Supply Chain Planner - Angus

Supply Chain Planner jobs

No matter which sector a company operates in, the supply chain planner plays an important part in the commercial success of the organisation.

After all, this person is responsible for ensuring the businesses products and services are planned accordingly and that inventory is kept to a satisfactory level.

Tasks generally include supply and, in some cases, demand planning, as well as communicating with colleagues, stakeholders, clients and staff to keep business operations running smoothly.

Depending on the particular role and specific employer, other responsibilities include producing reports and analysing key performance indicators.

You may also be liable for maintaining accurate inventories and taking steps to resolve any problems - such as overstocks, slow moving products or short supplies.

The skills required

Anyone seeking a position as a supply chain planner should have excellent planning and logistical skills.

Good written and verbal skills are a must and you should be able to communicate clearly with members of your team, colleagues, heads of other departments and directors, as well as customers and suppliers.

You should be confident in your decision making and constantly seeking ways to improve on existing systems and practices.

In addition, applicants to supply chain planner roles will need to be computer literate, with knowledge of the technology and tools used in the role - such as spreadsheets and database software. Good analytic and numerical skills are also essential.

Supply Chain Planner Jobs in Angus

Angus is a sprawling county on the east coast of Scotland, which has traditionally focused mainly on fishing and agriculture for its economy. It borders Aberdeenshire, Dundee City and Perth and Kinross. By far the largest settlement is the town of Arbroath, with a population of about 25,000, about twice the size of the next town. The county town Forfar has a population closer to 10,000, as do Montrose, Monifieth, Carnoustie and Brechin. The A90 and A92 join the county to the rest of eastern Scotland, running from Dundee to Stonehaven and Aberdeen beyond.

Angus is located between two large centres of population, Aberdeen and Dundee, and while these might provide the most fertile ground if you’re looking for Supply Chain Planner positions, there could be some opportunities in the larger towns of the county.
