Participate in daily production walks to identify and address issues impacting the MPS or shipping commitments.
Generate and maintain monthly raw material requirements plans, collaborating with Purchasing to manage cost, lead time, and inventory optimization.
Work closely with Purchasing and Shipping/Receiving to ensure timely availability of raw materials, hardware, and outsourced services.
Manage tooling needs, including requisitions, inventory tracking, minimum stock levels, and returns of excess/obsolete items.
Adjust schedules in response to engineering changes, customer priority shifts, or disruptions (e.g., machine downtime, material delays).
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Operations Management, Business, or related field.
3+ years of experience in production/manufacturing planning within a job shop or high-mix machining environment.
Proficiency with ERP/MES systems (Epicor and/or ProShop experience preferred).

Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, with the ability to analyze data and build reports to support scheduling decisions.
Strong communication and analytical skills; able to align diverse stakeholders in a fast-changing environment.
Preferred Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline (Engineering strongly preferred).
Familiarity with AS9100 standards.
