MISSION:
The Master Scheduler is responsible for leading production planning scheduling and material coordination activities within an aerospace manufacturing environment focused on nickelbased alloy melting and revert processing. This role ensures on time delivery optimized capacity utilization and accurate material flow throughout melting refining casting and downstream processing operations. The Master Scheduler collaborates crossfunctionally with Operations Engineering Procurement and Quality to support customer requirements regulatory compliance and continuous improvement initiatives.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES:
- Develop maintain and optimize master production schedules for melting furnaces remelt operations and downstream processes.
- Balance capacity labor and equipment constraints to meet customer delivery commitments.
- Translate demand forecasts maketoorder requests and engineering requirements into detailed work-center schedules.
- Monitor schedule adherence and adjust plans proactively to address bottlenecks equipment downtime process yield issues or emergent customer priorities.
- Ensure availability of raw materials revert alloying elements consumables and tooling required for nickelbased alloy melting operations.
- Maintain optimal inventory levels through MRP oversight safety stock management and strategic planning for longlead items.
- Coordinate with procurement to manage supplier lead times expedite critical materials and mitigate supply risks.
- Utilize ERP/MRP systems to manage work orders routings bills of materials and capacity models.
- Track production KPIs such as OTD WIP aging furnace utilization yield performance and inventory turns.
- Drive data accuracy by identifying and resolving discrepancies in BOMs routings and transactional records.
- Partner with operations and engineering to align schedules with process capabilities including melt chemistries heatlot configurations and qualification requirements.
- Support the department with accurate delivery commitments recovery plans and schedule updates.
- Participate in rootcause investigations and improvement initiatives related to planning material flow process time reduction or equipment constraints.
- Ensure all planning activities adhere to AS9100/AS9120 standards and customer-specific aerospace requirements.
- Maintain traceability and heatlot control for all nickelbased alloys throughout the melt-to-finish process.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelors degree in Supply Chain Operations Management Business Engineering or related field or equivalent experience required.
- 5 years of production planning/scheduling experience in aerospace metals manufacturing foundry/melting operations or similar heavy industrial environment required.
- Experience in nickelbased superalloy melting (e.g. VIM VAR ESR) or specialty metals manufacturing preferred.
- Experience with lean manufacturing constraintbased planning or S&OP processes highly preferred.
- Familiarity with aerospace customer requirements (e.g. Pratt & Whitney GE Aviation RollsRoyce) highly preferred
- Strong understanding of MRP/ERP systems required.
- Proven ability to plan in capacityconstrained highmix/lowvolume environments required.
- APICS CPIM/CSCP certification preferred.
- Excellent analytical organizational and communication skills required.
- Ability to interpret technical routings metallurgical process flows and manufacturing documentation required.
- Able and willing to work in a heavy industrial manufacturing environment with regular interaction on the production floor.
