Full description
The group you’ll be a part of
Global Planning & Operations - Factory Planning
The impact you’ll make
The Global Production Planning Program Manager 4 develops and executes global production plans that align customer demand, business objectives, and operational capabilities across the Global Factory Network. This individual contributor role translates long-range demand signals into actionable production plans, evaluates factory capacity and constraints, identifies supply and demand risks, and recommends actions that support predictable delivery outcomes. The role works cross-functionally with Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Logistics, Product Business Units, Finance, and other planning partners to support S&OP, capacity planning, recovery planning, and continuous improvement.
What you’ll do
Global Production Planning & Execution
- Develop and maintain global and site-specific production plans across a 0-18 month planning horizon.
- Translate customer demand, business priorities, factory capabilities, and operational constraints into executable production recommendations.
- Create quarterly production schedules and output targets that support customer responsiveness, lead-time objectives, factory utilization, and delivery performance.
- Analyze factory loading and recommend balancing actions to improve capacity utilization and operational efficiency.
S&OP & Capacity Planning
- Support GOps Sizing and Quarterly Review (QxR) processes by integrating demand forecasts, production capacity, inventory strategies, and business requirements.
- Consolidate capability and constraint inputs from Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Logistics, Product Management, and Finance into planning scenarios and recommendations.
- Develop scenario-based capacity analyses to assess business growth, demand changes, and operational trade-offs.
Risk Management & Recovery Planning
- Identify and assess risks that may affect delivery performance, factory output, or customer commitments.
- Develop contingency plans, recovery capacity models, and alternative production scenarios for identified risks.
- Evaluate factory cross-qualification opportunities that improve network flexibility and business continuity.
Factory Network Optimization
- Analyze Global Factory Network loading, flexibility, responsiveness, and scalability.
- Coordinate planning inputs for cross-site product qualifications and production shifts in response to changing demand profiles.
- Recommend load-balancing actions that leverage global manufacturing capabilities and support level loading across factories.
- Identify opportunities to improve cycle time, throughput, capacity utilization, and output predictability.
