Moving from procurement to supply planning in Hong Kong
Connect supplier and order experience to forecasting and inventory planning.
Map responsibilities
Supplier lead times and order management transfer from procurement. Planning roles may also require forecasting, inventory analysis and cross-functional scheduling. Compare each vacancy requirement.
Prepare a data example
Explain a delivery-risk or replenishment example, the information used, assumptions and outcome. If you lack forecasting experience, show a practice exercise and identify it as such.
Practise demand and inventory analysis
Use public or self-created data to build a simple forecast with assumptions, replenishment lead times and stockout risks. Identify information still requiring verification and distinguish estimates from results.
