Senior Production Planner

Overview

Resonetics Israel is seeking an experienced Production Planner who will own end-to-end production planning and control to support on-time, quality-compliant delivery. Translate customer demand and forecasts into feasible production plans, balancing material availability, labor and machine capacity, work-in-process, lead times and changing priorities. Proactively identify risks, resolve constraints and coordinate timely execution across functions. 

The role works closely with local functions and requires a hands-on professional with strong ownership and execution. 

Responsibilities

• Own production planning and control (PPC), including short- and longer-term schedules and factory production-resource planning. 

• Translate customer orders, demand forecasts and required delivery dates into daily, weekly and monthly production plans; monitor on-time delivery (OTD). 

• Build and maintain feasible capacity plans across production stages, considering available labor hours, machines, constraints, work centers and subcontractor lead times. 

• Open, release, schedule, monitor and close manufacturing work orders; review progress, WIP, actual versus planned output, and schedule adherence. 

• Run and interpret MRP in Priority ERP; identify material shortages, review planning parameters and recommend timely replenishment or purchase requisitions. 

• Use Priority and relevant planning tools to update schedules and planning data, where applicable; maintain reliable ERP master and transactional data. 

• Monitor inventory and raw-material issues before work-order closure; coordinate with warehouse and operations on discrepancies and availability. 

• Investigate bottlenecks, idle time, overtime needs and deviations from plan; conduct root-cause analysis and propose practical recovery actions. 

• Lead routine planning reviews with Production, Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering and other stakeholders; communicate trade-offs and escalation risks early. 

• Maintain planning reports and KPIs including OTD, capacity utilization, production volumes, material shortages and labor-hour variances. 

• Support continuous improvement in planning processes, MRP discipline, data quality and operational execution. 

• Proactively coordinate recovery plans for delayed customer orders and backlogs, clearly communicating delivery risks, alternatives and follow-up actions. 

• Coordinate planning impacts of quality holds, scrap, rework, engineering changes and new product introductions (NPI) with Quality, Engineering and Production. 

Required Qualifications

• At least 3–5 years of substantive, hands-on production planning / PPC experience in a complex manufacturing environment; demonstrated ownership of schedules and work orders (not only data entry).
• Industrial Engineering degree or practical-engineer qualification, or equivalent substantial planning experience.
• Strong ERP/MRP experience, including production work orders, material planning and shortage analysis; experience with Priority ERP strongly preferred.
• Advanced Excel skills (PivotTables, lookups, analysis and reporting); confident use of Office applications.
• Demonstrated capacity planning, resource prioritization, analytical problem-solving and ability to work across multiple production stages.
• Excellent Hebrew and strong working English, written and spoken.
• Independent, precise, collaborative and resilient under changing priorities; able to influence stakeholders without direct authority.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in medical-device, precision manufacturing or another regulated environment.
• Practical experience with Priority MRP and PLANIT scheduling / capacity-planning tools.
• Knowledge of quality holds, traceability, engineering changes, NPI and ISO 13485-related manufacturing controls.
• Experience with external subcontractors, finite capacity planning, Lean or continuous improvement.
• Exposure to manufacturing execution systems (MES), advanced planning tools or Power BI reporting.

Compensation

• The compensation for this role is competitive and will be based on experience and qualifications. The anticipated range is $xxx,xxx–$xxx,xxx.
• Our company policy is that we are unable to provide visa sponsorship. Candidates must already be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for sponsorship now or in the future.
