4. Coordinate and validate buyer demand with available capacity to maximize utilization and minimize idle time or bottlenecks.

5. Collaborate and synchronize with merchandising, production, and quality teams to ensure planned orders are executable and aligned with buyer expectations.

6. Track and report on production progress against plans to enable management visibility and proactive decision-making.

7. Anticipate and resolve planning conflicts, capacity mismatches, or delays to safeguard on-time delivery performance and protect buyer relationships.

8. Support and guide planning teams in each factory to build capability, maintain accuracy, and strengthen the overall planning discipline.

9. Ensure compliance with corporate policies, buyer requirements, and operational standards to maintain credibility with international customers and support long-term business growth.
