Production Scheduling Coordinator - Level II

DESCRIPTION

In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:  Build and maintain realistic production schedules that align customer demand with plant capacity, helping ensure on-time delivery without overloading operations.  Balance raw materials, WIP, and finished goods by working cross-functionally with Materials, Operations, and Customer Service to keep inventory flowing efficiently.  Anticipate and mitigate risks like downtime or material shortages, adjusting schedules proactively to minimize disruptions.  Take ownership of schedule performance, driving accountability across teams to improve schedule attainment and meet customer commitments.  Use data (bottlenecks, routing inefficiencies, Kanban gaps, etc.) to identify constraints and recommend practical process improvements.  Maintain high data accuracy by managing master data (BOMs, work centers, capabilities), strengthening planning reliability and execution.  Support quality outcomes by coordinating timely disposition of non-conforming materials and ensuring schedules reflect real production conditions.  Communicate clearly and consistently with cross-functional teams, enabling alignment, quick decision-making, and continuous improvement across the operation.

RESPONSIBILITIES

To be successful, you will need to consistently demonstrate the following:  Communicate clearly across teams and levels, tailoring how you share schedules, risks, and updates so planners, operations, and leadership can all act quickly and confidently.  Keep the customer at the center of every decision, ensuring plans, changes, and trade-offs protect delivery commitments and strengthen trust.  Stay results-driven by consistently meeting planning targets, even when facing constraints like capacity limits, supply shortages, or shifting demand.  Take ownership of outcomes by holding yourself and cross-functional partners accountable for execution, schedule adherence, and KPI performance.  Navigate complexity by analyzing large, sometimes conflicting data sets (demand signals, capacity, inventory, constraints) to make sound planning decisions.  Leverage the materials planning system as your primary tool, using exception messages, alerts, and root cause analysis to maintain accurate supply-demand alignment while supplementing with tools like Excel when needed.  Manage part changes effectively by implementing engineering updates (e.g., obsolescence or new releases) in a way that protects customer supply while minimizing excess or obsolete inventory.  Apply PFEP principles to ensure the right part is in the right place at the right time, aligning master data, material flow, and planning parameters across the supply chain.  Translate high-level demand into realistic capacity plans (RCCP and detailed capacity planning), identifying constraints early and negotiating solutions like overtime or added resources.  Own and continuously refine the master production schedule, ensuring it remains feasible, aligned with operations, and optimized for both efficiency and customer delivery.  Use KPIs to guide decisions, balancing trade-offs across service, inventory, and cost while understanding the downstream impact on the customer.  Embrace diverse perspectives and collaborate inclusively, using different viewpoints to strengthen planning decisions and overall team performance.
