Hi,

 

Please find JD.

 

Constraint & Delivery Manager 

Time Horizon 

0 – 30 days 

 

PURPOSE  Own plant-level supply constraint identification and delivery performance. First-line resolver of supply disruptions — acting before the production scheduler knows there is a problem. No line stops, no surprises, no excuses.  REPORTS TO  Regional Procurement Lead — solid line 

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 

 

Key Responsibilities 

• Identify and escalate supply constraints daily; own plant-level constraint register 

• Manage supplier delivery performance at plant level; drive root cause analysis on failures 

• Mitigate line-down risk: coordinate emergency supply actions before impact on production 

• Expedite critical materials; escalate commercial leverage requirements to RCM after exhausting first-line options 

• Coordinate cross-functionally with production planning; maintain aligned constraint and delivery horizon 

• Execute root cause analysis on delivery failures; track corrective actions through to closure 

• Support inventory optimisation: flag excess and shortfall positions to planning team 

• Participate in Category Team as extended member; surface recurring supplier delivery issues to GCM/RCM 

 

Escalation Path: Product & project issues → Procurement Product Line Management structure  |  Category & supplier issues → Category Management structure 

 

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS 

 

KPI  2026 Benchmark / Target  Line-Down Incidents  Zero procurement-attributable line stops (Deloitte 2025: best-in-class = zero tolerance policy)  Supplier On Time Delivery  Requested Delivery Failure Rate <5%; Promised Delivery Failure Rate <2%  Constraint Resolution Cycle Time  ≤72 hrs from identification to resolution plan for Critical-category constraints  Expediting Cost  <0.5% of managed spend attributed to emergency/expedited freight and premiums  Past-Due PO Reduction Rate  10% QoQ reduction in past-due purchase order backlog at plant level  Production Schedule Adherence  ≥98% of production schedules met — procurement-attributable shortfalls <2%
