Responsibilities
• Production Scheduling & Fulfillment • Develop and execute weekly and daily production schedules for multiple lines, balancing labor availability, machine capacity, and material readiness. • Monitor "Order-to-Ship" cycles to ensure 100% on-time fulfillment for third-party clients and retail partners. • Manage the transition between different product runs, accounting for allergen washdowns and sanitation cycles (specific to food manufacturing). • Adjust schedules in real-time to account for equipment downtime, labor shortages, or urgent "hot" orders. • Technical Systems & Data Management • Serve as the "Power User" for the ERP/MRP system (e.g., SAP, NetSuite, or Microsoft Dynamics and homegrown systems), ensuring data integrity for BOMs (Bills of Materials) and inventory levels. • Analyze historical data to identify trends in production yields and fulfillment lags, using these insights to improve scheduling accuracy. • Automate reporting for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), including OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), Schedule Attainment, and Scrap Rates. • Cross-Functional Operations Collaboration • Act as the primary liaison between the Engineering, Quality, and Operations teams. • Lead daily "Production Kick-off" meetings to communicate the plan to floor supervisors and troubleshoot potential bottlenecks. • Work closely with Procurement to ensure raw ingredients and packaging materials are staged and ready for production, preventing "stock-outs" that stall fulfillment. • Process Improvement & Lean Initiatives • Identify opportunities to reduce "Changeover Time" (SMED) and improve throughput using Lean methodologies. • Partner with Engineering to optimize line layouts for new product launches or packaging configurations.
