  • Maintain the accuracy of planning information within the ERP system, including item data, bills of materials, routings, lead times, and planning parameters.
  • Monitor inventory levels and recommend actions that support material availability while minimizing excess inventory.
  • Analyze production and planning data to identify trends, improve schedule adherence, and support operational decision-making.
  • Prepare planning reports and performance metrics to communicate schedule status and operational risks.
  • Participate in continuous improvement initiatives that enhance production planning processes, system accuracy, and overall operational efficiency.
  • Support inventory counts, audits, and other supply chain initiatives as required.

Qualifications

  • Post-secondary education in Supply Chain, Operations, Business, Engineering, or a related discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Experience in production planning, scheduling, or supply chain coordination within a manufacturing environment.
  • Working knowledge of ERP/MRP systems and production planning principles.
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing operations and production workflows.
  • Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office applications.
  • Professional supply chain certifications (such as APICS/ASCM CPIM) are considered an asset.

Core Competencies

  • Production planning and scheduling
  • Capacity and resource planning
  • ERP/MRP systems
  • Inventory planning and material management
  • Critical thinking and analytical problem solving
  • Organizational and time management skills
  • Effective communication and collaboration
  • Attention to detail and data accuracy

  • Continuous improvement and process optimization

Preferred Qualifications
