Case · Planning & resilience

Maintaining service and decision quality through disruption.

Zaragoza planning went through COVID under high demand, supply and capacity uncertainty while the business continued to grow.

Context

The priority was to sustain service and production without turning every constraint into permanent firefighting. That required frequent replanning while preserving a structured view of capacity, materials and priorities.

Responsibility

  • Lead a team of approximately 30 people.
  • Coordinate production planning, MRP/MPS, forecasting, capacity and service under high uncertainty.
