  Amy’s Kitchen, Corporate Head Quarters, Petaluma, CA 10/10/16 – Present Distribution Planner - Consultant• The Distribution Planner is responsible for Finished Goods Service by planning the movement of the Finished Goods inventory to the Amy's Distribution Centers (3PL) Inventory must be moved equally and relative to the forecast and projected sales demands for each warehouse.• Create distribution plans for each Factory (Medford & Pocatello) as needed, for daily truck shipments to 3PL warehouses so as to deliver >98% fill rates by the warehouses. Distribution plans are created by pulling data from Quintiq and Oracle ASCP and Oracle BI, and entering it into an (excel) Master Truck Transfer tool. The tool provides data that then the Planner must analyze to create the most efficient and cost savings shipments to each of the 3PL’s.• The Planner will also use information regarding promotions, new products, changes in sales and changes in production by the Factory to make sure the final plans for each day will cover the needs of all Amy’s departments.• The Planner will create ISO’s in Oracle EBS, which the Logistical Teams will use to reserve and manage transportation of the finished product.• It is critical for the Planner to check and recheck the truck shipments sent to the Factories: changes can happen overnight or even during the daytime shift. Open communication with the Logistics Team will ensure that each day they will be confident that they will have good plans, with full trucks to the correct warehouse. This takes constant monitoring of the ISO’s and open communication with the Factory, Logistics and Planning no matter what time it is.• As an Amy’s Employee we must uphold the mission of the Amy’s Food Safety and Quality Policy. This includes following all Food and Safety and Sustainability programs and participating in all required training. Amy’s goes the extra mile to be the best! Show less
