- We're a growing Salt Lake City-area manufacturer of nutraceutical and dietary supplement products, helping bring health and wellness products from production through finished goods for our customers. It's a fast-moving manufacturing environment where priorities can change, customer commitments matter, and Production, Supply Chain, Operations, and customer-facing teams have to stay closely connected. If you're a Production Planner or Master Scheduler who's ready for more ownership, this could be a great next step. We're looking for a Master Planner who will own the Master Production Schedule and have a real voice in deciding what gets produced, when it gets produced, and how changing demand, materials, capacity, and customer priorities affect the plan. You'll be right in the middle of the operation—keeping production and customer commitments aligned, spotting potential bottlenecks before they become problems, and working across teams to keep orders moving and deliveries on track. This is a highly visible position working across Supply Chain, Production, Customer Account Management, and Operations. You'll follow orders from receipt through completion, anticipate potential bottlenecks, adjust priorities as needs change, and make sure teams have the information they need to deliver on customer commitments.
