Global MRP Planner: Optimize Production & Supply Chain

V2X Inc; Indianapolis (IN); On-site; USD 70,000 - 95,000; Full time

Job summary

V2X Inc in Indianapolis, IN is seeking an MRP Planner to own delivery commitments and manage 0–90 day planning horizons within the MDO Integrated Planning team. You will coordinate with Production Scheduling, Material Control, and Supply Chain to keep programs on track to contractual delivery dates.

You will review MRP output, resolve material shortages, and validate demand signals in SAP S/4HANA PP/MRP, with strong Excel analytical support.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of MRP, material planning or production planning in a manufacturing environment.
• Hands-on experience working MRP exception messages, managing planned orders, and resolving material shortages against demand.
• Experience in defense, aerospace, or other regulated high-mix/low-volume environments is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Plan and protect delivery commitments for assigned programs. Own the program-level plan, review the 0–90 day horizon, identify material risks, capacity conflicts, and demand changes, and keep assigned programs on track to contractual delivery.
• Action MRP exception messages. Review net-change and regenerative MRP output for assigned programs, act on near-term exceptions (reschedule in/out, cancel, expedite), and escalate systemic cross-program patterns to the MDO Planning Lead.
• Manage the planned-order horizon and purchase requisitions. Review planned orders eligible for release in the long-range horizon and confirm material support before handing short-term release decisions to Production Scheduling. Release or reject MRP-generated purchase requisitions after validating quantity, date, and source.
• Resolve material shortages. Work material shortages and supplier delays directly with Supply Chain to keep released orders covered, initiating purchase requisitions or expedites when there is no stock. Escalate to program coordination when a shortage cannot be resolved with Supply Chain, and assess delivery impact once the supplier issue is resolved.
• Maintain demand-signal and data accuracy. Validate that SAP demand signals reflect program-office intent, flag implausible routings and recurring rework BOMs to engineering, and keep planned orders and planning parameters accurate so the plan stays stable.
• Participate in planning cadence and escalates obstacles. Take part in the Tier 1B planner sync and the Tier 2 weekly planning review with program priority context prepared in advance, and escalates through program coordination when program-office pressure needs a manager-level response.
