This position is responsible for developing integrated production plans, coordinating with cross-functional teams, and resolving capacity and material constraints.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

+ Develop, manage, and optimize master production schedules to ensure alignment with customer demand, capacity constraints, inventory targets, and material availability across multiple value streams.

+ Translate forecast and customer orders into executable build plans and time phased MRP signals within the ERP system (Infor LN preferred), ensuring clarity of demand at the work order and component level.

+ Lead cross-functional production readiness reviews for new product introductions (NPIs), engineering change orders (ECOs), or build-to-stock transitions. Identify impacts to lead times, tooling, routings, or floor layout.

+ Proactively identify and resolve capacity bottlenecks, material shortages, or labor imbalances by collaborating with Manufacturing, Procurement, Quality, and Engineering to generate mitigation plans.

+ Balance strategic and tactical planning horizons: drive weekly execution while supporting quarterly outlook and annual capacity planning.

+ Create and maintain visual planning tools and dashboards (Excel, Birst BI or equivalent) to communicate backlog risk, line capacity utilization, schedule adherence, and labor availability. Evolve tools and business processes along with the significant growth the business will experience.

+ Participate in daily Tier 2/3 production meetings, escalating blockers and championing schedule execution. Represent planning in weekly Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning (SI&OP) meetings.

+ Maintain alignment between MRP-generated priorities and shop floor execution, using dispatch lists, Gemba walks, and weekly look-ahead meetings to ensure build sequence, kitting, and line readiness.

+ Model what-if scenarios to support decision-making for alternate builds, expedited orders, or shift changes. Recommend adjustments to batch size, run rate, or shift pattern when constraints emerge.

+ Support inventory reduction initiatives by analyzing WIP velocity, lead times, reorder points, and component availability in high-dollar or long-lead categories.

+ Champion a culture of accountability, compliance, transparency, and continuous improvement across the production planning team and its interfaces with procurement, customer service, and operations. Ensure all planning complies with Precipart’s quality system, ISO 13485 standards, and internal control procedures.

+ Responsible for conforming with the company’s quality management system requirements, as well as contributing to its overall effectiveness, and the ultimate goals of customer satisfaction, product compliance and ethical practices/behavior.
