Lead weekly production and schedule alignment forums

Maintain integrity of planning parameters, including lead times, lot sizing, and routing accuracy

Support SIOP alignment by ensuring execution plans reflect approved demand and capacity assumptions

Develop dashboards and performance metrics that increase visibility to schedule health

Identify root causes of expediting, instability, and rework, and implement sustainable countermeasures

Drive continuous improvement initiatives that reduce manual touchpoints and increase system trust

Analyze supplier and procurement performance trends and partner on corrective actions where needed

Utilize standard work and continuous improvement tools to reduce waste, cost, and variability

Uphold the highest standards of integrity in all supplier and internal interactions

Demonstrate sound judgment in decision-making and appropriate escalation when alignment is needed

Increased confidence in planning signals

Reduced schedule volatility and firefighting

Improved on-time delivery performance

Measurable reduction in manual overrides

What You BringBachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Business, or related field preferred

5+ years of production planning, scheduling, or supply chain experience in manufacturing

Strong working knowledge of Oracle EBS and/or Oracle ASCP
