Job Details

Made2Manage ERP Configuration & Manufacturing Planning/Scheduling Consultant
Waukegan, IL area initially | Transition to North County San Diego, CA

Be the hands-on expert who assesses, fixes, configures and optimizes a Made2Manage manufacturing environment—from ERP planning and scheduling through shop-floor execution and implementation.

This is not an ERP support or end-user role. We need someone who can assess → diagnose → configure → implement → validate → optimize → train → establish sustainable processes.

What You'll Do
  • Assess the current Made2Manage environment, including MRP/MPS, BOMs, routings, work centers, calendars, capacity, lead times, job/work orders and shop-floor processes.
  • Identify whether issues are related to ERP configuration, master data, business processes or system limitations.
  • Make or lead hands-on corrections to ERP planning and scheduling configuration.
  • Improve production planning, scheduling, job prioritization, sequencing, capacity visibility and schedule accuracy.
  • Evaluate master data and planning parameters affecting MRP and production performance.
  • Improve work-order/work-ticket flow and shop-floor execution.
  • Work directly with Supply Chain, Operations and IT to redesign and implement improved processes.
  • Test and validate system changes and ensure the new processes work in the real manufacturing environment.
  • Assess whether Made2Manage can meet the company's scheduling requirements or whether an APS/finite-capacity scheduling solution is needed.
  • Define requirements, evaluate potential scheduling tools, support vendor evaluations and recommend the right solution.
  • Train users and establish sustainable ownership, governance and processes.
  • Provide a roadmap for continued improvement across Gurnee, IL and ultimately Vista, CA.
What We’re Looking For

Required:

  • Hands-on experience configuring, implementing or optimizing a manufacturing ERP system.
  • Strong experience with production planning, production scheduling and MRP/MPS.
  • Experience with BOMs, routings, work centers, capacity, calendars, work orders and manufacturing master data.
  • Experience diagnosing both ERP/system configuration and manufacturing process issues.
  • Experience working directly with manufacturing operations, supply chain and IT.
  • Strong background in discrete manufacturing, preferably make-to-order, engineer-to-order, job-shop or mixed-mode environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to personally execute system/process changes, not simply make recommendations.
Strongly Preferred
  • Direct Made2Manage / Aptean Made2Manage experience.
  • Experience with APS, Advanced Planning & Scheduling, finite-capacity or constraint-based scheduling.
  • Experience selecting, implementing or integrating scheduling solutions with an ERP.
  • Experience with shop-floor execution, dispatching, work tickets or paperless manufacturing.
  • ERP migration, data cleanup or master-data governance experience.
  • Experience training users and establishing long-term process ownership.
The Ideal Candidate

We’re looking for someone who has actually taken a manufacturing organization through the process of understanding what’s wrong, fixing the ERP/processes, implementing the solution and making it sustainable.

A bit about us

We are a growing U.S. manufacturing organization focused on high-volume production, automation, and continuous improvement across our manufacturing operations. We are investing in our planning, scheduling, and ERP capabilities to improve shop-floor execution, visibility, and scalability across multiple locations.

Why join us?
  • High-impact opportunity to own a manufacturing ERP and planning/scheduling transformation
  • Hands-on project with direct visibility to Supply Chain, Operations, IT, and Finance leadership
  • Opportunity to assess, configure, implement, validate, and optimize the manufacturing ERP environment
  • Help shape the future planning, scheduling, and shop-floor execution strategy across two locations
  • Competitive base salary and overall compensation package
  • 401(k) with generous company match
  • Full benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision
  • Generous PTO, vacation, sick, and holiday schedule
  • Life Insurance coverage
