Job Description: 

The Director of Central Supply Chain Planning leads the end-to-end planning function across the semiconductor manufacturing network. You will drive a weekly process that integrate front-end wafer fabrication, advanced packaging, back-end assembly/test, and finished good supply. This role is accountable for delivering a single, aligned plan that optimizes supply, cycle time, and constrained capacity while balancing customer commitments.

Operating as a peer to Fab Planning and Back-End Planning leaders, you will lead a team of experts in planning and leverage technology to rapidly respond to customer changes. You will bring a passion for continually improving and driving KPIs including delivery performance, factory utilization and profitability. This includes driving cross-stage synchronization, scenario-based decision making, and system enabled planning transformation leveraging Blue Yonder.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End Supply Planning Leadership
  • Own the integrated supply plan across wafer fab, bump, sort, wafer level assembly, and assembly test.
  • Align demand, supply, and inventory strategies to meet customer commit dates and revenue targets.
  • Drive trade-off decisions across stages 
  • Establish planning policies across the network.
• Capacity & Constraint Management
  • Model and optimize constrained resources across the network.
  • Quantify trade-offs (e.g., impact of non-value-added WIP on bottleneck tools).
  • Drive prioritization frameworks for high-value products under constraint.
  • Lead scenario analysis for capacity expansions, mix changes, and disruptions.
• Cross-Stage Orchestration
  • Partner closely with:
    • Fab Planning (front-end capacity and wafer starts)
    • Advanced Packaging Planning (bump, sort, and wafer level assembly)
    • Back-End Planning (assembly and test)
    • Customer Order Management
  • Ensure alignment between commit plans and actual execution
• Performance Management & KPIs
  • Define and manage end to end planning KPIs, including:
    • On time delivery
    • Total cycle time
    • Inventory turns / WIP levels
• System & Planning Transformation with Blue Yonder
  • Own design, deployment, and continuous improvement of planning processes within Blue Yonder.
  • Drive adoption of advanced capabilities:
    • Constraint-based planning
    • Allocation and prioritization logic
    • Scenario planning and simulations
  • Translate business rules into system parameters (lead times, yields, batching, pegging logic).
  • Partner with IT and digital teams on roadmap and enhancements.
• Team Leadership & Organizational Design
  • Build and lead a high-performing central planning team.
  • Define roles across end to end planners, scenario analysts, and system experts.
  • Develop talent with deep semiconductor and advanced planning expertise.
  • Foster a data-driven, decision-oriented culture.
