
The Supply Manager is responsible for translating unconstrained demand plans into constrained and feasible supply plans that optimize capacity, asset utilization, and material flows across cast houses, mills, finishing lines & tollers. 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: FRP (36 KT/month), Foils (4.5 KT/month) across 12 Streams (8 FRP + 4 Foils), 24K SKUs (22K FRP + 2K Foil), 2K + Customers (1.5K FRP + 0.5K Foil), Pan Geographic operations.
Supply: 6 manufacturing units(BMRTHAd) + 11 cast houses + value addition units that together deliver FRP (36 KT/month), Foils (4.5 KT/month)
Network wide Working Capital ~ 15 days of Finished Goods (about 17 KT), and 45 days of WIP (about 60 KT)

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 cast houses, mills, finishing lines & tollers, while balancing customer priorities and cost efficiencies
- Manage casting campaigns to optimize material flow, yield, and setup times while meeting market and customer requirements
- Balance service levels with inventory and working capital targets w.r.t make-to-stock / make-to-order strategies by segment.
- Run what if scenario simulations and conduct “what-if” analyses to assess the impact of changes in volume, inventory, capacity utilization, profitability, and service levels
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
- Provide utilization views and future capacity outlooks (3months)
Cross-Functional Collaboration and S&OP Integration
- Work closely with demand planners, production, logistics, and finance teams to ensure end-to-end synchronization between demand, supply, and financial plans
- Contribute to S&OP reviews by providing clear visibility into constraints, risks, and trade-offs that impact production and fulfilment
- Leverage Blue Yonder analytics and dashboards to deliver insights that enhance decision-making and drive alignment across functions
Digital and Process Excellence
- Utilize the full capabilities of Blue Yonder’s IBP platform for capacity balancing, supply optimization, and “what-if” simulations
- Strengthen planning processes through continuous improvement initiatives that shorten cycle times and enhance responsiveness. Maintain high standards of data integrity across Blue Yonder, ERP, and plant execution systems to enable reliable and consistent decision-making
