Position Summary

The Senior Analyst, Supply Chain Planning manages capacity, material, and inventory planning across fab operations, internal factories, and contract manufacturing partners. This role develops coordinated supply plans that connect wafer fabrication, downstream manufacturing, and outsourced production to support customer commitments and operational objectives.

Working with Procurement, Fab and Factory Operations, Engineering, Logistics, and contract manufacturers, the analyst identifies supply constraints, ensures material readiness, and balances production capacity, inventory, lead times, and cost.

Key Responsibilities

Fab, Factory, and Contract Manufacturing Planning

·         Develop and maintain integrated supply plans across fabs, internal factories, and contract manufacturers, aligning production starts, output, and material transfers.

·         Translate supply requirements into executable production and replenishment plans that reflect capacity, cycle times, yields, and material availability.

·         Coordinate wafer starts, work-in-process movement, and downstream material requirements to maintain continuity across manufacturing stages.

·         Align contract manufacturing production schedules, material commitments, and delivery plans with internal supply priorities.

·         Lead supply reviews with internal operations and contract manufacturers to resolve constraints, track commitments, and drive recovery actions.

·         Support production ramps, new product introductions, engineering changes, and transfers between manufacturing locations.

Capacity Planning

·         Evaluate capacity across fab processes, factory production lines, and contract manufacturing operations, including critical equipment, labor, tooling, and test resources.

·         Identify bottlenecks and assess their impact on throughput, production schedules, and delivery commitments.

·         Develop capacity scenarios incorporating product mix, yield, cycle time, equipment availability, and production priorities.

·         Recommend actions such as load balancing, alternate routings, production transfers, and capacity expansion.

·         Track capacity utilization and output against plan, escalating gaps with clear mitigation options.

Material Planning

·         Develop time-phased material plans across internal and outsourced manufacturing locations using MRP and other planning tools.

·         Monitor raw materials, wafers, components, and subassemblies to identify shortages and protect production continuity.

·         Partner with Procurement and contract manufacturers to align purchase orders, supplier commitments, and delivery schedules with production needs.

·         Manage visibility into company-owned and consigned materials at contract manufacturing sites, including availability, consumption, and reconciliation.

·         Maintain planning parameters, including lead times, lot sizes, safety stock, and replenishment settings.

·         Coordinate material readiness and disposition during engineering changes, product transitions, and end-of-life activities.

Inventory Planning

·         Establish and monitor inventory targets for raw materials, work in process, and finished goods across fabs, factories, and contract manufacturing sites.

·         Analyze inventory coverage, aging, turns, and excess and obsolete exposure; drive corrective actions with accountable teams.

·         Evaluate buffer placement between manufacturing stages to address supply variability and protect downstream operations.

·         Identify opportunities to rebalance inventory, adjust production starts, and reschedule material commitments.

·         Partner with Operations and Finance to track inventory ownership, liabilities, and reduction initiatives across the manufacturing network.

Supply Chain Analysis and Improvement

·         Build reporting that connects capacity, material readiness, work-in-process status, inventory health, and delivery performance.

·         Investigate supply plan deviations and recurring shortages, identifying root causes and driving sustainable improvements.

·         Improve planning data accuracy, system usage, and coordination between internal sites and contract manufacturers.

·         Present recommendations that clearly explain capacity, service, inventory, lead-time, and cost tradeoffs.

Required Qualifications

·         Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations Management, Industrial Engineering, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

·         Four or more years of experience in supply chain, production, materials, or capacity planning within a manufacturing environment.

·         Experience supporting fab or semiconductor manufacturing operations, factory planning, and/or contract manufacturing supply chains.

·         Strong understanding of MRP, bills of materials, manufacturing routings, capacity constraints, cycle times, yields, and inventory management.

·         Experience coordinating supply plans across multiple manufacturing stages or locations.

·         Advanced Excel skills and hands-on experience with ERP or supply chain planning systems.

·         Strong analytical, communication, and cross-functional problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

·         Experience planning across wafer fabrication, downstream assembly and test, and contract manufacturing.

·         Familiarity with outsourced manufacturing models, consigned inventory, and material liability management.

·         Experience with SAP, Oracle, Kinaxis, Blue Yonder, or comparable platforms.

·         Experience with SQL, Power BI, Tableau, or other analytical tools.

·         ASCM CPIM or CSCP certification.

Measures of Success

·         Improved supply plan attainment and on-time delivery across fabs, factories, and contract manufacturers.

·         Timely resolution of capacity bottlenecks and material shortages.

·         Improved work-in-process flow and manufacturing cycle times.

·         Inventory performance aligned with service and working capital objectives.

·         Reduced expedite costs and excess and obsolete inventory exposure.

·         Accurate planning data and reliable execution of supply commitments.
