The resource will be responsible for the integrated planning of production and the replenishment of raw materials and packaging materials, ensuring the efficiency of factory flows and compliance with the strict regulatory standards of the pharmaceutical sector (GMP/cGMP).

The main objective of the position is to balance material availability and production capacity to maximize customer service, contain stock costs, and ensure continuous supply to the lines.

• Monitor supply lead times and the service quality of packaging and raw material suppliers.
• Periodically check inventory levels, identifying slow-moving or expiring materials (shelf-life / expiry date management) to limit waste in compliance with GMP rules.

Position Objectives:

• Improvement of OTIF (On-Time In-Full): Increase the accuracy and punctuality of deliveries to the final customer or distribution network.
• Optimization of Rotations: Reduce the material rotation index and minimize inventory holding costs through targeted management of stock levels (Safety Stock, Reorder Point).
