Job Description:

Production Scheduler – Kennesaw, GA

Role Purpose

The Detailed Scheduler owns short- to mid-term **finite scheduling** and short-interval control for one or more manufacturing areas. You will translate the consensus demand signal and supply constraints into an executable, sequenced production schedule that maximizes service, minimizes cost and changeovers, and respects capacity, quality, and safety constraints. This role leads the daily/weekly S&OE cadence, drives cross-functional alignment (Operations, Quality, Maintenance, Procurement, Customer Service), and continuously improves planning data, master data, and scheduling practices.

Key Responsibilities

Finite Scheduling & Shop-Floor Execution

+ Build, maintain, and publish **constraint-based, time-phased schedules** across lines/units/tanks, respecting labor, equipment, tooling, sanitation/allergen, tankage, test/hold, and maintenance windows.

+ Sequence campaigns intelligently to reduce **changeovers and extended cleans,** while protecting shelf-life and COA/test release requirements.

+ Convert MPS/MRP and customer priorities into a daily/weekly run plan; manage **time fences** , firming logic, and rescheduling rules.

+ Monitor execution (plan vs. actual); drive **schedule adherence** and **plan attainment** ; run short-interval control and exception recovery.

S&OE Leadership (Short-Term Integrated Planning)

+ **Lead the daily and weekly meetings** with Operations, Quality, Maintenance, and Materials; surface risks, make trade-offs, and drive decisions.

+ Proactively manage expedites, supply interruptions, QC holds, and equipment downtime; align on recovery plans and communicate clearly to stakeholders.

+ Prepare and present executive-ready S&OE summaries (service risk, capacity utilization, throughput, top exceptions, actions/owners/dates).

Materials, Inventory & Master Data

+ Ensure material availability for the schedule: review **MRP exceptions** , action PO dates/expedites, validate safety stock, MOQ, lead times.

+ Maintain and improve **planning/master data** (routings, rates, changeover matrices, lot sizing, calendars, BOMs, yields, scrap, QC durations).

+ Balance inventory objectives with service and efficiency: manage WIP, staging, and finished goods targets for key customers.

Quality, Compliance & Customer Communication

+ Integrate **testing/COA** and release time into the schedule; coordinate with QA/LIMS for sampling, test queues, and disposition timing.

+ Communicate **customer delay risk** and recovery ETA with clarity and speed; ensure one source of truth across Customer Service and Sales.

+ Adhere to **site safety and quality procedures** (GMP and site policies) and escalate risk promptly.

Continuous Improvement & Capability Building

+ Identify and execute improvements in scheduling logic, data quality, and cross-functional workflows; standardize playbooks and visual boards.

+ Partner with Ops to reduce changeover time, increase **OEE/throughput** , and stabilize cycle times; quantify impact (service, cost, inventory).

+ Coach peers on system use, planning fundamentals, and S&OE behaviors.

Required Qualifications

+ **Bachelor’s degree required** ; Supply Chain, Operations Management, Business, or Engineering preferred.

+ **Experience:** **2–5 years** in production planning/scheduling within a manufacturing environment (multi-line, batch/continuous preferred).

+ Demonstrated expertise in **finite scheduling** , sequencing/campaign planning, and constraint management.

+ Proven ability to **lead cross-functional meetings** , influence without authority, and drive decision-making under time pressure.

+ Solid understanding of **MRP** , capacity planning (RCCP vs. finite), changeover matrices, and master data governance.

+ Strong communication skills—able to translate complex constraints into clear, actionable plans for senior leaders and shop-floor teams.

Skills & Tools

+ Advanced Excel; experience with **Power BI/Tableau** , and planning systems (SAP IBP, Kinaxis, OMP, etc.).

+ Ability to simplify complex analytics into actionable insights and clear recommendations.

+ Strong critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills under pressure.

Leadership Behaviors

+ “We help each other thrive”:

+ Provide support and training across business functions related to the Consensus Demand Planning process, including the link to the S&OP and S&OE processes

+ Demonstrate Customer focus (internal and external as needed)

+ “ We create the environment for diversity, equity and inclusion to strengthen us":

+ Demonstrate cross-functional collaboration skills

+ Ability to listen intently and make room for different points of view to influence decisions

What Success Looks Like

+ Schedule adherence ≥ target and sustained improvement in plan attainment for key value streams.

+ Changeover time reduced; improved capacity utilization and throughput without compromising safety or quality.

+ Expedites and last-minute reschedules materially reduced; clearer, faster communication on exceptions and recovery plans.

+ Master data accuracy significantly improved (rates, yields, changeovers, calendars); fewer MRP exceptions.

+ Stable, decision-oriented S&OE cadence with visible actions/owners/dates and measurable service/inventory outcomes.

Physical Demands:

+ This position requires the ability to work in a variety of conditions such as an office environment and indoors/outdoors, as well as physical demands such as standing, kneeling, and sitting for prolonged periods of time. Must be able to operate a computer and other relevant office equipment for prolonged periods. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

+ The employee must occasionally lift and/or move up to 25 pounds.

Work Environment:

+ The noise level in the work environment is usually moderate. Occasionally, the employee may be exposed to loud machine noise.
