What Success Looks Like Within the first six months, the successful hire will have designed the SIOP framework, launched the initial planning cadence across both facilities, and established baseline performance metrics. Over the following year, the goal is to establish a consistent monthly SIOP cycle with strong participation from site and executive leadership, improved visibility into demand and capacity, measurable planning KPIs, and clear ownership across functions. This is an opportunity for an experienced planning leader to build the function rather than inherit it and create the operating process that connects two manufacturing sites around one reliable plan.
