Job Title: Production Scheduler

Department: Operations / Production
Reports to: Operations Manager

Job Purpose:

To plan, schedule, and coordinate production activities across CNC, assembly, and quality departments in alignment with job order priorities, machine capacity, material availability, and delivery deadlines. The Production Scheduler plays a key role in ensuring efficient resource utilization, minimizing downtime, and supporting real-time tracking within the Manufacturing Execution System (MES).

Key Responsibilities:

• Create and maintain production schedules based on customer delivery dates, machine capacity, material availability, and manpower.
• Coordinate with CAD/CAM engineers, production supervisors, and QC to align routing and priorities for each job.
• Monitor work-in-progress and adjust schedules dynamically to reflect delays, rework, or changes in routing (forward or backward steps).
• Input and update production data in the Google Sheets-based MES and ensure real-time visibility for all stakeholders.
• Ensure jobs are routed accurately, including handling rework or tool-change scenarios without losing visibility.
• Work closely with QC to avoid bottlenecks and track parts that require inspection or feedback.
• Identify conflicts or inefficiencies and propose solutions to improve lead time and on-time delivery.
• Track and report key scheduling metrics, including schedule adherence, idle time, and job delays.
• Support cross-functional communication and maintain alignment between planning, production, and quality.
