Manufacturing Scheduling Analyst

A day in this role

You start by reviewing customer demand and available capacity, then translate both into a clear daily and weekly build plan. With ERP/MRP open, you confirm materials, work orders, and BOM accuracy, and touch base with production, purchasing, maintenance, and customer service to make sure the shop floor has what it needs. As the day unfolds, you track progress, course-correct around downtime or shortages, and keep everyone aligned in the daily production meeting.

Before you wrap, you publish Excel-driven reports that highlight output, inventory positions, and capacity utilization—spotting patterns and opportunities to improve the flow.
