I'm a supply chain professional with 5+ years in demand planning, machine-learning forecasting, and S&OP facilitation for FMCG leaders — turning data into decisions boards can act on.
From statistical forecasting to boardroom insights — across the full planning cycle.
Statistical and ML forecasting for sales, promotions, and NPIs — with deep command of the KPIs that matter: FA, BIAS, FVA, MAPE.
Leading Demand Review Meetings and cross-functional planning across Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Supply — including insights for board members.
Managing stock-outs, overstock, and risks & opportunities — with a clear view of the logistics and distribution implications of every planning decision.
Design and implementation of planning software and processes (SAP IBP, Kinaxis) — from project vision through sprints, BIT, and go-live.
FMCG leaders, global planning platforms, and teams that deliver.
Creating statistical and machine-learning forecasts for the entire product portfolio in SAP IBP — researching demand factors and tuning system parameters for continuous improvement. Monitoring and reporting KPIs (forecast accuracy, BIAS, MAPE, forecast value add) at multiple levels and lags, contributing to promotion planning through data insights, and supporting new product introductions with like-SKU analysis and cannibalization impact assessment.
Facilitated S&OP meetings (preDMR, CMOS) and prepared weekly volume and finance estimations for board members. Built what-if scenarios for negotiations with top customers and introduced a Promo Management solution for the Sales department — from idea to implementation.
Key User in a global end-to-end planning system implementation (Kinaxis) — sprints, UAT, and go-live. Shaped system behaviour based on real planning processes and refined forecast configuration and business rules.
Maintained and expanded system functionality, analysed data, created documentation, and cooperated in User Acceptance Testing.
I'm Monika Pieczonka — a supply chain expert who has seen planning from every angle: building ML forecasts, facilitating S&OP discussions, and delivering structured insights to board members and regional stakeholders.
I hold an MSc in Production Management and Engineering and an Eng. in Commodity Science from the Cracow University of Economics. My sweet spot is translating business needs to the IT world — and back — so transformation projects actually land.
Away from the spreadsheets, I run (first full marathon in 2024, half marathons since 2019), ride gravel and road bikes, and I'm training for my PPL(A) pilot licence.
Conferences, workshops, team days, and industry events.
My blog — where I bridge the gap between my technical expertise as a supply chain professional and my curiosity as an FMCG geek.
