Summary: We are seeking a motivated and skilled Associate Manager / Team Lead with hands-on experience in Blue Yonder Sequencing implementation and support. The ideal candidate will lead configuration and validation of factory sequencing logic, integrate sequencing outcomes with planning and execution systems, and support manufacturing clients in optimizing shop floor efficiency. This role requires strong knowledge of production sequencing logic, MOCA scripting, and the ability to troubleshoot pegging, routing, and priority-based allocation strategies in a complex manufacturing network. Roles & Responsibilities : - Lead the implementation and support of Blue Yonder Sequencing (Factory Planner / Sequencer) for discrete or process manufacturing environments. - Configure and validate sequencing logic, resource constraints, routing strategies, production rules, and sequencing priorities. - Translate business sequencing requirements into system configurations and rule-based logic. - Manage MOCA script modifications, custom rule configurations, and troubleshooting across planning scenarios. - Analyze sequencing outputs, pegging chains, production calendar constraints, and job sequences to ensure manufacturing efficiency. - Collaborate with ERP (SAP/Oracle), MES, and planning teams to ensure smooth upstream and downstream data flows. - Support planning and sequencing cycles, including scenario runs, what-if modeling, and performance tuning. - Participate in SIT, UAT, cutover, and hypercare, ensuring end-to-end sequencing functionality aligns with operational goals. - Guide and mentor junior team members on sequencing configuration, testing, and issue resolution. Professional & Technical Experience : - 7–10 years of experience in supply chain/manufacturing planning with 2–4 years of hands-on Blue Yonder Sequencing or Factory Planner experience. - Strong functional knowledge of factory sequencing concepts, shop-floor constraints, and production routing. - Hands-on experience with MOCA scripting, database queries (SQL), and Blue Yonder configuration utilities. - Ability to analyze pegging chains, identify sequencing issues, and apply corrective logic/configurations. - Exposure to integration with ERP systems (SAP PP, Oracle SCM) or MES/Shop Floor Execution systems. - Experience supporting sequencing use cases like setup minimization, resource load balancing, and priority rules. - Strong understanding of BY data structures and planning calendars. - Experience with Factory Planner integrated with BY ESP or Fulfillment. - Exposure to Blue Yonder cloud or SaaS deployments. - Industry experience in CPG, Automotive, Pharma, or other manufacturing-heavy sectors. - Experience with upgrade/migration from on-prem to SaaS sequencing platforms.
