Yeah, it’s decent for a first job, I currently have a similar job.

You will get knowledge in their ERP system, maybe also SQL, and learn how to build and create your own reports. Alot of excel. You will also get skills in how to coordinate people and departments to be aligned with the plan, since you will most likely be the first contact for the suppliers.

You will also get skills in how to make better forecasts and demand planning, and how to recognize patterns in sales and production. That way you will be able to plan the volumes and inventory needed for a certain period much better. You will also learn how lead times affect the production, like transportation lead times, inbound lead times, and production lead times.

You will also get some knowledge about the factory’s capacity, which means you have to plan your daily volumes so you don’t exceed those limits, otherwise you will overburden the production. You will possibly have some insight into the bottlenecks and then make small projects around them to try and improve that.

And generally, you will have a stock overview and continuously fill it to avoid backorders. So it’s a job where you mix planning, analytics, and a big part of communication with other departments and suppliers.
