Operations Scheduling Analyst (Manufacturing)
About The Position
Why this role matters If you love turning complex factory inputs into a crisp, executable plan, this is your arena.

What you’ll do Craft optimized, multi-line schedules that balance service levels with efficiency. Watch WIP like a hawk and adjust to keep flow and throughput on target. Spot issues early—material shortages, capacity pinch points, line-down risks—and drive rapid resolution. Run the daily production review; surface risks, set priorities, and close the loop on escalations. Use MES and shop-floor data to sharpen labor utilization and material readiness. Team up with Production, Quality, NPI, and Process Engineering to ensure build readiness and CI momentum. Maintain pristine data integrity in ERP, MES, and inventory systems. Report out concise KPI updates and performance summaries for leadership. Coach teammates on schedule execution, systems, and standard work. Align planning, procurement, and operations to a single source of truth. Keep your area tidy and operate with strong safety and environmental habits.
