Production Planner

About the role

Why This Role Matters

The Production Planner converts inventory requirements, material availability, and production capacity into executable short- and long-range production plans. This role owns the production schedule, maintains a rolling capacity outlook, ensures work orders are ready for execution, and coordinates the resolution of issues that could delay manufacturing.

Working across Integrated Planning, Production, Procurement, Quality, Engineering, and Warehouse Operations, the Production Planner provides the visibility and recommendations needed to keep production on schedule and anticipate future capacity needs.

What You'll Do

• Develop, maintain, and communicate a rolling four-week production schedule based on inventory requirements, material availability, available capacity, planning-system recommendations, and business priorities.
• Determine production sequencing and adjust schedules as priorities, materials, capacity, or operating conditions change.
• Develop and maintain a rolling 12-month capacity plan using forecasted requirements, labor availability, production rates, cycle times, material readiness, and operating assumptions; identify capacity gaps or underutilization and recommend schedule, staffing, overtime, or priority changes.
• Monitor production performance against planned rates and update capacity assumptions, planning parameters, and recovery actions as operating conditions change.
• Create, release, update, and monitor work orders, confirming Clear to Build readiness by verifying materials, approved documentation, specifications, and required resources are available.
• Coordinate with Production, Procurement, Quality, Engineering, and Warehouse Operations to resolve shortages, holds, deviations, rework requirements, documentation gaps, transaction errors, and other production constraints.
• Review production output, component consumption, scrap, work-order variances, and inventory discrepancies, and track performance measures including schedule adherence, production attainment, work-order stability, aging work orders, and capacity utilization.
• Maintain accurate planning data, procedures, and standard work, and recommend improvements to production flow, inventory accuracy, reporting, and planning processes.

• Experience creating, releasing, updating, and monitoring work orders in an ERP or manufacturing system.
• Working knowledge of material requirements planning, bills of material, inventory transactions, manufacturing capacity, and production workflows.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate constraints, competing priorities, and practical production alternatives.
• Strong communication skills, attention to detail, Excel proficiency, and experience using ERP, inventory, planning, or manufacturing systems.

Preferred

• Experience in a regulated manufacturing environment, such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or consumer health products.
