The Manufacturing Coordinator is the information link between Program Management, Manufacturing, Purchasing, Quality, and Estimating. This role converts approved customer and program requirements into accurate ERP records and production documentation so work can be reviewed, released, scheduled, purchased, built, and verified with confidence.

Working primarily in Pro Shop, the Manufacturing Coordinator creates and maintains parts, routers, and work orders; supports contract review and production release; controls manufacturing information; and helps teams resolve missing, conflicting, or outdated data before it affects delivery or quality.

• Estimator: creates and documents the manufacturing strategy and cost basis at quote stage.
• Program Manager: adds contract requirements after award.
• Manufacturing Manager: creates the production plan.
• Manufacturing Coordinator: implements the approved router in Pro Shop.
• The Estimator supports clarification and handoff, but does not own released production planning or final router creation.

Parts, routers, and work orders are accurate, complete, current, and ready when production needs them; every department can rely on the same information.

Contract-review and production-release requirements are completed consistently, with open issues and delivery risks identified and resolved early.

Documentation changes remain controlled and traceable, supporting AS9100 compliance, audit readiness, and clear accountability.

Internal customers view the Manufacturing Coordinator as responsive, organized, accurate, and dependable, and recurring issues lead to practical improvements.
