  • Raise schedule constraints (container, machine capability, mold, etc.)
  • SPS and Balance Teams member

Production Inspector

  • Monitor aggregate subproduct inventories, plans & attainments
  • Organize CTO daily attainment meetings across production, technology, maintenance & quality
  • Report unreasonable situations at weekly plant follow-up & daily asakai meetings
  • Trigger crisis meetings & align CTO
  • Monthly attainment report

Production Planner

  • Prepare production plans for mixer, stock prep, extruder, TAM & curing
  • Daily subproduct inventories
  • Report daily machine-based plan delay reasons
  • Purchase local curing bladder
  • Prepare SAP business card

Orchestra Member

  • Control code-based plan-attainments
  • Trigger production & planners for code-based quantities and deadlines
  • Prepare monthly curing plan for SPS, MRP, etc.

The Role

A Production Planning Engineer wears multiple hats — part inspector, part data scientist, part digital transformation lead.

Department Core Roles

What I’ve Built

Since joining Production Planning, I’ve automated core workflows and launched digitalization initiatives — here’s what’s been delivered so far.

🔧 Automation of Standard Tasks

Monthly Attainment Report

Transformed a time-consuming, error-prone manual report into an Oracle-driven automated process — delivering faster, more accurate monthly production performance summaries with minimal human intervention.

Ticket Tonnage Calculations

Automated tonnage calculations that previously required extensive manual effort — enabling rapid, error-free outputs and reducing dependency on any single role.

KPI Entry Tasks

Streamlined KPI data entry across ABM, CTO, CFO, and SO&P Orchestra workflows — replacing repetitive manual inputs with Oracle-based automation to eliminate human error.

🚀 Digitalization Initiatives

Monthly → Daily Ticket Planning

Shifted ticket planning from a monthly cycle to a daily cadence using Oracle — introducing a live KPI Dashboard and 2C view that removed manual tracking and reduced curing planner dependency.

Extruder Lot Size Planning

Optimized extruder lot sizing by leveraging Icron for longer production runs — reducing work area disruptions and enabling rapid schedule updates through Oracle.

Production Planning PowerBI Portfolio

Built a PowerBI portfolio featuring Plan-Attainment Monitor and Monthly Lot Size & Mix dashboards — giving decision-makers real-time visibility into production performance.

What I Do Now

Current projects in progress — building the data infrastructure and analytical backbone of the department.

Oracle Data Catalog

Providing a centralized data catalog through Oracle — an evolving knowledge base that documents every query, table, and logic used by the Production Planning team.

Automatic Stock History & Dashboard

Automating stock history tracking and building live dashboards to give planners real-time visibility into subproduct inventories without manual data collection.

Mold Inventory & Utilization Analysis

Analyzing mold inventory utilization to improve scheduling accuracy, reduce idle mold time, and highlight investment needs.

Where I’m Heading

The future isn’t just planned — it’s engineered. These are the pillars of the roadmap ahead.

Import & Local Curing / Former Bladder MRP

Building an automated MRP flow for both imported and locally sourced curing & former bladders — shifting from reactive procurement to proactive, data-driven replenishment.

Data Governance of Brisa Production

Establishing a robust Oracle-based data governance framework — ensuring consistency, accuracy, and ownership across every production data touchpoint.

Production Control Center

The grand vision: a unified nerve center where PowerBI, Oracle, and shopfloor data converge — enabling traceability, transparency, and real-time action triggers.

Production Control Center

The Ultimate Destination

A centralized, intelligent hub that transforms raw shop-floor signals into actionable insights — replacing fragmented reports with a living, breathing digital twin of production.

Integration

PowerBI + Oracle + Shopfloor systems unified in a single pane of glass for end-to-end visibility.

Traceability & Transparency

Every production event traced, every deviation visible — full accountability from plan to product.

AI-Powered Monitoring

An AI agent that watches, detects anomalies, and triggers actions before problems become crises.
