Deployment Planner

Deployment Planner – Clorox

Deployment Planners play a key role in driving business results: product availability, customer service and transportation costs. The role owns responsibility for ensuring appropriate supply of inventory across the network. Inventory Deployment Administrators use systems and resources to manage the deployment of product from source location to shipping locations, considering demand, current inventory, inventory targets, customer service objectives and costs. They scrutinize planning system output and make decisions that optimize business trade‑offs.
