They analyze customer orders, production capacity, and inventory levels to create detailed schedules for production teams.

Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems, production scheduling software, and Excel is typically required, along with certifications like APICS CPIM being advantageous. Excellent organizational skills, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for coordinating with cross-functional teams and managing unexpected changes. These skills ensure efficient production workflows, minimize delays, and optimize resource utilization to meet business goals.
