About this role

Hi,

 

Please find JD.

 

Constraint & Delivery Manager 

Time Horizon 

0 – 30 days 

 

PURPOSE  Own plant-level supply constraint identification and delivery performance. First-line resolver of supply disruptions — acting before the production scheduler knows there is a problem. No line stops, no surprises, no excuses. 
REPORTS TO  Regional Procurement Lead — solid line 

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 

 

Key Responsibilities 
  • Identify and escalate supply constraints daily; own plant-level constraint register 
  • Manage supplier delivery performance at plant level; drive root cause analysis on failures 
  • Mitigate line-down risk: coordinate emergency supply actions before impact on production 
  • Expedite critical materials; escalate commercial leverage requirements to RCM after exhausting first-line options 
  • Coordinate cross-functionally with production planning; maintain aligned constraint and delivery horizon 
  • Execute root cause analysis on delivery failures; track corrective actions through to closure 
  • Support inventory optimisation: flag excess and shortfall positions to planning team 
  • Participate in Category Team as extended member; surface recurring supplier delivery issues to GCM/RCM 

 

Escalation Path: Product & project issues → Procurement Product Line Management structure  |  Category & supplier issues → Category Management structure 

 

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS 

 

KPI  2026 Benchmark / Target 
Line-Down Incidents  Zero procurement-attributable line stops (Deloitte 2025: best-in-class = zero tolerance policy) 
Supplier On Time Delivery  Requested Delivery Failure Rate <5%; Promised Delivery Failure Rate <2% 
Constraint Resolution Cycle Time  ≤72 hrs from identification to resolution plan for Critical-category constraints 
Expediting Cost  <0.5% of managed spend attributed to emergency/expedited freight and premiums 
Past-Due PO Reduction Rate  10% QoQ reduction in past-due purchase order backlog at plant level 
Production Schedule Adherence  ≥98% of production schedules met — procurement-attributable shortfalls <2% 

 

GOVERNANCE CADENCE 

 

Forum  Frequency  Focus 
Plant Supply Chain & Delivery Review  Daily / Weekly  Constraint identification; line-down risk; expedite actions; Tier 1–4 plant cadence 
Category Team (Extended)  Per Global Category Council  Recurring supplier delivery issues surfaced to GCM/RCM for commercial action 
Production Planning Alignment  Daily  Constraint horizon update; inventory position; schedule risk flags 
RCM Escalation  As required  Commercial escalation for expediting after first-line options exhausted
