Key Responsibilities
- Lead and supervise the Pelzer Production Planning team and daily planning activities.
- Own the WON process, including WON creation, release, maintenance, closure, and overall governance.
- Develop and maintain WON reporting, providing visibility to open, released, completed, past-due, and at-risk WONs.
- Ensure WONs are correctly aligned to Sales Orders, BOMs, routings, quantities, and required production dates.

- Maintain visibility of upcoming demand and ensure WONs are created sufficiently ahead of production requirements.
- Lead daily/weekly planning reviews with Production and Materials leadership.
- Establish and maintain planning KPIs, including WON readiness, schedule attainment, past-due WONs, production plan adherence, and demand coverage.
- Escalate capacity, material, engineering, or system constraints that put customer commitments or revenue at risk.
