About the Assignment

You will lead a strategic pre-study that will define the future of an organization's Advanced Planning System (APS).

The assignment is about turning that complexity into a clear direction for the next investment decision.

You will work at the intersection of business, IT, and supply chain, engaging stakeholders across demand planning, supply planning, operations, inventory management, S&OP, and integration. Your focus will be to evaluate different future scenarios, create a fact-based recommendation, and outline a high-level roadmap for what comes next.

This is an exciting opportunity if you enjoy shaping strategy in a complex industrial environment where your work will directly influence future planning capabilities.
