Fulfilment Planning Analyst

Overview

Denchi Group is the UKs leading supplier of high reliability battery systems and is looking to strengthen its team through the appointment of a Fulfilment Planning Analyst.

Salary dependent on applicant.

As a Production Fulfilment Analyst at Denchi, you will help ensure our customer orders are delivered on time by making sure production is set up for success. From planning material availability to coordinating production schedules and updating the system with real-world feedback, you will help improve how we manage and move materials through the business.

You will work within the procurement function but act as a key link between production, customer service and stores. You will ensure that shortages are picked up early, materials are fit for purpose, and production data is accurate — before, during, and after each build. When something goes wrong, you will not just fix it — you will help improve the underlying system or process, such as correcting lead times, Bills of Materials (BOMs), or scheduling logic.

This role is well suited to someone early in their career, such as a recent graduate, who enjoys problem-solving, learning how systems fit together, and making improvements that others can rely on. We will support your development and help you grow into a key player in our operations team.

• Coordinate with production, customer service, and engineering to ensure plans are realistic and achievable.
• Adjust dates and priorities where needed to protect on-time delivery.
• Root Cause and Process Improvement
• Investigate fulfilment problems and track down the root cause — from incorrect lead times to errors in the Bill of Materials.
• SUGGEST and make improvements to planning data to avoid repeat issues.
• Capture lessons learned from each production run to improve future scheduling and kitting.
• Inventory and Warehouse Coordination
• Liaise with stores to ensure kits are accurate, labelled, and complete.
• Monitor stock availability and help resolve picking or kitting issues.
• Ensure traceability and correct use of expiry-sensitive materials.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Facilitate weekly planning and production readiness reviews.
• Coordinate input from planning, procurement, stores, and customer service to keep work on track.
• Provide visibility on shortages, changes, and improvement actions.
• Reporting & Continuous Improvement
