Key Responsibility

Order & Customer Commitment
    Provide commit delivery dates for every customer order (Order promising / ATP).
    Track and improve CLIP/Customer Line Item Performance for all customers.
    Manage re-commits when customer requests change (product change, hold, release, expedite, slow-down).
    Coordinate with Customer Ops for WIP visibility, priority lots, and shipment planning.

Daily Wafer Start & Production Scheduling
    Prepare daily wafer start plan across technology nodes and products.
    Execute wafer start for each order/production lot based on capacity and loading targets.
    Drive start stability, weekly loading adherence, and cycle time compliance.
    Align with diffusion, litho, etch, CMP, implant, and backend modules for capacity feasibility.

WIP Control & Lot Handling
    Manage daily fab WIP: status, aging, bank, bottlenecks, special lots.
    Handle Lot Handling Requests (LHN)—change product, hold, release, split/merge, expedite, slow-down.
    Monitor and maintain TTL WIP, remaining input quantities, WAT/WH/Bank levels.
    Control key lots, SHL lots, Customer Pull-in/Pull-out lots, and special event lots.

Production Plan, Projection & Assumptions
    Prepare weekly and monthly production/output projections.
    Identify and monitor key planning assumptions:
    Cycle time per route
    Module capacities
    Bottleneck health
    Tool availability
    Product mix impact
    Manage Consensus Demand vs Plan vs Execution alignment.

System & Process Ownership
    Drive PP modules in the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Planning System:
    Order management
    Reserve/Commit/Recommit logic
    WIP tracking & forecast
    Plan-group settings
    Daily plan creation & overrides
    Own PP procedures, SOPs, and internal controls.
    Support digital transformation, automation, and data integrity for planning.

Cross Functional Collaboration
    Work closely with:
    Planning & Logistics
    Module Engineering
    Manufacturing Operations
    Customer Operations
    Quality/PIE
    Supply Chain (Materials/Stores)

Provide daily plan, recovery actions, and output risk visibility to stakeholders.

Additional Technical Requirements

Technical Skills
    Strong understanding of semiconductor manufacturing flow, routing, and WIP behaviour.
    Expertise in:
    Wafer start scheduling
    WIP management and dispatching
    CT modelling and bottleneck control
    Output projection logic
    Order management and ATP/CTP concepts
    Familiar with MES, ERP, MPS/MRP, and planning dashboards.
    Ability to interpret fab data, constraints, and convert into executable plan.

Analytical Skills
    Excellent quantitative and problem solving abilities.
    Ability to forecast output under variability.
        Data driven decision-making using dashboards, SQL, Excel, Python

Qualification

    Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering (Electronics, Mechanical, Industrial, Production, Semiconductor, or similar).

Experience

    5–12 years experience in Production Planning within semiconductor fabs, display fabs, or complex high mix manufacturing preferred.
    Experience in Planning, WIP Control, Order Management, or Fab Operations highly desirable.
    Previous Foundry experience with TSMC, GlobalFoundries, UMC, PSMC, Micron, Samsung, Intel, is an advantage.
