How You Will Make an Impact:

As a Manufacturing Planner/Scheduler II, you will independently develop and maintain production schedules that balance customer demand, manufacturing capacity, material availability, and delivery commitments. You will use ERP/MRP data and cross-functional collaboration to identify constraints, adjust priorities, and improve scheduling accuracy, operational efficiency, and customer service.

Day in the Life:

• Develop, maintain, and adjust manufacturing schedules using ERP/MRP systems, demand forecasts, production priorities, lead times, and available resources to support customer delivery commitments.
• Evaluate capacity, labor, equipment, material availability, and inventory constraints; identify schedule risks and recommend practical adjustments to balance service, efficiency, and production requirements.
• Coordinate with Manufacturing, Materials Planning, Purchasing, Warehouse, Quality, and other partners to align schedules, communicate changes, and resolve production or supply constraints.
• Maintain accurate planning and scheduling data, including applicable bills of materials (BOMs), routings, planning parameters, and performance reports; analyze schedule adherence, capacity, and delivery trends.
• Identify and resolve routine-to-moderately complex scheduling issues using data and established procedures; escalate significant capacity, quality, or customer-delivery risks appropriately.
• Follow safety, cGMP, quality, company policies, and standard operating procedures to support compliant planning, scheduling, and documentation.
• Participate in and support Practical Process Improvement (PPI), Lean, and other continuous improvement activities that improve schedule reliability, production flow, resource utilization, and on-time delivery.
• Work collaboratively across teams, support knowledge sharing, complete required training, and perform other duties as assigned to support manufacturing and business operations.

• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with sound judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities independently.
• Strong written and verbal communication and collaboration skills to coordinate across functions, communicate schedule changes and risks, and support timely resolution.
• Ability to follow quality and documentation requirements and identify opportunities to improve scheduling processes and manufacturing efficiency.
