• Create and present detailed reports to upper management on plant capacity, production performance, and resource utilization.
• Develop and monitor dashboards and metrics to track key performance indicators (KPIs) related to scheduling and capacity planning.
• Serve as a communication bridge between production teams and leadership, ensuring alignment on priorities and goals.

Continuous Improvement

• Implement and refine scheduling processes to enhance accuracy and efficiency.
• Identify and recommend process improvements to support manufacturing and operational excellence.
• Stay updated on industry best practices and integrate them into scheduling and planning workflows.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field or equivalent work experience.
• APICS/ASCM CPIM certification preferred.
• 3‑10 years of experience in master scheduling, production scheduling, capacity planning, or a similar role within a manufacturing environment.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data and drive decisions.
• Proficiency in ERP/MRP systems (Infor Syteline preferred) and advanced Excel skills.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with experience reporting to senior leadership.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and work under tight deadlines.
