The Supply Planner is responsible for end-to-end supply planning in a complex, high-mix, high-volume aerospace fastener manufacturing environment. This role owns the development and execution of supply plans for raw materials, purchased components, and manufacturing tooling, while supporting the Long-Term Agreement (MIN MAX) demand planning process. The position also owns long-range material requirements planning, purchasing plan development, and projected material and component spend analysis.

The successful candidate will work closely with the GSM team, Procurement, Production Planning, Sales, Operations, Finance, and customers to translate long-range demand into actionable supply and purchasing requirements.

This is a highly analytical, hands-on position requiring strong data analysis and critical thinking capabilities. The successful candidate must be comfortable working with large, complex datasets, sophisticated planning models, advanced formulas, and automated reporting. The individual in this role is expected to take ownership of planning processes and business issues from initial identification through analysis, stakeholder coordination, corrective action, and resolution.

• End-to-End MIN MAX Ownership: Own the MIN MAX process from beginning to end, including collecting and reviewing customer requirements, coordinating directly with customers and internal stakeholders, validating assumptions, resolving demand input discrepancies, and ensuring demand signals are translated into actionable supply and production requirements.
• Participate in and lead customer meetings related to MIN MAX requirements, demand changes, commitments, and planning issues. Clearly communicate planning requirements and follow through on actions resulting from those discussions.
• Coordinate closely with Production Planners, Sales, Procurement, Operations, and other stakeholders to ensure On Time Delivery of MIN MAX program.
• Independently investigate and resolve issues that arise within the MIN MAX process, including demand discrepancies, data issues, supply risks, planning constraints, and execution gaps. Drive issues through to resolution rather than simply identifying or escalating them.

• Work closely with the GSM team to align long-range material requirements with demand forecasts, supply strategies, sourcing considerations, and business requirements.
• Translate long-range demand into time-phased material and component requirements to support supply continuity, purchasing decisions, inventory planning, and financial forecasting.
• Continuously evaluate changes in demand, consumption, supply conditions, inventory, and planning assumptions and update long-range requirements accordingly.
• Purchasing Plan & Spend Forecasting: Develop, maintain, and manage the purchasing plan for raw materials and purchased components required to support forecasted demand and operational requirements.
• Calculate and maintain projected raw material and component spend to support annual budgets, financial planning, forecasting, and management decision-making.
• Analyze planned purchasing requirements, inventory positions, demand trends, lead times, and expected consumption to identify anticipated purchasing needs and spending requirements.
• Work closely with Procurement to communicate purchasing requirements, align purchase activity with the approved purchasing plan, and monitor execution against plan.
• Track actual and projected purchasing activity against planned requirements and spend, identify significant variances, and coordinate actions necessary to maintain alignment with changing business conditions.
• Proactively identify purchasing, supply, inventory, or execution risks that could impact the plan and work cross-functionally to develop and implement appropriate corrective actions.
• Supply Planning: Develop, maintain, and execute supply plans for raw…
