• Oversee Production Planning and Scheduling:
  Translate customer orders, forecasts, project requirements, and replenishment demand into production plans and schedules that support manufacturing capacity, customer priorities, and on-time delivery.
• Manage Schedule Execution and Recovery:
  Monitor schedule adherence, work in process, overdue jobs, bottlenecks, and completion dates. Identify the impact of demand changes, engineering revisions, material shortages, quality holds, and capacity constraints, coordinating corrective actions and communicating delivery risks.
• Coordinate Material Planning and Purchasing:
  Oversee MRP reviews, validate material requirements and need dates, and partner with Purchasing and suppliers to coordinate purchase orders, delivery schedules, phased shipments, and just-in-time material availability while balancing lead times, supply risks, and inventory levels.
