  • Establish and maintain the scheduling system within the ERP on a consistent basis.
  • Verify the schedule against the status of required materials, tools, artwork, and equipment to ensure that production can proceed as planned.
  • Communicate frequently with customer service and supervisors regarding new jobs that may necessitate realigning the schedule to accommodate customer requirements.
  • Accelerate operations that hinder schedules and modify schedules to address unforeseen circumstances.
  • Implement lean methodologies through participation in Kaizen events, improvement initiatives, and lean projects to support corporate goals.
  • Ensure adherence to 5S standards through ongoing sustainment activities.
  • Lead value stream mapping initiatives for designated production areas to identify inventory/process stagnation, establish standard store targets, and enhance overall lead times.
  • Perform additional duties and responsibilities as assigned.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree (Supply Chain preferred) or 7+ years of experience in production planning/scheduling.

  • Proven organizational capabilities.
  • Ability to perform well under pressure and adapt to changes effectively.
