: Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Operations Management, Data Science, Business Information Management, Technical Business Administration
The Supply Chain department within Vanderlande's Distribution domain needs earlier and more reliable visibility into the workload generated by upcoming customer projects. Currently, commercial and project outlooks are not translated early enough into expected quantities of components, subassemblies, manufacturing/assembly hours, and supplier capacity. Because the final Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM) arrives late in the process, it limits our ability to secure long-lead items, level-load factories, and prepare an executable supply plan.
In this strategic assignment, you will explore, design, and pilot a Planning Bill of Materials (PBOM). The PBOM is a high-level, planning-level product structure that converts early, uncertain project demand into a time-phased supply and capacity outlook (3–18 months) before final engineering designs are frozen. You will define the conceptual data architecture, connect project outlooks with production requirements, run pilot scenarios across key product lines (e.g., Conveyors and Sorters), and create an analytical prototype dashboard. Your work will accelerate Vanderlande's transition from project-centric execution to a product-led, highly scalable supply chain.
You will join the Distribution Supply team in Veghel, where Planning, Product Supply Management, Execution, Manufacturing, Distribution Centers, Quality, and Technology collaborate seamlessly.
The department is driving digital supply chain transformation, including integrated S&OP/S&OE, product-level performance steering, critical-component planning, and standardized pre-assembly. You will work alongside experienced supply chain architects and managers in an open, innovative, and data-driven environment.
