You will oversee the end-to-end planning, scheduling, and movement of materials to ensure our aerospace components are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest regulatory standards. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced CNC machining and assembly environment, understands the complexities of aerospace supply chains, and possesses strong ERP/MRP system expertise.

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop, maintain, and optimize master production schedules (MPS) based on customer demand, material availability, and machine capacity.
• Analyze Material Requirements Planner (MRP) reports to release work orders, purchase requisitions, and inventory transfers to support seamless production flow.
• Monitor daily shop floor manufacturing progress, identify bottlenecks or material shortages, and implement immediate recovery plans to keep deliveries on track.
• Manage and Coordinate cycle counts and physical inventories. Reconcile variances and maintain high inventory accuracy within the ERP system.
• Partner closely with Engineering to manage Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) and integrate new product introductions (NPI) into production.
