Position Summary

The Master Production Planner is responsible for translating customer demand and business priorities into an executable production plan that supports customer commitments, efficient manufacturing flow, material availability, and overall operational performance.

This role serves as the primary planning link between Sales Operations, Production, Procurement, Inventory, Quality, and other supporting functions. The Master Production Planner receives validated demand requirements from Sales Operations and develops production schedules based on customer priorities, available inventory, incoming product, material availability, production capacity, process requirements, and operational constraints.

• Identify material shortages, timing gaps, or supply risks that may affect scheduled production and work with Procurement to develop recovery plans.
