What You’ll Do

• Own and maintain the Master Production Schedule (MPS) based on customer demand, capacity, materials, and production requirements.
• Establish production and delivery dates for incoming customer orders.
• Create and release work orders through the company’s ERP/MRP system.
• Update production schedules daily as orders, priorities, and operating conditions change.
• Maintain a rolling 3-month production plan and support forecasting and demand analysis.
• Track orders throughout the manufacturing process and identify potential schedule or delivery risks before they become problems.
• Monitor production stage gates and work closely with Production to keep orders moving.
• Coordinate with Supply Chain to understand material availability and its impact on production timing.
• Balance expedited and rush orders against existing production commitments and available capacity.
• Identify bottlenecks, communicate risks, and help drive solutions across departments.
• Partner closely with Production, Supply Chain, Operations, Customer Account Management, and leadership.
• Help drive exceptional on-time delivery performance and reliable customer commitments.

What We’re Looking For

• 1+ years of production planning, master scheduling, supply planning, demand planning, or related manufacturing planning experience.
• Hands-on experience working with an ERP/MRP system; Oracle experience is especially valuable.
• Experience building, maintaining, or working directly with a Master Production Schedule (MPS).
• Strong understanding of manufacturing schedules, work orders, inventory/material availability, and customer demand.
• Ability to manage changing priorities, production constraints, and competing customer requirements.
• Strong Excel skills and comfort working with forecasting and planning data.

Especially Interesting

• Experience in nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, food manufacturing, health & wellness products, or another regulated manufacturing environment would be a major plus.

A bit about us:

We’re a growing Salt Lake City-area manufacturer of nutraceutical and dietary supplement products, helping bring health and wellness products from production through finished goods for our customers.

It’s a fast-moving manufacturing environment where priorities can change, customer commitments matter, and Production, Supply Chain, Operations, and customer-facing teams have to stay closely connected.

If you’re a Production Planner or Master Scheduler who’s ready for more ownership, this could be a great next step.

We’re looking for a Master Planner who will own the Master Production Schedule and have a real voice in deciding what gets produced, when it gets produced, and how changing demand, materials, capacity, and customer priorities affect the plan.

You’ll be right in the middle of the operation keeping production and customer commitments aligned, spotting potential bottlenecks before they become problems, and working across teams to keep orders moving and deliveries on track.

This is a highly visible position working across Supply Chain, Production, Customer Account Management, and Operations. You'll follow orders from receipt through completion, anticipate potential bottlenecks, adjust priorities as needs change, and make sure teams have the information they need to deliver on customer commitments.

Why join us?

• $110K-$128K base salary
• 401(k) with company match
• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
• Generous PTO and paid holidays
• Stable and growing manufacturing environment
• High-visibility role with significant ownership
• Work closely with operations and company leadership
• Opportunity to improve planning processes and influence how production is executed
