The Production Planning Manager is responsible for planning within the local production facility including production planning, purchasing, and inventory planning.

  • Ensure planning assumptions (lead times, lot sizes, cycle times, safety stock) are accurate and maintained in planning systems.

Team Leadership & Development

  • Lead and develop a small team responsible for production scheduling, purchasing, and planning activities.
  • Establish clear roles, priorities, and performance expectations for the team.
  • Coach and mentor team members to strengthen planning capability, analytical rigor, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and data driven- decision making.

Purchasing & Material Coordination

  • Oversee purchasing and material planning activities to ensure raw materials and components support the production schedule.
  • Ensure timely procurement aligned with production requirements while managing inventory levels and working capital.
  • Coordinate closely with suppliers and internal stakeholders to resolve shortages, expedites, or supply disruptions.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Serve as the primary planning interface between manufacturing, supply chain, commercial, and corporate planning teams.
  • Support new business introductions, volume changes, and customer commitments by assessing capacity and scheduling feasibility.
  • Provide clear visibility and communication on schedule changes, risks, and trade-off's to plant and corporate leadership.

Performance Management & Continuous Improvement

  • Track and report key planning and execution of KPIs, including schedule adherence, service (OTIF), inventory, and capacity utilization.
  • Identify opportunities to improve planning processes, system usage, and schedule stability.
  • Lead or support continuous improvement initiatives related to planning, scheduling, and material flow.
