This role is essential to maintaining efficient factory operations, supporting programs that directly contribute to saving lives in the air.

The Production Planner plays a critical role in ensuring smooth factory operations by managing work order releases, monitoring work-in-process (WIP) inventory, and coordinating cross-functional efforts to meet production schedules.

+ Coordinate with quality, manufacturing, engineering, procurement, logistics, and warehouse teams to resolve material or production issues.

+ Investigate and address inventory imbalances, scrap, shrinkage, and usage discrepancies.

+ Support routing, scheduling, and storage of goods in coordination with traffic and warehouse personnel.

Qualifications You Must Have

+ Typically requires a University Degree and minimum 2 years of prior relevant experience **or** an Advanced Degree in a related field

Qualifications We Prefer

+ Background in production control, inventory management, or production planning.

+ Experience working in MRP systems (preferably SAP) to release work orders and track BOMs.

+ Skilled in resolving material shortages and coordinating with cross-functional teams on production priorities.

+ Familiarity with shop floor processes and troubleshooting day-to-day production challenges.

+ Continuous improvement mindset with exposure to lean manufacturing or CORE methodologies.
