The Key elements of a Product Flow Manager:

• The Product Flow Specialist ensures pack sites have sufficient final containers (FC) available in the correct volume and quality status at the right time so pack sites can deliver their production plan. The Product flow specialist is covering the FC requiring physical transfers between filling and pack sites. Factories covering both filling and pack activities on the same site continue to ensure with their internal resources the feasibility of the packaging plan.
• Thanks to a deep process and product knowledge, in planning, manufacturing and release processes (QC, QA, eCC etc.), the Product flow specialist is responsible for anticipating, managing, and solving issues which might have an impact on the future packaging plans. When required, he/she needs to escalate effectively the non-solved issues or major issues impacting supply to the Weekly Supply Meeting.
• The Product flow specialists ensure that the FC allocated to pack is the best choice from a supply point of view by verifying previous production steps can be released in line with supply timelines and if not they remain the best possible choice.
