For more information, .The Digital Transformation Office is orchestrating our journey to become a Digital First organization by building and deploying end-to-end digital solutions that solve unmet needs and generate value through a fully integrated digital ecosystem.The Analyst, Data Science will deliver critical insights and intelligence to cross-functional Supply Chain teams through scalable data science solutions. This individual will work with cross-functional subject matter experts (SMEs) to deeply understand business context and key business questions / opportunities, as well as collaborate with other teams (e.g., Digital Capability teams, PMO, IT delivery, Data Engineering, Data Quality, Data Management & Governance, ML Ops) to ensure delivery of scalable data science solutions.The ideal candidate for this role will demonstrate a combination of business focus, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and programming knowledge to be able to quickly cycle hypothesis through the discovery phase of the project and excellent written and communications skills to report back the findings in a clear, structured mannerWhat you will do ?Key Responsibilities:Kenvues DTO, Digital Transformation Office is leading the transformation of operations with deployment of cutting edge digital solution. Demand Sensing and Advanced Forecasting is a key effort within data science team of DTO office.Demand planning master data management is a central activity to drive the forecasting and planning efficiencies. We are looking to set up a central team to take care of master data management activities. This will include PIPO, Baseline management, sales history management and Forecasting Analytics.PIPO is a process to manage the product lifecycle in Demand Planning ERP system. Products within Kenvue may go through transitions in the scenarios like artwork change, formulation changes, case configuration changes etc. The PIPO process helps in aligning the sales history and forecastbetween the predecessors and successors at material code levelunder such scenarios. The purpose of baseline management is to establish a process of generating reliable reproducible baseline forecast which is refreshed every month and is made available in Kenvue planning system for further planning operations. The purpose of sales history management is to ensure the corrected demand history is complete and moved on to the active forecasted version code and/or root code. The process will ensure all qualified cases for soft switch and copy promo are entered into the FC tracker by LDPs.It helps to manage statistical outlier correction and manage corrected demand history in case of SKU delisting by a Customer.
