WORK HISTORY
Senior Supply Planner - Vaccine Manufacturing @Elanco
Winslow, ME, US
I am a Senior Supply Planner for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (unconcentrated and concentrated antigens), lyophilized vaccines, and emulsified vaccines. In this role, I devise attainable manufacturing schedules and plans, meaningfully contributing to the reliable delivery of vaccines to fulfill market needs and Elanco\'s vision - food and companionship enriching life. • I use SAP APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization), SAP PP/DS (Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling), SAP IM, SAP WM, and SAP MM to analyze demand plans and signals, inventory levels, manufacturing capacity constraints, and raw materials availability to orchestrate a long-term manufacturing plan (3-year horizon), and a detailed shop floor schedule (3-month horizon). I also purchase strategic raw materials, critical to the manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients.• Developed and implemented a safety stock strategy for unconcentrated and concentrated antigens, balancing shortage and obsolescence risks and improving the manufacturing site’s ability to reliably deliver supply.• Designed and began implementing an antigen seed planning framework, reducing highest-risk seed types by 17% within months of plan approval. • Oversaw a 15.15% year-on-year improvement in production schedule shop floor conformance for antigen manufacturing.

ABOUT JORGE A. S.
I am a Supply Chain Management professional with a proven track record of over three years of strong performance in Global Logistics, Demand Planning, Supply Planning, and Master Data within the dynamic Technology and Pharmaceutical industries. My experience extends across borders, having worked in two countries, and two states in the United States.One of my greatest strengths is synthesizing complex, high level information into actionable business solutions - my bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, complemented by my Master of Science Degree in Global Supply Chain Management, position me to integrate the “why” and the “how” of the enterprise – the strategic reasons underpinning the “why” we do what we do, and the “how” we translate high-level strategic roadmaps into executional processes. My unwavering bias for action, innovation, adaptability, cross-functional teamwork and collaboration, and a holistic and analytical approach to problem solving, have enabled me to drive impactful initiatives, including -• Leading a cross-company 6-member team through a Lean Kaizen project, accomplishing a reduction of problematic shipments’ resolution turnaround time by 27%, and a 44% decrease in quality defects.• Developing a Power BI New Product Introduction (NPI) forecast-vs-actuals performance dashboard, which enabled demand planners to realign forecasts proactively, mitigating the risk of excess inventory and shortages.• Engineering an implementation roadmap to improve SAP material master data accuracy and avoid up to $763K in transportation costs.I have been very fortunate to visit countries in four continents and collaborate with team members from diverse backgrounds, which has cemented my appreciation for multicultural environments, where we can draw inspiration from diverging perspectives to achieve superior outcomes. Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy photography, horseback riding, collecting fridge magnets, and reading.
