Buyer Planner, KLA Tencor
Responsibilities
Buyer/Planner 4s are responsible for the movement of materials through the service parts supply chain, from the point of demand to the ultimate destination. Focus will be changing from the tactical planning/order placement duties of a traditional planning and procurement function to that of a systems manager of the supply chain. More focus will shift to the maintenance of the system data integrity and resolution of process exceptions, than simply the volume of orders placed. The successful Buyer/Planner 4 will be flexible enough to modify their approach to how they manage their desk as these changes take place. Additionally, this person will play a key role in the evolution of the changes and be a driver of many of them.
This position will require a strong systems background, and this person must possess a basic knowledge of how relational databases work. This will become more important as the job evolves. A hands-on knowledge of SAP, and the other planning tools used to manage the supply chain, as well as how they interact, is going to become more important over time.
