MRP and Inventory Planner

Responsibilities / Tasks

We’re on a mission to keep production flowing seamlessly - no delays, no bottlenecks, no waste. Our team ensures that every product we make is delivered on time, in full, and to the highest quality. We believe in precision, collaboration, and continuous improvement, and we know that the right planning is the heartbeat of operational success- and SAP is at the heart of how we plan, track, and deliver.

The Impact You'll Make

As our MRP & Inventory Planner, you’ll be the operational nerve centre between demand, supply, customer services and production. You’ll harness the full power of SAP’s MRP and inventory management modules - and ensure our master data is accurate, consistent, and optimised - to guarantee materials arrive exactly when they’re needed. Your work will directly influence our ability to meet deadlines, control costs, and maintain world-class service levels.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and maintain the SAP MRP process - from master data accuracy to running MRP simulations and executing planning runs.

• Ensure all material master records, BOMs (Bills of Materials), and work centre data are accurate, complete, and up to date in SAP.

• Analyse SAP-generated demand and supply proposals, adjusting plans to align with production schedules and lead times.

• Monitor inventory levels in SAP daily, identifying risks of shortages or overstock and taking proactive action.

• Collaborate with procurement to convert planned orders into purchase orders and track supplier confirmations in SAP.

• Work closely with production teams to align material availability with manufacturing schedules.

• Use SAP reporting tools (e.g., MD04, MB52, ME2N) to generate actionable insights for stakeholders.

• Optimise SAP parameters (lot sizes, safety stock, reorder points) to improve planning accuracy and reduce waste.

• Support continuous improvement initiatives, including data governance and master data quality projects.

Your Profile / Qualifications

• Proven experience in MRP and inventory planning within a manufacturing environment.
• Advanced SAP skills - hands-on experience with SAP MM (Materials Management) and PP (Production Planning) modules is essential.

• Strong understanding of SAP transactions for MRP (MD01, MD02, MD04), inventory analysis, and purchase order tracking.

• Solid knowledge of Master Data Management - including material master, vendor master, BOMs, and routing data.

• Excellent analytical skills with the ability to interpret SAP data and make informed decisions.

• A proactive, problem-solving mindset with a focus on accuracy and efficiency.

• Strong communication skills to work effectively across procurement, production, and supply chain teams.

• Knowledge of lean manufacturing and supply chain best practices is a plus.
