About the Role:

At Sanofi, we’re committed to providing the next-gen healthcare that patients and customers need.

The objective of ICS (Integrated Collaborative Scheduling) is to make Scheduling and Daily Capacity Management processes at Sanofi, smarter, faster and simpler. In turn, maximizing delivery of sites and ensuring reliable supply.

Indeed, in many manufacturing units, Scheduling and Daily Capacity Management are still performed manually, in a way that doesn’t always rely on data and robust rules. This is tedious, time-consuming and makes difficult to anticipate issues and quickly react to unforeseen events. In addition, current tools lack simulation and "what if" scenarios capabilities, limiting our ability for effective decision-making.

From a solution standpoint, ICS Product consists of the integrated implementation of three applications expected to interact seamlessly.

• Recipe Management Engineer (RME) to define Scheduling and Daily Capacity Management recipes respectively at operation and activity level.

• Ortems to issue the Production Schedule.

• Workforce Planner to issue the Execution Schedule.

As Product Configuration Engineer Scheduling, you will be responsible for designing and configuring the ICS Product (COTS - Commercial Off-The-Shelf - Product). You will actively support ICS implementation ensuring compliance with requirements, security and data privacy. Your accountability will apply to the Scheduling process and the corresponding Recipe Management.

We are an innovative global healthcare company with one purpose: to chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. We’re also a company where you can flourish and grow your career, with countless opportunities to explore, make connections with people, and stretch the limits of what you thought was possible.
