Supply Chain Forecast Analyst / Ridgefield Park, NJ / Others / Sags7137532

Top Two Skills Listed:

SUMMARY:
The Forecast Analyst will ensure AP1 forecasts are entered and updated for “Other/Regional” Accounts that may otherwise not be fully reviewed by Sales/Sales Ops or SCM. By ensuring AP1 is entered for all accounts, we can ensure RTF Supply can be automatically allocated to these accounts and improve our overall business visibility (e.g. revenue projection & gap analysis) for a 90+ day period.

Based on workload analysis below, we anticipate the need for one head to support current B2C-IT Products with one additional head should we expand to support TV/AV/DI CE products.
