Eaton’s ES AMER ARS division is currently seeking a Production Scheduler for our Omaha, Nebraska operations.
The Production Scheduler is responsible for translating the master production schedule into executable daily and weekly production schedules. This role works closely with Operations, Supply Chain, Procurement, Customer Service, Engineering, and other plant functions to ensure production priorities are aligned with customer commitments, material availability, capacity, and operational constraints.
The Production Scheduler owns execution of the short-term production schedule and plays a key role in maintaining schedule integrity, managing work-in-process (WIP), identifying constraints, and driving actions necessary to achieve on-time delivery, inventory, productivity, and customer service objectives.
In this role you will:
• Develop and maintain daily and weekly production schedules based on the Master Production Schedule (MPS), customer requirements, available capacity, and material availability.
• Level-load production across available resources to optimize throughput, reduce manufacturing cycle time, and support on-time delivery.
• Establish and communicate production priorities across manufacturing operations.
• Monitor WIP and production performance daily and adjust schedules as constraints or priorities change.
• Identify material, capacity, engineering, or operational constraints that put customer commitments at risk and drive timely escalation and resolution.
• Re-sequence production orders when necessary to minimize disruption to the MPS and customer delivery commitments.
• Partner closely with Procurement and Materials teams to align production requirements with material availability.
• Maintain production scheduling and planning parameters in SAP, ensuring system information accurately reflects current production priorities and requirements.
• Support MRP execution and maintain the integrity of production orders, dates, quantities, and planning signals.
• Partner with Operations leadership to ensure the production schedule is realistic, executable, and aligned with available resources.
• Participate in Supply & Operations Execution (S&OE) processes and communicate key scheduling risks, constraints, and recovery actions.
• Analyze schedule attainment, past-due orders, WIP, lead times, capacity, and other scheduling metrics to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Support continuous improvement activities focused on production flow, scheduling effectiveness, inventory reduction, and delivery performance.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
Required Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution.

• Experience with MPS, MRP, capacity planning, inventory management, production scheduling, and materials replenishment.
• Experience supporting SIOP/S&OP and S&OE processes.
• Experience using manufacturing data and analytics to manage schedule attainment, constraints, and production priorities.
Skills:
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate data into production priorities and actions.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing flow, capacity, material constraints, WIP, and production dependencies.
• Ability to manage changing priorities while maintaining focus on customer commitments.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to coordinate effectively across Operations, Supply Chain, Procurement, Engineering, and Customer Service.
