  4. Ensure ERP/MRP accuracy across work orders, BOMs, inventory transactions, and production data.
  5. Interrogate production metrics, inventory levels, and capacity to expose inefficiencies and drive improvement.
  6. Publish Excel-based reports that inform planning and operational decisions.
  7. Lead clear communication in daily production meetings to keep teams aligned.

  • 1–3+ years of experience in a manufacturing environment with exposure to production planning, scheduling, materials, production control, or supply chain.
  • Proven ability with ERP/MRP systems (SAP, Epicor, Oracle, JD Edwards, Infor, IFS, or similar).
