• Partner closely with operations, procurement, inventory, and logistics teams to ensure plans are practical, executable and aligned to shop floor conditions
• Ensure materials, components, and inventory are available and staged to meet production schedules
• Monitor production capacity, resource utilization, constraints, and bottlenecks to optimize flow
• Proactively identify and resolve material shortages, capacity constraints, and scheduling risks
• Track and report key performance indicators such as schedule adherence, throughput, first-pass quality, rework, downtime, material shortages, and labour efficiency
• Support operational excellence, lean manufacturing, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Ensure strong data integrity and alignment across MES, ERP, inventory, and production planning systems
• Support integration and alignment of MES with ERP, inventory, and production scheduling systems to enable end-to-end visibility
