Production Scheduling Coordinator - Level III

DESCRIPTION

We are looking for a talented Production Scheduling Coordinator - Level III to join our team specializing in Supply Chain Planning at our facility in Columbus, IN, US.

In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:

 Turn demand into reality: Build and maintain realistic, capacity-aligned production schedules that consistently meet customer demand and protect commitments.

 Optimize flow end-to-end: Align RM, WIP, and FG strategies across Materials, Operations, and Customer Service to reduce shortages, excess, and fire-fighting.

 Stabilize execution inside the time fence: Proactively manage schedule changes, secure approvals, and minimize disruption from downtime, material gaps, or urgent demand shifts.

 Improve schedule attainment: Drive accountability with Logistics and Operations, using clear metrics and data to raise attainment and delivery reliability.

 Strengthen data and master planning quality: Perform rigorous master data checks (BOMs, routings, work centers) to support PFEP and prevent planning errors before they hit the floor.

 Unblock constraints and bottlenecks: Analyze capacity, kitting, Kanban, and routings to identify issues and lead practical improvements that increase throughput.

 Embed safety and quality into planning: Champion HSE compliance and training, and partner with Quality to quickly disposition non-conforming material without risking delivery.

 Be a trusted cross-functional partner: Communicate clearly, support continuous improvement projects, and stay flexible-owning outcomes that help the business hit its goal

RESPONSIBILITIES

To be successful, you will need to consistently demonstrate the following:

 Clear, adaptive communication: Translate complex planning data into messages that resonate with different audiences-operators, leaders, materials, engineering, and customers-so decisions are understood and acted on.

 Strong customer-first mindset: Anchor planning and trade-off decisions in customer impact (delivery, reliability, ATP), not just internal efficiency.

 Results orientation under pressure: Stay focused on outcomes when demand, capacity, or materials don't line up-prioritizing, recalibrating, and still delivering.

 Ownership and accountability: Hold yourself and cross-functional partners to commitments on schedules, changes, and KPIs; close the loop when gaps appear.

 Ability to manage complexity: Make sense of large volumes of sometimes conflicting data (demand, capacity, inventory, engineering changes) and turn it into clear plans and actions.

 Fluency in the materials planning system: Use the system as your primary tool to balance supply and demand, resolve exception messages through root-cause analysis, and drive long-term corrective actions-using Excel or ad-hoc tools only as support.
