Production & Supply Chain Planner

Mallows Bottling is looking for an experienced Production & Supply Chain Planner to take ownership of production scheduling, demand planning, and the day-to-day supply chain actions required to keep our manufacturing operation running effectively.

Based at our manufacturing facility in South Wales, we operate multiple production lines across alcohol and soft drinks, working with a wide range of brands, products, packaging formats, and suppliers.

This is a hands-on role. We are looking for someone who can take customer demand and forecasts, turn these into an achievable production plan, identify the materials required to deliver it, and then take the necessary actions to make sure everything is in place.

The Role

• Creating and maintaining the production schedule across multiple production lines
• Translating customer orders and forecasts into production and material requirements
• Managing short, medium, and longer-term demand planning
• Ensuring bottles, closures, labels, cartons, ingredients, and other materials are available when required
• Raising and managing purchasing requirements and working with suppliers to secure deliveries
• Identifying material shortages, capacity constraints, and supply risks before they impact production
• Taking corrective action where materials, demand, or production plans change
• Maintaining appropriate stock levels while avoiding unnecessary inventory
• Reviewing slow-moving, excess, and obsolete stock and driving actions to reduce it
• Working closely with Production, Customer Service, Procurement, NPD, and Finance
• Providing clear visibility of the production plan, material availability, and key risks to the wider business
• Continuously improving planning processes, systems, and ways of working
