- Track schedule adherence, production performance, and inventory accuracy.
- Analyze trends to identify opportunities for efficiency, waste reduction, and improved planning accuracy.
Continuous Improvement
- Support initiatives to improve planning processes, capacity utilization, and throughput.
- Contribute to standard work development and documentation for planning workflows.
- Assist in evaluating new equipment, processes, or product launches from a planning perspective.
Qualifications
Required

- 2 to 5 years of production planning or scheduling experience in a manufacturing environment (food manufacturing preferred).
- Strong understanding of MRP/ERP systems and production workflows.
- Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
- Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast paced environment.
- Proficiency in Excel and data analysis.
Preferred
- Experience in food processing, CPG, or other regulated manufacturing environments.
- Familiarity with SQF, HACCP, or other food safety programs.
