Purpose:

• To drive assignments in end-to-end optimization. ​
• To evaluate, challenge and develop existing methods and standards in the end-to-end supply chain optimization work.​
• To coordinate, support and follow up on preparation and implementation of logistics sourcing projects.​
• To support development projects in the area of logistics.​
• To coordinate and drive optimization forum, focusing on external logistics in collaboration with plant logistics.​

Responsibilities

​Optimization:

• Manage and lead Optimization forum with plant logistics​
• Identify optimization opportunities in the external transport network taking the end-to-end supply chain into account (holistic view).​
• Escalate to and collaborate with Transport design responsible in order not to sub optimized the transport network. ​
• Challenge existing methods internally as well as externally to be able to lower the logistics cost, Leadtime and/decrease the Co2 impact from transports
• Implement new or changed transport setup from single cases to bigger scopes.

• Develop new as well as existing methods and standards how to optimize the transport network:
  • Explore new supply chain trends and implement
  • Evaluate and challenge the current methods and standard how to optimize the transport network.​
  • Develop new standards how to optimize the transport network​
  • Work agile, meaning; interact with colleagues to find continuous improvements on the of way of working and listen to the users and stakeholders. ​
  • Collaborate with system experts to create knowledge and find methods that are feasible also in the digital landscape.​

• Coordinate sourcing project preparation and implementation with the transport design responsible:
  • Secure handover to Logistics purchasing of transport relations for all contracts part of the sourcing project.​
  • Secure transport manual creating if needed​
  • Set communication plan including what to communicate and to who. Execute communication needed.​
  • System compliance check and maintenance process for new relations to be agreed.​
  • Define risk and mitigation plan​
  • Secure needed IT test before go-live.​
  • Follow up on implementation activities needed to implement changes in logistics systems.​
  • Plan and drive pulse meetings after go-live.​

• Drive assignments/smaller projects in the area of end-to-end optimization.​
• Support development projects with your end-to-end logistics knowledge.​
• Digitalise the activities to gain efficiencies
