  • Available labor, skills, and equipment capacity
  • Supplier/subcontractor constraints
  • Planned downtime and working calendar
  • Dynamic repair scope and in-process findings
• Actively manage priorities and reschedule past-due work to protect TAT and on-time delivery.
• Provide input to MRP and material planning to ensure availability of repair materials, replacement parts, and outside processing.
• Monitor execution vs. plan, identify bottlenecks and flow constraints, and drive corrective actions with Operations.
