We are hiring a Production Planner!
Are you an organized, data-driven planning professional with a knack for optimizing manufacturing workflows? We are looking for a full-time Production Planner to join our Operations team. Reporting to the General Manager, you will own the Master Production Plan—ensuring our parts and product groups move seamlessly through every station from engineering to final assembly, on time and to specification.
Your role will be responsible for:
- Developing master production schedules: Build and maintain detailed production schedules across all operational processes and work centers while keeping work order statuses updated in real time.
- Optimizing shop floor throughput: Sequence work orders to maximize efficiency, honor customer delivery dates, and minimize bottlenecks, changeovers, and work-in-process (WIP).
- Managing shop floor disruptions: Respond immediately to engineering changes, customer reschedules, expedites, quality rejects, rework, machine downtime, and material shortages.
- Communicating operational impacts: Re-sequence the shop floor quickly when disruptions occur, clearly communicating changes and delivery impacts to Supervisors, Quality, Engineering, Purchasing, and Shipping.
- Leading production meetings: Facilitate daily production and planning meetings, proactively escalating delivery risks alongside viable strategic options.
- Analyzing capacity and constraints: Run finite-capacity and load analyses by work center to flag capacity or labor constraints early and recommend actionable solutions. Tracking performance metrics: Produce, analyze, and publish reports on key data points, including on-time delivery, productivity metrics, schedule adherence, and weekly/YTD schedule attainment.
- Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with Sales and Customer Service teams to anticipate demand, validate material and tool availability,
and align schedules with sales orders.
What you need to succeed in this role:
- 3+ years of experience in production planning, scheduling, inventory control, or supply chain management in a manufacturing environment.
- High proficiency in using ERP/MRP software (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, JobBoss, MieTrak) to manage material availability and production scheduling.
- Solid understanding of sheet metal and machining workflows: CNC routing, CNC machining, forming, straightening, deburring, assembly and heat treatment.
- Microsoft Excel skills (e.g., VLOOKUPs, pivot tables) for analyzing rough-cut capacity plans and tracking weekly/YTD schedule attainment metrics.
- Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, process sheets, shop orders, and project budgets.
- Proven ability to create detailed weekly production schedules that balance raw material inventory, customer expectations, and operational efficiency.
- Strong communication skills to collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Customer Service, Operations, Supply Chain, and external peer partners.
