  • Technology and Systems Integration of ERP and Planning Systems: Implement and manage ERP utilization and production planning systems to enable real-time data sharing and decision-making across global sites.
  • Automation and Innovation: Leverage new technologies such as IoT, AI, and automation to enhance production efficiency and data accuracy.
  • Performance Monitoring: Track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as production efficiency, order fulfilment rates, and inventory turnover. Identify areas for improvement and implement corrective actions as needed.
  • Risk Management: Identify potential hazards to production capacity and develop contingency plans. Mitigate risks related to production capacity, such as equipment failures or supply shortages.
  • Continuous Improvement: Implement best practices in production planning and supply chain management. Drive initiatives to improve production processes, reduce costs, and enhance overall efficiency.
Requirements:
  • A minimum of 5 years' professional experience in roles related to production planning, manufacturing, supply chain management, or operations management, preferably in a global context.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, capable of identifying issues in complex environments and developing practical solutions in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong communication and coordination skills, with the ability to communicate and coordinate plans and changes effectively across various teams, hierarchical levels, and cultural differences.
  • Technical proficiency with ERP systems, advanced planning tools, and other relevant technologies.
  • Project management skills, proficient in managing multiple projects and coordinating activities across different departments.
  • A high level of business acumen and customer centricity.

Language Skills:
  • Mandatory: Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
  • Desirable: Fluency in Swiss German or Mandarin.
What We Offer:
  • A dynamic company culture focused on customers, ethics, simplicity, learning, and teamwork.
  • A multicultural team and modern working environment with state-of-the-art facilities and technologies.
  • Challenging assignments in a fast-growing and innovative industry.
  • Various opportunities for personal and professional development within a global organization.
  • Flexible hours and a hybrid working policy.
