- Build and maintain detailed production schedules covering all phases of work (cutting, milling, outside processing, assembly, and final readiness).
- Partner with purchasing and project management to confirm materials are ordered, received, and available for production start.
- Identify, track, and escalate material shortages or scheduling conflicts before they impact delivery timelines.
- Continuously monitor progress and proactively flag risks to deadlines, engaging the right teams to resolve issues quickly.
- Collaborate closely with procurement, operations, project managers, and quality to keep production on track.
- Report on performance against promised ship dates and provide recommendations for improvement.
- Use NetSuite to manage schedules, track workflow, and maintain accurate data.
- Spot bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the process and propose practical solutions.
- Bachelor’s degree in Production Planning, Supply Chain, Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 5+ years of experience in production planning or scheduling, ideally in a low-volume, high-mix manufacturing environment (fenestration experience a plus).
- Familiarity with BOMs, routings, and manufacturing processes.
- ERP/MRP expertise; NetSuite experience preferred.
- Strong Excel skills with a knack for data-driven decision making.
- Excellent organizational and problem-solving skills with sharp attention to detail.
- Effective communicator who can work cross-functionally with multiple teams.
- Ability to manage several custom projects at once in a dynamic environment.
- Exposure to CAD drawings and customization processes.
- Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing and/or Just-in-Time (JIT) principles.
- Attention to detail
- Time management
- Collaboration and teamwork
- Customer-focused mindset
- Adaptability and sound decision-making
