Director of Supply Chain Strategy & Analytics
Flexjet LLC, Cleveland, OH, United States
Director of Supply Chain Strategy & Analytics
Design and operationalize a simplified, predictive Aircraft on Ground (AOG) model
by mapping complex, cross-functional processes into clearly defined workflows, roles and responsibilities, and measurable KPIs羊educating unplanned aircraft downtime and improving speed, reliability, and decision‑making across the organization. MOVE FROM REACTIVE TO PREDICTIVE.
Job Description The Director of Supply Chain Strategy & Analytics is responsible for designing and leading an integrated, predictive operating model that aligns maintenance demand with material availability to reduce Aircraft on Ground (AOG) risk and operational volatility. This role transforms the MRO supply chain from reactive expediting to a scheduled, forecast‑driven system by connecting scheduled maintenance planning, unscheduled failure risk, and parts supply into a single, analytically grounded demand signal. Success requires simplifying complex, cross‑functional processes, establishing clear governance and KPIs, while embedding analytics into daily operations, and partnering closely with Maintenance, Engineering, and Supply Chain leaders to proactively prevent AOG events and improve fleet availability.
Core Responsibilities Predictive AOG & Demand Planning
Lead enterprise strategy for forecasting scheduled and unscheduled maintenance‑driven material demand.
Develop aircraft‑, system‑, and component‑level demand forecasts using reliability trends and operating profiles.
Convert AOG risk into clear inventory, repair, and exchange decisions.
Maintenance & Materials Integration
Integrate heavy, line, and phase maintenance plans with materials requirements.
Define planning horizons, freeze windows, and change‑control processes to reduce last‑minute disruptions.
Ensure proactive pre‑positioning of rotables, consumables, and tooling.
Supply Chain Analytics & Optimization
Optimize inventory, rotable pools, repair turns, and supplier capacity against service‑level targets.
Surface predictive alerts for shortages, repair delays, and supplier risk.
Data, Visibility & Governance
Define a unified data model across maintenance, inventory, repairs, and suppliers.
Create and institutionalize KPIs (forecast accuracy, lead time, service level).
Deliver forward‑looking dashboards highlighting material risk by aircraft and event.
Align Maintenance, Engineering, Planning, and Supply Chain around a single demand signal.
Trigger pre‑emptive actions to avoid AOGs.
Lead analytical post‑mortems on AOG events and drive systemic fixes.
Continuously refine forecasting and planning models.
Leadership
Build and lead small, high‑impact analytics & process improvement project teams.
Act as a trusted partner to Maintenance, Engineering, and Operations leaders.
Drive adoption through operationally realistic solutions.
Qualifications
7+ years in
asset‑intensive supply chains , with direct experience in maintenance planning, materials management, or reliability analytics.
Proven ability to implement
forecast‑driven, operational supply chain models
in complex environments.
Strong grounding in
business process engineering, reliability, and planning .
Experience with
advanced analytics, BI, and planning systems ; MRO supply chain experience (rotables, repairs, exchanges, PBH) preferred.
Enterprise thinker
with a practical, execution‑oriented mindset who can challenge legacy assumptions, can influence senior leaders, and turn strategy into measurable results.
