Purpose
This role focuses on the functional and process side of Kinaxis implementations analyzing existing supply-chain processes (demand planning, supply planning, forecasting, S&OP, inventory, replenishment, etc.), defining requirements, ensuring business readiness, performing testing, and supporting configuration or functional consulting. Often they act as the link between business stakeholders (planning, operations, logistics) and technical/solution teams.
Key Responsibilities (typical / generic, drawn from related Kinaxis Consultant / Planning Consultant roles)
Work with business stakeholders to understand current processes, pain points, KPIs and improvement goals in demand, supply, inventory, S&OP, and planning cycles.
Participate in workshops for functional design, gather requirements, and document business process flows and system requirements (fit/gap, user stories).
Assist in functional configuration of Kinaxis RapidResponse / Maestro for example supporting demand forecasting, supply planning modules, data mapping, master data validation.
Collaborate with technical/solution architects and integration teams to ensure data flows, interfaces and system integrations meet business requirements.
Support testing efforts: unit testing, integration testing, user acceptance testing (UAT) to ensure business logic is correctly implemented; document test scripts; validate results.
Provide training, documentation, and knowledge transfer to business users; support change management to enable adoption of new planning processes.
Help translate business challenges (e.g. variability, forecast inaccuracy, slow planning cycles) into system requirements or process improvements provide recommendations based on supply-chain planning best practices.
Typical Requirements / Skills
Several years (e.g. 2-5+) of experience in supply-chain planning, demand forecasting, supply planning, S&OP or related business roles.
Familiarity with supply-chain planning concepts: demand planning, forecasting, MRP/consumption-based planning, supply planning, capacity planning, inventory management.
Ability to analyze business processes, perform requirements gathering, documentation (functional specs, process flows, gap analysis).
Good communication and stakeholder management skills ability to speak business language and translate to system/technical teams.
Basic knowledge or exposure to system configuration/testing; ideally some experience or understanding of enterprise planning systems (e.g. Kinaxis, ERP, planning tools).
Ability to support testing (UAT), data validation, master data management, change management and end-user training.
Why this role matters
Implementations often fail not because the tool is technically broken but because business processes are unclear, requirements are mis-specified, user adoption is poor, or master data is inconsistent. A Business Process / Planning Business Analyst ensures the solution fits real business needs, drives adoption, and realizes value by translating between business and technical worlds.
