What would you do as a Scheduling Manager?

You’ll lead the production planning process, ensuring customer requirements are met while optimizing manufacturing and material flow. You’ll manage a team of Planners, collaborate across departments, and implement tools and processes that drive accountability, efficiency, and performance.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Customer Service, Warehouse, Shipping, Quality, and Engineering to ensure on-time delivery and efficient use of resources
• Estimate and plan production times considering machine availability, backlog, tooling, product complexity, and outside operations
• Monitor work-in-process, stock levels, and forecasts, maintaining optimal materials and WIP inventory to meet delivery and budget goals
• Track and analyze KPIs (schedule adherence, on-time delivery, capacity utilization), implementing corrective actions and driving data-based decisions
• Lead the transition from manual scheduling to ERP/MRP systems, streamlining processes, leveraging technology, and scaling workflows for greater efficiency
• Drive continuous improvement and long-term planning initiatives, including capital projects, capacity optimization, and resource utilization
• Proactively resolve capacity, supply chain, and scheduling challenges while maintaining customer commitments
• Contribute to a safe, compliant, and collaborative work environment in line with AADG policies and the ASSA ABLOY Code of Conduct
• Perform other duties and special projects as required

• Post-secondary degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Business, or a related field (advanced degree a plus)
• 7–10+ years of progressive experience in manufacturing planning/scheduling and operations leadership, including people management
• Demonstrated success leading teams in a fast-paced, unionized manufacturing environment
• Strong knowledge of scheduling systems, ERP/MRP, inventory management, and capacity planning practices
• Proficiency in MS Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and reporting tools; familiarity with accounting or financial systems an asset
• Experience with Lean, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement methodologies
• Exceptional leadership presence with strong decision-making, project management, and change management skills
• Excellent analytical ability, problem-solving, and organizational skills with the capacity to manage multiple priorities
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills (verbal and written), with the ability to collaborate effectively across departments and with customers
