Business Process Analyst - Production Planning Process Excellence & Transformation

Business Process Analyst - Production Planning Process Excellence & Transformation

Job Profile Summary

Within ASML Global Manufacturing, the Cymer Factory (CF) Production Planning team is evolving to a higher maturity level: more stable plans, clearer governance, stronger data integrity, and repeatable ways of working. This role is created to support that stepup by acting as a handson Business Process Analyst embedded in Production Planning.

You will analyze, document, improve, and help implement planning processes, and you will support delivery of transformation workstreams both within the production planning scope and as a factory representative in endtoend planning transformation initiatives (process + KPI + adoption activities). This aligns with the enterprise BPM principle of identifying, designing, documenting, measuring, monitoring, and controlling processes.

Role and responsibilities

1) Process analysis & redesign (Production Planning core)

• Map current-state (AsIs) production planning processes and pain points; facilitate workshops and capture root causes, handoffs, decision points, and failure modes.
• Co-design future-state (ToBe) planning workflows with planning leads and stakeholders; translate improvements into clear procedures, standard work, and role clarity (RACI).
• Maintain process documentation so it reflects the current agreed way-of-working (incl. updates when improvements are implemented).

2) KPI, reporting, and planning health (fact-based management)

• Support definition, creation, and upkeep of planning KPIs and dashboards (e.g., plan adherence, stability, constraint drivers), including data definitions and reporting cadence.
• Provide analysis and insights that identify trends, exceptions, and improvement opportunities; package findings into concise, decision-ready updates for the Production Planning Manager and stakeholders.

3) Data integrity & process controls (enable repeatability)

• Help drive system/process integrity by identifying data gaps impacting planning and coordinating corrections with process owners and data/system partners (e.g., master data health checks, governance routines).
• Support "control points" in the process (checks, validations, escalation triggers) that prevent recurrence and reduce firefighting.

4) Transformation project support (within planning + E2E representation)

• Deliver defined workstreams in the production planning transformation portfolio: problem statements, requirement capture, process mapping, test support, rollout preparation, adoption tracking.
• Represent the factory in endtoend planning transformation forums by bringing factory requirements, documenting decisions, translating impacts into local actions, and supporting adoption deliverables (training material, SOP updates, KPI readiness).

5) Adoption enablement & "second-line" process support

• Support change adoption: create/maintain work instructions, quick reference guides, and structured training support for planners and execution partners.
• Provide second-line process support during disturbances by analyzing issues, proposing corrective actions, and ensuring the fix is embedded into standard work (not a one-off).

Education

Bachelor's Degree required; Master's preferred (Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Operations, Business Administration, or related field)
APICS CPIM or CSCP certification strongly preferred.

Education and Experience

• Minimum 4-9 years of experience in production planning, supply chain, manufacturing operations, process improvement, or business analysis
• Exposure to planning systems/processes and system-integrity topics (data quality, KPI reporting, standard work).
• Strong experience working with ERP systems (Oracle preferred) and understanding of data structures impacting planning.
• Experience working in a cross-functional, fast-paced manufacturing environment with competing priorities.
• Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Spotfire, Power BI) is a plus.

Skills

• Strong analytical skills (Excel/data analysis); ability to convert data into actionable recommendations.
• Process mapping and documentation (workflows, procedures) and continuous improvement mindset.
• High level of ownership, accountability, and decision-making within scope.
• Ability to prioritize strategically and manage multiple high-impact topics simultaneously.
• Stakeholder communication: clear, structured writing; can run workshops and align actions across functions.
• Practical change enablement: helps teams adopt new ways of working via training artifacts and follow-through.
