We are recruiting to fill the position below: Job Title: Supply Planning & DRP Lead Location: Oshodi - Isolo, Lagos Job Purpose The role sits at the intersection of demand, supply, and logistics — translating the agreed S&OP volume plan into executable production and distribution plans across Promasidor's factory network and warehousing footprint. The Supply Planning & DRP Lead is a critical individual contributor role responsible for ensuring that Promasidor's supply plans, production schedules, and distribution requirements: are optimally aligned to meet customer service targets, minimise supply risk, and drive cost efficiency. Key Responsibilities: Production Planning: Manage short-term production trade-offs across SKUs and categories, prioritising based on customer service risk and margin impact. Lead the weekly Supply Planning Meeting — preparing the supply deck, facilitating the discussion, and driving decisions on supply gaps and trade-offs. Translate unconstrained demand forecasts into constrained production plans, factoring in capacity, material availability, and inventory targets. Monitor plan adherence (Production Conformance %) and escalate deviations with proposed corrective actions. Develop and maintain a rolling 13-week master production schedule (MPS) aligned to the agreed S&OP volume plan. Coordinate with Factory Managers and Engineering teams to incorporate planned maintenance, OEE constraints, and changeover requirements: into the production schedule. Capacity Management: Identify capacity bottlenecks and surplus proactively, initiating investment cases or production-shift proposals as required. Flag capacity risks related to new product development (NPD), promotions, and seasonal demand peaks to the broader S&OP team. Evaluate and recommend make-vs-buy or co-manufacturing options where in-house capacity is constrained. Maintain a dynamic capacity model (by line, by factory) covering a 12-month rolling horizon. Provide capacity inputs to the S&OP process for medium- and long-term investment decisions. Collaborate with the Engineering team on OEE improvement initiatives and track the supply impact of capacity projects. Distribution Requirements: Planning (DRP): Set and review stock norms (min/max/safety stock) for each distribution node based on demand variability, lead times, and service-level targets. Monitor and report on days cover, stock-in-trade levels, and depot inventory health across all locations. Own the Distribution Requirements: Planning process — ensuring optimal stock positioning across the depot network and external warehouses to meet OTIF targets. Align distribution plans with the Sales and Commercial teams to support promotional activities, new listings, and key customer commitments. Identify and drive resolution of distribution bottlenecks — including logistics constraints, slow-moving stock (SLOB), and warehouse capacity issues. Coordinate finished goods deployment from factories/primary warehouses to secondary depots and 3PL sites. S&OP Process Contribution: Prepare and present the Supply Planning pack for the monthly S&OP Supply Meeting and DSR (Demand Supply Reconciliation). Ensure all supply-side inputs (constrained plan, capacity profile, supply risks and opportunities) are submitted to the S&OP Manager on time. Support the identification of gap-closure options (supply pull-forward, inter-depot transfers, external procurement) for DSR and ExCo S&OP. Maintain the integrity of supply-side assumptions within the S&OP planning tool or ERP. Data, Systems & Continuous Improvement: Champion data quality and planning discipline within the supply planning team and across supply chain functions. Develop and maintain standard planning templates, dashboards, and KPI reports for supply performance tracking. Identify and implement process improvements to reduce planning cycle times, improve plan accuracy, and minimise waste. Conduct root-cause analysis on supply failures and drive corrective actions to prevent recurrence. Lead or support WMS, ERP, and planning tool implementation/optimisation projects as required. Requirements: Experience: Minimum 2–4 years of progressive experience: in supply planning, production planning, or DRP within an FMCG, manufacturing, or consumer goods environment. Exposure to WMS implementation or optimisation projects is an advantage. Demonstrated experience: managing multi-site or multi-SKU production schedules in a fast-paced environment. Hands-on experience: with DRP, safety stock modelling, and distribution network planning. Experience: with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, or equivalent) and advanced planning tools is required. Active participation in S&OP processes — ideally as a supply-side owner or lead.
