What does a supply chain planner do?
Supply chain planners execute various tasks, including overseeing product acquisition and allocating supplies, managing business systems, and strategizing ways to contain costs. What a supply chain planner does largely depends on how a company divvies up the roles and responsibilities among its logistics team. Other team members might include:
Senior demand planner
Demand planning manager
Distribution manager
Logistics analyst
In some cases, members of the logistics team may even report directly to you.
No matter how the company sets up its team, your job as a supply chain planner is to ensure that the organization has the supplies it needs when it needs them so it can produce and sell products to customers. You might do this by forecasting sales, tracking performance, and keeping up with global trends and demand to create a strategic plan ultimately. Doing this helps the company's operations run more efficiently, often saving the organization money and helping it stay ahead of the competition.
