• Create and manage the 1-2-week finite production schedule based on demand priorities, material availability, and inventory targets.
• Adhere to and align all schedules to the Master Production Schedule (MPS).
• Release work orders that are "Clear to Release," ensuring material and documentation readiness.
• When constraints occur, re sequence or re route work orders to minimise deviation from MPS.
• Monitor and manage WIFOL (Work in Front of Line) to prevent bottlenecks and ensure flow.

Work Order, WIP & Material Coordination
• Reconcile WIP that is short on components and coordinate resolution with Stores, Procurement, and Quality.
• Transact suspect or non conforming materials from work orders into MRB (Material Review Board).
• Attend Stores MRB meetings to support timely disposition and material flow decisions.
• Review Line of Balance (LOB) to ensure accurate visibility of production progress.
• Reconcile "Completed but Not Closed" work orders to support financial and inventory accuracy.

Performance Tracking & Schedule Adherence
