Supply Chain Process Analyst

Kinaxis Business Process ​AnalystOverview ​/​ PurposeThis role focuses on the functional and process side of Kinaxis implementations — analyzing existing supply-chain processes (demand planning, supply planning, forecasting, S&OP, inventory, replenishment, etc.), defining requirements, ensuring business readiness, performing testing, and supporting configuration or functional consulting.

A Business Process ​/​ Planning Business Analyst ensures the solution fits real business needs, drives adoption, and realizes value by translating between business and technical worlds.Please get in touch with us on info@projectbrains.io
