Zweck:

The Experienced Analyst for E2E Product Planning will support the establishment of efficient planning methods and parameters for the Supply Chain of our CMFT products. We are looking for candidates with upward potential who are digitally savvy, possess strong analytical skills, and demonstrate planning potential in demand, supply, and inventory management. Clear communication skills are essential for success in this role, which focuses on identifying and addressing end-to-end (E2E) planning imbalances through exception-based and scenario-based methodologies. 

This position will involve a collaborative effort with cross-functional teams to drive improvements in E2E product planning processes, supporting financial integration, life cycle management, product segmentation, and scenario planning.

Your responsibilities:

E2E Planning Optimization & Supply Chain Configuration 

• Optimize planning methods and parameters, establishing segmentations, tolerances, and triggers for alerts and escalations. 
• Set supply chain parameters in alignment with production sites (e.g., safety stock levels, make frequencies, minimum order quantities, lead times). 
• Orchestrate resolutions for E2E plan imbalances concerning customer service, cost, and inventory. 

Inventory Optimization 

• Support structural inventory optimization and mitigation actions across multi-echelon environments. 
• Assist in SLOB management and optimization efforts. 
• Contribute to the financial planning and reporting process through effective data analysis. 

Sense & Respond 

• Generate smart alerts to identify exceptions across the network and support issue resolution from a planning perspective. 
• Assess exceptions for business impact and categorize them for escalation when necessary. 
• Document trends and lessons learned to contribute to continuous improvement initiatives. 
• Provide insights for strategic capacity management across the portfolio (near and mid-term). 

IBP Process & Scenario Planning 

• Actively participate in and represent the Global Planning team in the Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) and IBP processes. 
• Connect outputs from Site Supply Review meetings to develop E2E scenarios and resolutions, translating early warnings into actionable findings for the S&OP/IBP processes. 
• Align with key stakeholders on scenario selection and ensure timely publication of results. 
  

New Product Introduction (NPI) Planning 

• Optimize NPI planning hierarchy and associated parameters while monitoring demand, supply, and inventory commitments for production readiness. 
• Highlight and mitigate NPI planning risks through the IBP process. 

Metrics/KPI Monitoring 

• Assist in reporting, monitoring, and highlighting gaps to drive improvements in key performance indicators (KPIs) related to service (OTIF, CBO, Plan Attainment, and Forecast Accuracy) and inventory (DOS, SLOB). 

Cross-Functional Collaboration 

• Work closely with various stakeholders, including Demand and Supply Planning teams, Value Stream Leaders (VSLs), Product Management, Finance, and Commercial departments to ensure alignment and effective communication. 

Qualifications we are looking for:

• Bachelor’s degree in Science, Engineering, Business, Supply Chain Management, or a related field is required. 

• An advanced degree is preferred but not required. 
• Fluent English is required.

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in a healthcare or similarly complex, regulated environment, with experience in Supply Chain Planning preferred. 

• Understanding of end-to-end supply chain principles and related planning processes, specifically in demand, supply, and inventory management. 

• Strong analytical skills and proficiency in ERP systems (SAP) and Excel; familiarity with sophisticated planning systems is a plus. 

At Johnson & Johnson, we want every candidate to feel supported throughout the hiring process. Our goal is to make the experience clear, fair, and respectful of your time.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Application review: We’ll carefully review your CV to see how your skills and experience align with the role.
• Getting to know you: If there’s a good match, you’ll be invited to a short call with one of our recruitment team to understand more about you and answer any questions that you might have.
