Overview

Reporting to the Manufacturing Scheduling and Systems Analyst Manager, the Semi-Finished Goods Scheduler will create and maintain a finite, constraint-aware production schedule for semi-finished goods to meet customer demand while respecting machine, labor, material, and storage constraints. This role drives schedule attainment, reduces past-due work orders, and partners cross-functionally to improve throughput, accuracy of master data, and inventory performance.

Responsibilities

• Sequence production schedules in the most efficient and effective manner to meet customer demands while balancing capacity, changeovers, and material availability
• Build and publish a daily/weekly finite schedule for semi-finished goods; proactively highlight risks and trade-offs to stakeholders
• Evaluate and adjust lot sizing, lead times, and min/max parameters using consumption rates, container sizes, machine constraints, storage space, raw component availability, and lead times
• Monitor material availability and respond to shortage/expedite lists ("hot lists") to support production lines in a timely manner
• Conduct root cause analysis on past-due production orders; drive corrective and preventive actions to recover schedule misses
• Communicate to all necessary parties any changes that would require alternative scheduling to meet demand; facilitate daily production discussions as needed
• Collaborate with department leadership to ensure accurate production confirmations (time, yield, scrap) are recorded within SAP
• Cross-compare SAP routing data with actual production times to ensure correct information is stored in the system to accurately drive planning and costing; recommend updates to routings, work center capacities, and calendars
• Work closely with Production, Materials, Procurement, Quality, Maintenance, and Engineering to resolve production issues and support continuous improvement efforts
• Utilize SAP and Excel to develop and maintain KPIs (e.g., schedule adherence, on-time to need date, past-due work orders, WIP turns, changeover hours) and to enhance reporting/visibility

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations, or related field; or equivalent related work experience
• 2–4+ years of production scheduling or operations planning experience in a discrete manufacturing environment
• Working knowledge of ERP systems; SAP experience preferred (PP/MRP, confirmations, routings/BOMs, and capacity planning)
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, specifically Excel (pivot tables and lookups; Power Query/Power BI a plus)
• Excellent oral and written communication skills; able to influence and align cross-functional teams
• Working knowledge of BOMs, routings, work centers, and capacity constraints; demonstrated ability to balance competing priorities under time pressure
• Preferred: APICS/ASCM CPIM or CSCP; Lean/Six Sigma certification;
