Original job description

Job Title: Production PlannerJob DescriptionThe Production Planner plays a key role in planning, scheduling, and releasing manufacturing work orders to meet customer demand, sales forecasts, and business priorities. This position ensures that materials, capacity, and resources are aligned to support on-time delivery while maintaining accurate production schedules in the ERP/MRP system. The role requires close collaboration with Production, Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering, Customer Service, and Sales to manage work-in-progress, resolve constraints, and support continuous improvement in an industrial manufacturing environment with strong exposure to aerospace and metals.

Responsibilities

Plan, schedule, and release manufacturing work orders based on customer demand, sales forecasts, material availability, production capacity, and business priorities.
Monitor and manage production work order status from release through completion, including movement of materials and work-in-progress throughout the production lifecycle.
Coordinate with Production, Purchasing, Warehouse, Logistics, Quality, Engineering, Customer Service, and Sales to align schedules, priorities, materials, resources, and customer commitments.
Track jobs through each stage of production to identify delays, bottlenecks, material shortages, quality holds, or other constraints that may impact on-time delivery.
Update and maintain production schedules in the ERP/MRP system and communicate schedule changes, priority shifts, and recovery plans to appropriate stakeholders.
Monitor inventory levels, safety stock, raw material availability, and component readiness to support production schedules and reduce shortages or downtime.
Respond to changes in customer demand, expedited requests, late jobs, production constraints, material rejections, or quality issues by adjusting schedules and escalating concerns as needed.
Collaborate with Quality and Engineering to support accurate bills of material, routings, documentation, travelers, certifications, and quality records aligned with job requirements.
Understand and apply approved material substitutions when necessary to support production continuity and prevent avoidable downtime.
Support daily production meetings by providing updates on key orders, schedule status, constraints, work-in-progress, late jobs, and delivery risks.
Interface with Customer Service and Sales regarding order status, customer changes, expedited requests, and potential delivery impacts.
Generate, maintain, and review reports and tracking tools related to on-time delivery, lead time, work-in-progress aging, schedule adherence, inventory discrepancies, and production flow.
Assist with inventory audits, ERP data accuracy, work order integrity, and corrective actions related to inventory or scheduling discrepancies.
Work closely with operations leadership, supply chain leadership, and other planners to align priorities, resource planning, and production execution.
Participate in continuous improvement initiatives focused on throughput, visibility, data accuracy, cost reduction, lead-time improvement, schedule adherence, and production control processes.
Serve as the voice of the customer within planning and production control activities to help ensure customer commitments are met.
Plan production at the machine level, managing orders as they move through specific equipment and ensuring schedules are executed on the shop floor.
Walk the manufacturing floor regularly after releasing schedules to perform check-ins, verify progress, and address any issues impacting production flow.

Essential Skills

13 years of experience in production planning, production control, scheduling, materials management, or a closely related role.
Hands-on experience with production planning and scheduling in an industrial manufacturing environment.
Experience working with ERP or MRP systems for planning, scheduling, and work order management (any ERP system is acceptable).
Intermediate to advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, and formulas.
Ability to develop and manage build schedules to support customer demand and production capacity.
Strong understanding of inventory, work-in-progress, and material flow in a manufacturing setting.
Ability to track jobs through multiple stages of production and identify delays, bottlenecks, and constraints.
Strong communication skills to coordinate effectively with Production, Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering, Customer Service, and Sales.
Ability to respond quickly to changes in demand, expedited orders, and production issues by adjusting schedules and priorities.
Attention to detail in maintaining accurate production schedules, bills of material, routings, and related documentation.
High level of ownership and accountability for on-time delivery and schedule adherence.
Comfort working in an industrial and metals-focused environment with regular interaction on the manufacturing floor.
