Build and align long-range raw material supply plans with regional planners and the production scheduler.
Flag, escalate, and communicate exceptions with the relevant teams when issues, shutdowns, trials, or other major conflicts affect production.
Coordinate material availability and planning with materials management, and manage logistics discussions with production logistics and third-party outsourced logistics partners.
Create purchase requisitions for raw materials, oversee availability against the plan, and support packaging coordination and intercompany order creation.
Update master data, including packaging-related regulatory data.
Serve as the problem-solving contact for assigned products and as the interface to warehouse logistics providers, including SAP WM-related processes and topics.

Speed up deliveries whenever needed.
Prepare reports that show open orders, supplier confirmations, and delivery timelines to keep stakeholders informed.
Make sure all logistics activities are arranged for the related shipments.
Match month-end physical inventory with SAP records, check invoices for approval, and support control of raw material and packaging deliveries as well as finished raw production at third-party formulation and packaging sites.
