Logistics Planner (human)

Your mission & challenges

In our logistics department, it’s not just about moving materials from A to B. We are building a smart factory in a fast-growing robotics environment – transitioning from a start-up to a scale-up.

To make this work, we need you as a Logistics Planner (Human) who has full control over material flows while also structuring, questioning, and continuously improving our processes.

You are the central interface between:

• Sales

• Production Planning / Manufacturing

• Procurement & Suppliers

• Warehouse / Raw Material Logistics

Your Main Responsibilities:

• You take responsibility for material and raw material planning for defined product areas and ensure timely supply to production.

• You plan and manage inventory levels and material requirements based on forecasts, customer orders, and production plans.

• You work closely with production planning to align material availability with production capacity.

• You act as the main point of contact for Sales regarding delivery dates, availability, and feasibility.

• In coordination with Procurement, you define order quantities, call-offs, and priorities – especially for critical materials.

• You identify bottlenecks and material shortages early, initiate countermeasures, and coordinate rescheduling, prioritization, and special actions.

• You maintain and optimize planning and scheduling parameters (e.g., lot sizes, minimum stock levels, safety stock) in the ERP/planning system.

• Together with the team, you establish clear processes, interfaces, and responsibilities in logistics and material planning – and document them in a practical way.

• You actively contribute to building our smart factory: digitalization, transparency in material flows, standards, and KPIs.

• You support operational execution, e.g., creating/updating planned orders, purchase requisitions, and clarifying deviations with warehouse, procurement, and production.
