This role will ensure that engineering deliverables, material receipts, fabricators and our operations teams are synchronised to meet our delivery requirements.

•Integrated Scheduling: Develop a feasible, project-based MPS to meet customer delivery requirements whilst negotiating the challenges of Engineer to Order manufacturing i.e. engineering approvals, material availability and fabricator resources

•Process Ownership: Manage the MPS process for Support Systems, drive weekly/bi-weekly meetings to increase schedule adherence, resolve issues with the plan, measure the performance and drive improvements

•Material Requirements Planning: Execute MRP to ensure long-lead components and raw materials are ordered in alignment with timely engineering releases to avoid project delays.

•Capacity Management: Conduct rough-cut capacity planning (RCCP) to identify potential bottlenecks across labour, equipment, and specialty workstations.

•Engineering Liaison: Collaborate with Engineering and Project Management to manage the impact of Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) on current material orders and production timelines.

•Procurement Coordination: Maintain strong relationships with our procurement team and suppliers to manage lead-time variability and expedite critical parts for PO’s which are misaligned to required dates.

•Data Integrity: Support the operations team to maintain accurate master data within SAP, including production BOMs, routings, and work centres.
