Supply Planners work for businesses in all types of industries, including manufacturing, retail and pharmaceutical companies. Their goal is to maintain efficient supply chain operations by having the right amount of inventory on hand. Their predictions help the company avoid having too little inventory, which causes shortages, and too much inventory, which can result in a lack of space or tie up too much money. They crunch numbers, monitor inventory and make predictions to determine how much stock to have on hand, which can fluctuate frequently due to changes in demand.
