Supply Planning is made up of sales forecasting and production and materials planning.
If you have a role in this team you will be helping to champion the joined up supply chain through demand and supply planning that enables our business to win with our customers. To drive excellent customer service, our role is to ensure that the products our customers want are always available, without fail, day in, day out. This means creating a sale forecast and production plan that makes sure the right materials and products reach the right place at the right time and price - from suppliers to customers. We also have to ensure that we carry the lowest possible stock levels that ensure 100% delivery to customers. We work closely with colleagues in sales, marketing, buying, manufacturing and customer logistics to deliver great product at the best cost.
Graduate roles in Supply Planning could include a sales forecast role in our commercial head quarters in Uxbridge, and a production planning or materials planning role at Bournville in Birmingham.
