We develop and produce sustainable ingredients for a variety of applications including food, nutrition, medical devices, parma, bioplastics. We have production sites in The Netherlands, the US, Thailand, Brazil and Spain.
Within Corbion supply planning is the cornerstone of the end-to-end supply chain planning process.

Role Overview
Your responsibility as Supply planner is to determine how to fulfill the demand for our products and meet or exceed our various business and operational goals, such as delivering products on time to customers, reducing manufacturing costs, and meeting revenue and profitability targets. Our Supply planning team creates and executes a supply plan to optimize inventory levels, production schedules and supplier relationships. The goal is to streamline the supply planning and better aligning with demand, to optimize our working capital and execute inventory decisions that produce the most value.
Each Global Supply planner works hand in hand with one or more local plant(s) and it’s supply chain team. The Global Supply planner sets the general direction of production and dynamically sets target stock levels to meet future demand whereas the local supply chain teams (scheduling and material planning) manage the short horizon by predicting the effects of changes in production, interruptions, machine breakdowns, scraps and other factors.
