Shop Floor Scheduler

Translate the Master Production Schedule into a feasible sequenced and controlled shop-floor execution plan for assigned value streams products and production lines.

Balance customer need dates production priorities capacity labor materials tooling fixtures maintenance quality constraints and work-in-process to protect product safety configuration integrity on-time delivery and efficient resource utilization.

Provide timely fact-based visibility of schedule risk and coordinate recovery actions across operations planning procurement quality engineering maintenance logistics and program teams.

1. Production Sequencing and MPS Execution

• Sequence and release work orders in line with the approved MPS customer need dates program priorities and the physical and staffing constraints of assigned production lines.
• Maintain a rolling time-phased shop-floor schedule that is feasible balanced visually communicated and understood by Team Leaders and value-stream stakeholders.
• Incorporate known downtime holidays preventive maintenance line closures calibration qualification inspection tooling fixture packaging staffing and material constraints into shop floor schedule.
• Coordinate changes in sequence or priority through established planning and change-control processes; communicate the operational and customer impact of changes.

2. Constraint Capacity and Readiness Management

• Confirm that scheduled work is supportable by available raw material components tooling fixtures equipment approved process capability trained labor documentation and quality resources.
• Maximize use of shared and constraint resources while maintaining coherence with MPS product mix required availability dates batch rules changeovers and controlled-process requirements.
• Identify capacity overloads bottlenecks shortages competing priorities or readiness gaps and develop data-supported scenarios for escalation and decision.
• Coordinate with Procurement Material Control Engineering Quality Maintenance and Operations to address conditions that could create supply failure or customer disruption.

3. Daily Performance Control and Recovery

• Monitor actual manufacturing output and performance against the schedule each day; investigate deviations from standard and update the execution plan using approved priorities.
• Track schedule adherence past-due operations WIP aging queue time yield/rework impact downtime run dates batch quantities and changeover performance.
• Lead or support recovery planning for missed milestones material shortages quality holds equipment downtime resource conflicts rework loops and urgent customer requirements.
• Provide daily and weekly reporting that distinguishes symptoms from verified causes and assigns clear actions owners and escalation dates.

4. Inventory WIP and Material Flow

• Monitor stock cover and material availability to prevent shortages while avoiding unnecessary overproduction excess WIP aging inventory or premature starts.
• Adjust sequencing within approved authority when conditions change; escalate decisions that could affect the MPS customer commitments inventory policy contractual priorities or financial performance.
• Coordinate rework inspection hold and release queues so nonconforming or awaiting-disposition material is not inadvertently scheduled as available production.
• Maintain visual controls and aging reviews that make blocked at-risk or excess work visible to responsible owners.

5. Aerospace and Defense Production Control

• Protect product safety approved configuration traceability serialization or lot control special-process sequencing inspection points and customer-specific requirements when building or changing the schedule.
• Ensure scheduling actions do not bypass required quality gates first-article or production-readiness requirements training authorization controlled documentation or formal release status.
• Handle program customer technical and production information in accordance with applicable export-control security access and information-handling requirements.
• Support audit readiness by maintaining accurate planning records rationale for priority changes schedule status and evidence of timely escalation and closure.

6. Systems Analytics and Continuous Improvement

• Maintain accurate actual run dates quantities changeover data order status constraints and planning master data in applicable systems.
• Use Excel ERP/MRP visual management and analytical tools to identify schedule risk constraint performance and recurring causes of non-adherence.
• Apply root-cause analysis and Lean methods to improve scheduling stability flow launch discipline WIP control and cross-functional response.
• Standardize recurring planning work through documented routines review cadence definitions and clear handoffs across shifts and functions.

• High school diploma or GED equivalent.
• Five or more years of production planning shop-floor scheduling material planning production control or related manufacturing experience.
• Demonstrated experience sequencing work against capacity material labor tooling equipment and delivery constraints.
• Working proficiency with Microsoft Excel and enterprise planning or manufacturing systems used for MPS MRP work-order inventory and production-status control.
• Strong analytical problem-solving organizational written communication and cross-functional coordination skills.
• Ability to work on-site in an active manufacturing environment and respond to changing priorities with accuracy and discipline.
• Must satisfy all position-specific employment eligibility export-control site-access and security requirements applicable to the work performed including ITAR/EAR or program requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Supply Chain Operations Business Engineering Industrial Engineering or a related field.
• Experience scheduling aerospace or defense manufacturing aircraft transparencies special processes controlled production or other high-mix regulated operations.
• Experience with SIOP MPS MRP capacity planning master data inventory management internal logistics and warehouse interfaces.
• Knowledge of aerospace quality-system expectations including configuration control product safety traceability nonconformance controls and on-time delivery.
• Experience working in a matrix organization with Operations Programs Quality Engineering Procurement Maintenance and Finance.
• Lean APICS/ASCM CPIM CSCP or related training or certification.
