GTI Fabrication
Posted about 7 hours ago
The Master Production Scheduler will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and executing the master production schedule (MPS), ensuring alignment across customer demand, materials availability, production capacity, and shop-floor execution systems. This individual will own every detail of what GTI produces—across materials, labor, equipment, and timelines—while balancing efficiency, cost, and delivery commitments.
This role requires a highly analytical, detail-driven leader who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth manufacturing environments and has experience coordinating across engineering, procurement, supply chain, and plant operations.
### Key ResponsibilitiesMaster Scheduling & Production Planning
- Develop, publish, and manage the Master Production Schedule (MPS) to meet customer demand and internal capacity constraints.
- Translate sales forecasts, customer orders, and inventory targets into actionable production schedules.
- Synchronize materials, labor, equipment, and MES/ERP data to support on-time delivery and minimize bottlenecks.
- Coordinate with Engineering on new product introductions (NPI) to ensure seamless production ramp-ups.
- Conduct capacity analysis for labor, machines, and work centers across multiple production lines.
- Model and forecast mid/long-term production requirements to support plant expansions or equipment investments.
- Align plant-level scheduling with broader supply chain, MES, and logistics strategies.
- Utilize Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to track real-time production data, machine utilization, and labor performance.
- Integrate MES with ERP/MRP systems (NetSuite preferred, SAP/Oracle/JD Edwards acceptable) to maintain end-to-end visibility of orders, materials, and schedule execution.
- Ensure schedule adherence by monitoring shop-floor performance through MES dashboards and reports.
- Partner with IT, engineering, and operations to configure MES workflows for new products and plant processes.
- Partner with procurement and supply chain teams to ensure materials availability supports scheduled production.
- Identify and resolve shortages, excesses, or disruptions by proactively re-prioritizing schedules.
- Maintain ERP and MES data integrity to support accurate planning and execution.
- Serve as the central communication hub for production priorities—working closely with Engineering, Quality, Procurement, and Plant Operations.
- Lead weekly S&OP (Sales & Operations Planning) or production review meetings to align all stakeholders.
- Provide visibility into schedule performance, risks, and opportunities.
- Track KPIs such as on-time delivery, production attainment, first-pass yield, inventory turns, and MES-driven efficiency metrics.
- Drive schedule adherence and create mitigation plans for deviations.
- Champion Lean, Six Sigma, and MES-enabled continuous improvement initiatives to reduce lead times and increase throughput.
