Develop the master production schedule and detailed production plans for both plants within capacity and GMP constraints. Drive material requirements planning for APIs, excipients and packaging materials, working closely with Procurement. Manage inventory targets, safety stock and shelf-life risk to reduce stock-outs, write-offs and excess stock.
