Responsible to drive the overall planning and scheduling activities of the poultry processing plant production hence optimizing orders fulfilment, materials movement, on-time delivery according to demand and quality standards which are aligned with the company’s strategies.

• Strategize and direct the overall master planning of production activities considering capacity constraints such as equipment, manpower, raw materials, ingredients, consumables, crates, etc to meet sales forecast and/or customers’ orders while meeting standards of safety and quality.
• Ensure production will optimise orders fulfilment and on-time delivery in accordance to sales forecasts or customer orders whilst minimize the imbalance parts working in collaboration with sales and demand planner.  Identify challenges and opportunities, perform root cause analysis on variances and recommend the action plans accordingly.
• Monitor the business market demands and orchestrate the plant production while taking into consideration the upstream supply from the broiler farm which includes (but not limited to) managing birds’ allocation to production lines by utilizing bird size bell curve, broilers’ scratches, Coefficient of Variance (CV), harvesting and logistics, which all will have impacts on the quality of the poultry products.
• Collaborate with Production Manager to drive optimal Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in the plant to ensure equipment is availability for production and timely completion of preventive maintenance, through close coordination with Engineers from P1 to P8.
• Develop good liaison with FP&A team for cost-effective evaluations, Marketing for effective inventory management and profit optimization on production output (product/SKU mix) and HR on Learning and Growth.

• Manage the entire production scheduling at the plant encompassing optimal workforce utilisation taking into consideration the cost benefit of overtime cost against the production targets that has been set.
• Continuously review, monitor & analyse customer requirement, supplier performance, planning and actual production in order to achieve customer’s satisfaction.
• Optimize production planning and control with up-to-date information on demand variation affecting raw material requirements which ultimately affecting production planning and overall operation.
• Continuously drive improvements and operational excellence in the plant production planning to achieve a lean, streamlined and effective value chain hence optimising profitability.
• To perform any other tasks and assignments as directed by the management from time to time.
