Your role

At 2Connect, as a Supply Chain Planner, you play a central role in keeping the supply chain running smoothly and further developing it. You are responsible for the planning and coordination of your own portfolio, and you contribute to improvement projects related to supply chain processes.

You operate at the heart of the chain and communicate daily with clients, production (mainly Romania), procurement, and internal stakeholders. You ensure the availability of materials, align planning, and oversee deliveries according to agreements.

The role is operational in nature but distinctly requires analytical skills and ownership. By working with data, identifying deviations, and recognizing patterns, you actively contribute to process improvement. In practice, this means you not only manage day-to-day operations but also build insight into trends, bottlenecks, and opportunities for structural enhancements.

Your responsibilities

Monitoring material availability (“clear to build”) and timely intervention in case of bottlenecks

Coordinating order books, forecasts, and deliveries with clients and internal stakeholders

Processing and checking planning data in the ERP system (including Exact)

Executing and interpreting MRP planning and translating this into concrete actions

Analyzing delivery, order, and product data to make deviations and trends visible

Using dashboards (for example, in Power BI) to monitor performance and improvement opportunities

Detecting disruptions in the chain and proactively initiating solutions

Contributing to improvement projects, for example, focused on forecasting, inventory optimization, and planning processes

Who are you?

You combine an analytical approach with a practical mindset. You are able to grasp operational issues, but you also look beyond daily execution. By asking questions and spotting connections, you recognize where processes can be improved and take the initiative to set this in motion. You identify with the following profile:

Academic-level working and thinking ability, preferably in supply chain, technical business administration or a similar field

Graduate or a few years’ experience within a supply chain or logistics environment

Affinity with data and the ability to translate analyses into concrete actions; experience with BI or AI tools is an advantage

Structured way of working and the ability to maintain overview in a dynamic context

Strong communication skills and comfortable interacting with various stakeholders, including internationally

Experience with Excel and ERP systems, or the ability to master these quickly

Ownership, initiative, and the drive to improve every day

Jouw rol

Binnen 2Connect vervul je als Supply Chain Planner een centrale rol in het operationeel draaiend houden én verder ontwikkelen van de toeleveringsketen. Je bent verantwoordelijk voor de planning en afstemming voor een eigen portfolio en draagt bij verbeterprojecten op het gebied van supply chain processen.

Door te werken met data, afwijkingen te signaleren en verbanden te leggen, lever je een actieve bijdrage aan procesverbetering. In de praktijk betekent dit dat je niet alleen stuurt op de dag van vandaag, maar ook inzicht opbouwt in trends, bottlenecks en structurele verbeterkansen.

Afstemmen van orderboeken, forecasts en leveringen met klanten en interne stakeholders

Verwerken en controleren van planningsdata in het ERP-systeem (o.a. Exact)

Draaien en interpreteren van MRP-planningen en vertalen naar concrete acties

Analyseren van leverings-, order- en productdata om afwijkingen en trends inzichtelijk te maken

Gebruiken van dashboards (bijvoorbeeld in Power BI) om performance en verbeterkansen te monitoren

Signaleren van verstoringen in de keten en proactief initiëren van oplossingen

Bijdragen aan verbeterprojecten, onder andere gericht op forecasting, voorraadoptimalisatie en planningsprocessen
