Production Planner (Fabrication)

Join our supply chain team as a Production Planner (Downstream) in Mty 4 focused on scheduling and sequencing.

You'll optimize production schedules, enhance efficiency, and ensure we deliver on customer commitments while working collaboratively across a dynamic, fast-paced operation.

What will you do?


* Create and update daily/weekly production schedules.


* Analyse capacity and workload to identify bottlenecks.


* Participate in project planning meetings to align production with engineering deliverables.


* Monitor inventory levels and adjust planning parameters (e.g., safety stock, reorder points).


* Communicate schedule changes and priorities to shop floor supervisors and team leads.


* Track and report key performance indicators (KPIs) such as on-time delivery, schedule adherence, and resource utilization.


* Support continuous improvement initiatives in planning and scheduling processes.


* Develop and maintain production plans based on customer demand, material availability, and manufacturing capacity.


* Coordinate material readiness for Sheet Metal and Copper fabrication operations to ensure uninterrupted production flow.


* Review and release manufacturing orders according to production priorities and capacity constraints.


* Optimize production sequencing to minimize setup times, material handling, and machine downtime.


* Monitor work-in-process (WIP) levels and drive actions to prevent production delays.


* Validate routings, lead times, and planning parameters in ERP/MRP systems.


* Perform capacity planning for critical resources such as punching, bending, welding, copper processing, and finishing operations.


* Analyze production variances and implement corrective actions to improve schedule adherence.


* Lead recovery plans for missed schedules, material shortages, or unexpected production disruptions.


* Generate and maintain planning reports to support operational reviews and decision-making.


* Lead weekly production scheduling meetings to align customer demand with manufacturing capacity, material availability, and resource constraints.
