Job description

As an NPI Planner at NTS Hengelo, you are responsible for the complete logistical setup of new customer projects. You ensure that the right materials, processes, and schedules are ready on time, so that the production process can start smoothly – and is scalable.

You work on long-term projects where you keep an overview, identify risks, and initiate improvement proposals. No day is the same: you switch between ERP configuration, customer contact, prototype planning, and structural handover to operations.

• Coordinate material flows and availability of critical parts and prototypes;
• Assess technical changes and adjust planning and material requirements;
• Establish phase-in / phase-out schedules with corresponding inventory strategy;
• Advise project leaders on feasibility, risks, and progress;
• Ensure internal coordination with production, procurement, logistics, and dispatch;
• Maintain contact with customers about project planning, deliveries, and logistical issues;
• Transfer repeatable processes and schedules to operations;
• Continuously improve supply chain processes and KPI performance.

Requirements

• HBO or WO level of education, preferably in logistics, engineering, or supply chain;
• Minimum of 3 years of experience with NPI or project-based production;
• Practical approach and ability to think in processes;
• Strong communication skills, both internally and towards customers;
• Knowledge of ERP systems and Office (Excel is a must) packages;
• Knowledge of ERP-LN is a plus;
• Good command of Dutch and English in speech and writing.
