Job Overview

As a Demand Planner at ISC, you'll turn customer demand into production and component requirements that keep work moving from order through shipment. You'll schedule orders, manage changing priorities and constraints, create component demand in our planning systems, and release work orders to the production floor. Your planning decisions directly impact production flow, on-time delivery, and customer commitments.

You'll work closely with Account Managers, Buyers, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Warehouse, and Production to keep plans moving forward. This is a hands‑on role in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment where customer requirements, engineering changes, BOMs, and component needs can change quickly. Success requires strong planning skills, clear communication, and a willingness to work directly with the people building our products.

What You'll Do:

• Own production planning and scheduling for assigned customers and/or product lines, balancing customer requirements, material availability, production needs, and changing priorities.
• Translate new customer orders and demand into production schedules and continuously update schedules as requirements and constraints change.
• Create and maintain component demand in the MRP/ERP system based on customer requirements, production plans, and material needs.
• Release production work orders to the shop floor and monitor progress to help keep production on schedule.
• Work closely with Buyers to identify and manage material constraints that could impact production schedules or customer delivery.
• Follow up with Production Leads, Quality, Warehouse, and other teams to understand work order status and address issues affecting the plan.
• Respond to BOM, routing, engineering change, rework, RMA, and other product or process changes that affect production plans.
• Partner with Manufacturing Engineering and Quality when engineering changes, inspections, rework, or other issues require adjustments to the production plan.
• Keep Account Managers informed of production status, schedule changes, and potential issues that may affect customer deliveries.
• Use M3, LeanDNA , Excel, SharePoint, Outlook, Teams, and other planning tools to manage schedules, track demand, and monitor production status.
• Identify potential scheduling gaps, material shortages, and other risks early and work with the appropriate teams to address them.
• Look for opportunities to improve planning processes, communication, and coordination across the organization.
• Perform other duties as assigned in support of business needs.
