Master Scheduler

Develop and maintain daily and weekly production schedules for a high-mix manufacturing environment with frequent schedule changes. Prioritize production based on customer promise dates, revenue impact, engineering readiness, material availability, and manufacturing constraints. Continuously rebalance schedules as customer demand, engineering changes, supplier deliveries, and production issues evolve. Optimize production flow while minimizing work center congestion and excessive work-in-process. Coordinate closely with Engineering to ensure released drawings, bills of material, routings, and manufacturing documentation are complete before production release. Manage engineering change orders with minimal disruption to production schedules. Identify manufacturing bottlenecks using Theory of Constraints principles and balance constrained work centers to include fabrication, welding, machining, paint, assembly, and testing. Collaborate with Purchasing to proactively resolve shortages and supplier delays. Develop recovery plans for critical shortages without negatively impacting overall schedule performance. Train planners, production supervisors, and cross-functional users on ERP planning processes and audit ERP transactions to ensure schedule integrity. Reduce schedule volatility through improved planning disciplines and increase schedule adherence while maintaining flexibility for customer priorities.
