High-Level Position Summary:

We are seeking a skilled and experienced Manufacturing Planner / Scheduler to join our team. The Manufacturing Planner / Scheduler is responsible for the daily and weekly finite-capacity production schedule for the Houston Machine Shop, supporting a high-mix machining and discrete manufacturing environment.

This role translates demand and supply requirements into an executable production plan by balancing customer demand, inventory, material availability, tooling, machine capacity, work-order priorities, outside processing, and downstream constraints. The Master Scheduler is accountable for maintaining a stable production flow and ensuring the right parts are available at the right time to meet customer and business commitments.

In addition to core production scheduling, the Planner / Scheduler owns the supply planning and production scheduling workstream for NPI, product launches, manufacturing transfers, and CAPEX initiatives. The Master Scheduler develops and maintains an integrated production roadmap and back-schedules launch requirements through the complete manufacturing flow to ensure production readiness and on-time launch execution.

The Manufacturing Planner / Scheduler serves as a central coordination point across Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Procurement, Operations, and Program Management, providing visibility into capacity, constraints, risks, and required actions.

Success is measured by schedule attainment, on-time delivery, service level, machine utilization, inventory performance, production stability, and on-time launch readiness.

Key Responsibilities:

• Master Production Scheduling & Execution
  • Build, maintain, and continuously adjust daily and weekly finite-capacity production schedules, keeping the master schedule accurate and executable against actual machine capacity, material availability, WIP, and operational constraints.
  • Sequence work orders based on demand, due dates, customer priorities, inventory requirements, machine capabilities, tooling, material availability, changeovers, and downstream capacity.
  • Balance competing priorities and resolve production constraints through resequencing, load leveling, changeover optimization, overtime, outsourcing, or other approved mitigation strategies.
  • Release, monitor, and maintain work orders in NetSuite, ensuring accurate quantities, routings, statuses, priorities, and completion dates.
  • Monitor schedule adherence, identify deviations early, and lead adherence discussions with Manufacturing, Quality, and Engineering. Escalate material, capacity, quality, tooling, equipment, or labor constraints that threaten committed dates, along with recovery actions.
  • Review MRP outputs, exceptions, shortages, and rescheduling recommendations, and determine scheduling actions that address supply constraints while maintaining production stability.
  • Balance service-level requirements against WIP and finished-goods inventory objectives, and identify and reduce stockouts, excess inventory, aging WIP, and unnecessary schedule disruptions.
• 2. Outside Processing & Downstream Flow
  • Create and manage outside processing POs within the production schedule, coordinating timing, priorities, and status. Follow up on delays and build recovery plans to protect downstream operations.
  • Maintain visibility of parts through downstream operations and adjust production priorities when constraints threaten customer or launch commitments.
• 3. NPI, Product Launch & CAPEX Scheduling
  • Own the supply planning and production scheduling workstream for NPI Product Launches and Capex Initiatives.
  • Partner with the PMO to translate committed launch and build dates into detailed production requirements and executable schedules.
  • Back-schedule launch requirements through the complete manufacturing/product flow to ensure parts are available in finished goods with sufficient time to support NPI and CAPEX builds.
  • Maintain a single, forward-looking integrated production roadmap that combines existing production demand with launches, manufacturing transfers, and capacity expansions.
  • Assess the impact of new programs on machine capacity, materials, tooling, OSP, inspection, labor, and existing customer demand, and identify schedule conflicts, capacity gaps, and material risks before they affect committed dates.
  • Coordinate with Engineering, Quality, Procurement, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Operations to confirm launch readiness.
  • Track launch-part status and communicate risks, recovery actions, and expected completion dates to the PMO and leadership.
