Oswaldo Bocanegra

Industrial Engineer and APICS CPIM-certified planning professional with 10+ years of experience in master production scheduling, production planning, MRP, materials and inventory management, and production control across electronics manufacturing, plastics, metalworking, and supplements.

Experience analyzing customer demand and developing feasible production schedules aligned with material availability, capacity constraints, delivery commitments, and business priorities. Skilled in What-if scenario analysis, Clear to Build (CTB), cross-functional coordination with Program Management and Procurement, and proactive escalation of risks to production efficiency and on-time delivery. Proficient in SAP S/4HANA, Baan ERP, SAP Business One, Kinaxis RapidResponse, and advanced Excel.

Master Planner at BIOFARMA NATURAL CMD (2025-03 – 2026-08)

• Owned the monthly Master Production Schedule (MPS) and weekly production scheduling for approximately 297 finished-goods SKUs, including 60–70 different products scheduled monthly; balanced commercial demand, inventory, material availability, lead times, production capacity, and delivery priorities.
• Analyzed material and capacity constraints using SAP S/4HANA and MRP data, including inventory, purchase orders, purchase requisitions, reservations, manufacturing orders, and supply coverage; developed feasible alternatives such as partial deliveries, quantity adjustments, and schedule changes.
• Created What-if production scenarios in response to material shortages, equipment failures, unplanned downtime, and priority changes; quantified effects on units, displaced products, delays, and commercial objectives, then escalated alternatives to management for decisions.
• Translated annual forecasts into production lots, units, and equipment loads to evaluate capacity utilization and supply feasibility; supported S&OP reviews and incorporated agreed priorities into the MPS.
• Improved and standardized the official MPS tool with customer/product/country segmentation, inventory coverage, material shortages, projected finished-goods availability, and material/capacity risk indicators.
• Coordinated demand-versus-supply reconciliation with Commercial and cross-functional stakeholders; developed advanced Excel/VBA tools to monitor shortages, inventory, WIP, and production orders; trained three new planners on SAP, MRP, and MPS processes.

Planner Scheduler at FLEX (2019-04 – 2021-03)

• Managed concurrent production programs in electronics and plastics manufacturing, serving as the planning point of contact for Program Management; generated daily production schedules in Baan based on routings, CTB, materials, capacity, customer priorities, and delivery commitments.
• Used Kinaxis RapidResponse to simulate What-if scenarios for customer demand changes, new product introductions (NPI), and shifting priorities; analyzed shortages and lead times, coordinated recovery actions with Procurement, recalculated CTB, and established feasible build/delivery dates.
• Partnered with Procurement, including weekly English-language meetings with a team in India, to review supply shortages, escalate delivery risks, negotiate material availability dates, and adjust production schedules.
• Evaluated capacity constraints, equipment downtime, backlog, and revenue exposure; coordinated alternative resources and scheduling priorities with Engineering, other planners, Program Management, and management.
• Managed BOM and master-data accuracy, MRP-related discrepancies, E&O, End-of-Life (EOL), and material liability; supported NPI readiness and production control, including WIP, production orders, and plan-versus-actual tracking.

Production Planner at EQUIPOS PARA ENVASADO S.A. DE C.V. (2016-01 – 2019-04)

• Planned and controlled manufacturing orders in a metalworking operation supporting Make-to-Order, Make-to-Stock, custom projects, and spare parts; converted the production plan into detailed machine/work-center schedules.
• Tracked WIP, open orders, materials, and production progress in SAP Business One; coordinated with Production and Warehouse to resolve shortages and scheduling deviations.
• Supported implementation and monitoring of an inventory-health KPI that improved availability of finished equipment and spare parts.

Planning Intern at EQUIPOS PARA ENVASADO S.A. DE C.V. (2015-08 – 2015-12)

Supported production planning, shop-floor control, and material/inventory monitoring; subsequently promoted to Production Planner.
