MASTER PRODUCTION SCHEDULER

Translate demand into a credible annual plan, an updated 13-week master schedule and executable four-week area plans.

CUSTOM CONTROL SENSORS, LLC | PHOENIX, AZ | FULL TIME · EXEMPT

WHO WE ARE

Custom Control Sensors (CCS) designs and manufactures high-reliability pressure, temperature and liquid flow switches and sensors for aerospace, defense and industrial markets. Since 1957, our products have incorporated the DUAL-SNAP action disc spring principle pioneered by CCS. We serve customers whose expectations for product quality, delivery and regulatory compliance are exacting. CCS operates under ISO 9001 and AS9100 quality systems and applicable FAA PMA, product and export-control requirements.

WHO YOU ARE

You are an experienced master production scheduler who connects loaded bookings and sales forecasts with material, labor and equipment capacity. You turn annual demand into a daily-updated rolling 13-week master plan, lead area planners and identify constraints early enough for Manufacturing to meet customer commitments.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

Manufacturing needs one credible production plan that reflects actual demand, supply constraints and available capacity. CCS needs a leader accountable for translating the annual outlook into a rolling 13-week schedule, monitoring four-week loaded area plans and protecting the company’s 98% on-time delivery objective through early, fact-based decisions.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• Annual production plan: Build the annual plan from loaded bookings and forecast requirements in the Sales system; reconcile backlog, production mix and site-level capacity assumptions.
• Rolling 13-week master plan: Update the integrated production plan across Components, Assembly and Mexico, reflecting materials, labor, equipment, lead times and customer priorities.
• Four-week plan oversight: Set standards and monitor the four-week loaded cell plans prepared by Production Planners; assess plan attainment, changes and projected misses.
• Promise-date feasibility: Provide Sales and Operations Enablement with realistic completion dates and documented material/capacity assumptions before commitments change.
• Constraint and recovery scenarios: Identify shortages and labor, skill, tooling or equipment limits early; quantify alternatives such as overtime, shifts, sourcing or resequencing.
• Planning-team leadership: Lead three Production Planners and two Production Support Coordinators; coach, cross-train and enforce schedule accuracy and escalation expectations.
• ERP/MRP planning controls: Govern planning windows, scheduling parameters and exceptions; flag inaccurate supplier lead times or other master-data defects to Purchasing and the authorized ERP data owners for correction.
• S&OP and operating rhythm: Provide decision-ready demand/supply/capacity scenarios for Director-led S&OP; flag daily risks and close weekly exceptions with an owner, action and date.

WHAT YOU WILL SUPPORT

Work through strong partnerships while preserving clear functional decision authority.

Plant execution: Plant Managers own production output, daily workforce deployment, actual OTD and shop-floor results; area planners own detailed sequencing and four-week loaded plans.

Sales and customer commitments: Sales owns customers and commercial promises; this role validates capacity and material feasibility and identifies date risk.

Materials and Engineering: Purchasing owns supplier agreements, purchase orders and the accuracy of quoted and actual supplier lead times. This role uses those inputs to test schedule feasibility and escalates discrepancies; Engineering and Programming own approved technical product data.

Operations Enablement and technology: The Director of Operations Enablement owns S&OP priorities; Business Systems & Technology owns ERP platforms. This role supplies planning requirements and verifies practical use.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• First 90 days: Publish an annual production plan and daily-updated 13-week schedule using validated sales bookings, forecasts, material and capacity assumptions. Establish four-week loaded-plan reviews and an exceptions register.
• First year: Demonstrate dependable cross-site planning, earlier recognition of material and capacity limits, improved promise-date feasibility, and consistent four-week plan adherence.
• Beyond: Create a resilient, forward-looking planning discipline that anticipates capacity needs and supports sustainable 98% OTD without reactive expediting.

HOW PERFORMANCE IS MEASURED

Performance is reviewed against the separate Right Seat Framework Performance Scorecard. Primary outcomes are annual/13-week plan integrity, daily update discipline, coverage and attainment of four-week loaded plans, feasible customer dates, early constraint escalation and team capability. Baselines and targets are established with leadership; Plant Managers retain actual OTD accountability.

ROLE COMPETENCIES

Successful performance includes these six role-specific competencies. CCS Standards, Safety and Compliance remain company-wide expectations.
