• A supply chain planner is responsible for ensuring that a company receives the materials or supplies they need quickly, efficiently, and within budget.
• To do this, they must monitor the company's inventories and track the performance of current supply methods.
• Then, the supply chain planners try to find ways to improve that process.
• Depending on their industry, the supply chain planner may suggest moving warehouses, changing suppliers, or switching transportation methods. In the event of a supply emergency (such as a sudden increase in demand or a shortage of materials), the supply chain planner must also determine how to get new supplies in time to meet deadlines.

• Two to five years of experience working in the supply chain field is often required.
• Some companies may require certifications in operator or vendor management, such as the APICS Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) or the APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP).

• A bachelor's degree is usually required.
• Companies typically prefer degrees in supply chain, business, operations, or a related field.
• A master's degree in business administration may be helpful, especially if the applicant hopes to rise to a senior level in the company.
