Description

Master Scheduler Job Summary: We are seeking a highly analytical and execution-oriented Master Scheduler to serve as the planning leader for our manufacturing operations. This role goes beyond running MRP or managing materials; it owns end-to-end production planning and scheduling, drives SIOP execution, and establishes the data discipline required to support a successful ERP environment. The ideal candidate will lead the planning side of our ERP, connect demand to capacity and materials, own the Clear-to-Build process, and translate the master schedule into work center- and station-level execution on the production floor. This role operates cross-functionally across Sales, Engineering, Supply Chain, and Production, ensuring alignment to a single, executable plan in a dynamic, restart and scale-up manufacturing environment. Essential Duties: * Own and manage the master production schedule, aligning demand forecasts, capacity, materials, and operational constraints. * Lead SIOP execution end to end, connecting demand signals to capacity planning and material readiness. * Establish and enforce strong ERP data discipline, including BOMs, routings, lead times, calendars, and planning parameters. * Drive and own the Clear-to-Build process, ensuring schedules released to the floor are executable and supported by material and capacity. * Translate the master schedule into work center- and station-level execution, supporting production flow and floor-level accountability. * Serve as the planning lead for ERP implementation and stabilization, ensuring planning logic supports operational reality. * Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Engineering, Supply Chain, and Production to maintain alignment to a single, integrated plan. * Operate effectively in a restart and scale-up environment, making sound decisions despite imperfect data and shifting priorities. * Perform advanced data analysis to identify bottlenecks, constraints, and risks; proactively recommend and implement corrective actions. * Push back on infeasible commitments using data-driven analysis while balancing customer, operational, and business priorities. * Report key planning and scheduling KPIs to leadership and support continuous improvement initiatives. * Utilize advanced Excel and ERP reporting tools to support scenario planning and decision-making. Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: Required Knowledge * Deep understanding of production planning, master scheduling, and SIOP in a manufacturing environment. * Strong knowledge of ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, JD Edwards, or similar), including planning master data and scheduling logic. * Understanding of low-volume, high-mix manufacturing environments. * Familiarity with capacity planning, constraint management, and manufacturing execution workflows. * Knowledge of automotive OEM manufacturing standards and production processes. Skills & Abilities * Proven ability to lead planning functions, not just execute transactions. * Strong analytical judgment with the confidence to challenge assumptions and commitments using data. * Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, lookups, macros). * Excellent cross-functional communication and stakeholder management skills. * Ability to operate with urgency and clarity in ambiguous, fast-changing environments. * High energy, strong ownership mindset, and bias toward execution. Education, Experience, and/or Required Licenses: * Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Business, or a related field. * APICS certification (CPIM, CSCP) strongly preferred. * Minimum 5+ years of experience in production planning, master scheduling, or supply chain roles. * Experience in automotive OEM manufacturing strongly preferred. * Prior involvement in ERP implementations or major system transitions highly desirable. * Project management experience is a plus.
