About the role
A supply chain planning manager connects demand, inventory, capacity and supplier constraints into an executable plan. The panel will assess your analytical discipline, inventory judgement and ability to make assumptions and trade-offs visible across commercial, finance and operations teams.
How to prepare
- Review how you translate a demand forecast into supply, capacity and inventory requirements.
- Prepare a planning example where you balanced service risk against excess or ageing inventory.
- Be ready to explain forecast bias, error, exception management and the effect of poor master data.
- Practise presenting a constrained plan with clear options, owners and consequences.
Common mistakes
- Treating the forecast as a fixed promise rather than an assumption that needs regular challenge.
- Discussing total stock without separating shortages, excess, ageing and unavailable inventory.
- Using complex planning language without explaining the decision that the analysis supports.
