You own the master schedule and the capacity plan, you decide when work hits the shop floor, and you're accountable for an inventory system that matches what's physically on the shelf. When customer demand and available capacity don't line up, you're the person who figures out how to close the gap without blowing the budget or the delivery date.

- Convert sales orders into realistic capacity plans, plant schedules, and supplier schedules
- Release work to the shop floor at the right time not early, not late

- Own monthly and annual production plans built off the annual budget and sales forecast
- Provide cumulative lead times and available capacity to Marketing and Contracts for quoting

Materials and inventory

- Manage requisition of direct materials
- Set and review planning rules: lead times, batch sizes, safety stock, shrinkage factors
- Run cycle counting, audits, and reorganization so system inventory matches physical inventory
- Own the layout and operation of stores and shipping
- Manage the impact of engineering changes on material

Tooling and reporting

- Maintain accurate status on all company- and customer-owned tooling, including removal and disposal of surplus tools
- Manage scrap reporting through the required customer and program reporting systems
- Deliver daily, weekly, and monthly reporting to plant management and corporate — MRP, requisitions, inventory, and operating-system metrics

Leading the team

- Lead the material planning, shipping, and receiving functions.

- Real management experience building and running effective teams
- Solid grounding in inventory, stores, shipping and receiving, cost accounting, and customer forecasting
