Key Responsibilities

• Production Planning and Scheduling: Manage the demand forecasts, and planning process, aligning customer requirements with material availability, manufacturing lead times, tooling, and operation sequencing. Maintain schedule integrity, adjust schedules in response to changes in demand, capacity, or priorities, and coordinate changes that support customer delivery commitments.

Partner closely with manufacturing leadership through regular floor coordination to assess schedule performance, address bottlenecks, and develop recovery plans while maintaining achievable workloads.
• Purchasing and Material Readiness: Support the purchasing team in achieving supplier delivery commitments and material readiness for on-time production starts. Ensure buyers have the information, resources, and cross-functional support needed to perform their responsibilities effectively. Monitor material risks and supplier performance, remove barriers, and drive escalated shortages, discrepancies, and outside-processing delays to resolution.
