Job Summary

Production only moves as fast as the plan behind it.

• Maintain manufacturing build plans, run and set-up times, and expected completion dates for every scheduled job.
• Perform cycle counts as needed and maintain accurate inventory and material transaction records.
• Review the schedule to ensure raw materials are available when needed and build forward-looking MO release plan to maintain build schedule.
• Highlight critical parts and issues that could keep operations from meeting the MPS.
• Champion the mission, values, and culture of the team in every interaction across manufacturing and planning.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Minimum of 3 years of demonstrated experience in production planning.
• Working knowledge of MRP and MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems.
