@anandbrahme
S&OP and IBP leader driving growth, margin, and service through demand planning.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Supply Chain and Business Planning leader with deep expertise in Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP), Integrated Business Planning (IBP), Demand Planning, Supply Planning, and end-to-end supply chain operations across global manufacturing organizations. I consistently align commercial strategy, planning excellence, and operational execution to drive profitable growth, margin expansion, service improvements, and working capital optimization.
At Owens Corning, I led a transformation of demand planning, S&OP, and supply chain process/technology for a global business unit—enabling more than 30% sales growth and $200M+ in margin enhancement. I designed and implemented S&OP and IBP processes resulting in $100M inventory reduction while improving on-time delivery by 5%, and I improved inventory quality mix by 50% using data governance and process excellence. I also optimized supply flows through trade compliance expertise to deliver $2M cost savings.
I’ve directed global planning for a $1.5B+ business unit, overseeing activities across 14 manufacturing facilities, 5 distribution centers, and 25,000+ SKUs across North America, Europe, and Asia, and I’ve built strong teams (11 employees, including 5 direct reports) through continuous improvement and leadership development. Earlier, I integrated business processes and SAP for a $100M business, improved customer satisfaction via S&OP and S&OE process transformation (Net Promoter Score of 62) with 50% volume growth in 3 years, and strengthened forecast accuracy and delivery performance.
