**** The Programme Planning community at the Airbus Broughton site (near Chester) is a highly skilled team responsible for planning wing manufacture for all Airbus Commercial aircraft. The team ensures that Broughton has the capacity and capability to deliver the Airbus wing production requirements, in accordance with aircraft commercial delivery dates.
**** We work closely with the Operations team to provide manufacturing build schedules, resource plans, production build reporting, and scenario analysis.
**** The department is key to providing the senior management team with the data required to enable them to make important strategic and tactical decisions.

Programme Planning is responsible for producing and maintaining the long term MPS (Master Production Schedule) for all the products across in the Broughton plant, using build rates based on customer demand.
**** The scheduling of parts and materials for production is generated through this process. Tactical build plans are also created, which are used to optimise production in the shorter term. It is the Programme Planning team who monitors the adherence to the build plan, whilst ensuring it is achievable.

* **** Production & Scenario Optimisation:
** Drive the Master Production Schedule (MPS) by investigating complex scenarios, conducting capacity calculations, building recovery plans, and continuously monitoring demand to refine and optimise production build plans.**
* **** System & Process Modernisation:
** Support the rollout of new SAP versions through process definition, user testing, and issue resolution, while leveraging digital planning and data tools (SAP, Qlik, Google) to compile KPIs for business reporting.**
* **** High-Visibility Stakeholder Engagement:
** Present, negotiate, and build strong strategic networks across all levels of the organisation—from the shop floor to senior management—within a diverse and inclusive team that values varied technical perspectives.
