Purpose:

This position exists to convert original equipment (OE) customer and after-market demand into orders for suppliers of components, both internal and external.  The Sr Supply Assurance Analyst is required to operate with the SAP system and solve relatively complex problems associated with matching supply to demand, achieving customer service, and inventory targets. The position requires that the individual has a working knowledge of SAP, component production, and work with outside vendors. The individual has the expertise to recognize major discrepancies with the system data (supply or demand related) and request and assist with the resolution.

Essential Responsibilities:

• Component Flow and Operational Execution
  • • Manage the flow of components to finished-goods production plants, including ticket creation, exception handling, receiving (including consignment), creating delivery notes and inbound deliveries, and participation in physical inventories.
    • Create purchase orders in SAP and generate open-order and inbound status reports to maintain visibility and control of supply.
• Demand Interpretation and Production Support
  • • Use SAP to review customer demand and translate requirements into appropriate production quantities and locations by understanding supplier operations and plant schedules.
    • Support virtual machine job scheduling, pull required reports, and troubleshoot scheduling or report issues to keep planning and purchasing processes on track.
• Supplier Coordination and Capacity Management
  • • Coordinate with plants, suppliers, and strategic sourcing to review and adjust supplier orders and capacity to meet demand targets.
    • Identify when to request more or less capacity from strategic sourcing and execute necessary adjustments.
• Problem Solving and Supply Assurance
  • • Address supply issues within supplier capacity constraints and work directly with manufacturing facilities, plant schedulers, and suppliers to resolve raw-material/component shortages or disruptions.
    • Provide project support for Supply Assurance by pulling reports, analyzing data, and coordinating implementation efforts across teams, suppliers, and plants.
• Inventory, Service, and Financial Performance
  • • Maintain statistical safety stock levels to mitigate variability and meet service performance metrics (Availability to Request, On-Time Delivery to Promise, Stock-In rate).
    • Drive financial targets for component and raw-material inventory - optimizing inventory investment relative to demand volume while meeting service goals.
• Data and Master Data Management
  • • Manage data quality by reviewing and resolving data errors that affect purchasing targets; train new team members on error maintenance and best practices.
    • Perform master data maintenance and deployment workflows for USSC and USCY (start workflow, create material numbers, maintain BOMs) and other master data changes that affect purchasing at additional plants.
• Reporting, Analysis, and Continuous Improvement
• • • Generate, analyze, and distribute reports to track KPIs (service, inventory, and purchasing performance); recommend corrective actions to balance cost, service, and risk.
    • Lead or support continuous improvement and deployment activities (workflows, data updates, process changes) to improve supply assurance and purchasing accuracy.

Education/Skills:

• Bachelors Degree in Supply Chain, Business Administration or Relative Discipline with 4+ years of experience
• Procurement experience in supply chain within a manufacturing organization
• Knowledge of bearing component production processes
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel
