Why Techmer PM?

We are Techmer PM - the world's foremost materials design firm, creating custom polymers that make up essential products. Through our long-standing partnerships with processors, original equipment manufacturers, and product designers, we've worked for decades to tackle manufacturing and business challenges through sustainable, future-minded solutions.

Position Summary

Techmer PM is seeking an experienced Manager, Production Planning to lead the end-to-end production planning and scheduling function across a complex multi-asset, multi-site batch manufacturing environment. This role is responsible for translating customer demand into executable production plans that optimize on-time delivery, manufacturing capacity, batch size, production sequencing, changeovers, raw material availability, inventory levels, and overall plant efficiency.

The Manager, Production Planning will work closely with Production, Sales, Customer Service, Procurement, Quality, Process Engineering, Technology, and Supply Chain teams to balance customer requirements with manufacturing capabilities and operational constraints.

Success in this role requires the ability to continuously evaluate and make trade-offs between customer priorities, capacity constraints, material availability, equipment capability, product compatibility, changeover requirements, inventory levels, and manufacturing costs.

Key Responsibilities

Integrated Production Planning

Develop and execute integrated production plans that translate customer demand into optimized batch-production schedules.
Balance line capacity, production rates, batch sizes, labor availability, maintenance requirements, and raw material supply.
Optimize production sequencing to reduce product and color changeovers, cleaning requirements, scrap, downtime, and other schedule-related losses.
Drive improvements in schedule adherence and operational efficiency.

Scheduling Strategy & Prioritization

Establish scheduling priorities and decision-making rules that balance customer service with manufacturing efficiency.
Ensure planners build schedules that align with preferred production lines, manufacturing requirements, product restrictions, and operational capabilities.
Continuously evaluate capacity utilization and opportunities to improve throughput.

Leadership & Talent Development

Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing team of Production Planners, Schedulers, and Scheduling Coordinators.
Establish clear roles, expectations, and standard work processes.
Develop team capabilities in planning, ERP utilization, analytical problem solving, prioritization, and manufacturing operations knowledge.
Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Disruption Response & Recovery

Lead response and recovery efforts for supply chain and production disruptions.
Develop contingency plans and rapidly re-prioritize production when impacted by:
Equipment failures
Raw material shortages
Quality issues
Labor constraints
Urgent customer requirements
Coordinate cross-functional responses to minimize service disruptions.

SIOP & Business Planning

Support the monthly Sales, Inventory, and Operations Planning (SIOP) process.
Provide accurate capacity, inventory, and production data.
Identify potential operational constraints and recommend solutions to support business objectives.

ERP & Planning Systems Ownership

Serve as the functional owner of production-planning processes within ERP and planning systems.
Establish master-data standards and maintain data integrity.
Identify opportunities to automate manual planning activities and improve system functionality.
Partner with IT and business stakeholders to enhance planning tools and processes.

Performance Visibility & Continuous Improvement

Develop and maintain dashboards, reporting, and KPIs related to planning performance.
Monitor schedule adherence, OTIF performance, lead times, production efficiency, and capacity utilization.
Identify opportunities to reduce changeovers, improve scheduling effectiveness, and enhance overall manufacturing performance.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Success in this role will be measured through:

On-Time Delivery (OTD) / On-Time In-Full (OTIF)
Schedule Adherence
Past-Due Orders
Customer Requested Date Attainment
Production Schedule Stability
Capacity Utilization
Changeover Frequency and Changeover Hours
Planned vs. Actual Production Rates
Expedite and Emergency Schedule Changes
Material-Related Schedule Disruptions
Inventory and Work-In-Process (WIP) Performance
Planning-Related Downtime
ERP and Order Accuracy

Education & Experience

Required

Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations Management, Business, Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and manufacturing experience.
7+ years of progressive experience in production planning, scheduling, supply chain, or manufacturing operations.
Proven ability to lead, coach, and develop Production Planners, Schedulers, and/or Scheduling Coordinators.
Demonstrated experience in made-to-order, batch-process, or high-mix manufacturing environments.
Strong knowledge of ERP/MRP systems and production scheduling methodologies.
Experience managing constrained-capacity production schedules.
Demonstrated ability to analyze complex operational requirements and make sound prioritization decisions.

Preferred

3+ years of leadership or supervisory experience.
Experience in plastics, compounding, chemicals, or other process/batch manufacturing environments.
