Job Overview

The Master Scheduler is responsible for translating demand signals, open orders, and operational inputs into a clear, executable production schedule. This role ensures alignment across Operations, Sales, and Supply Chain by proactively identifying constraints, balancing capacity, and driving disciplined execution. Operating in a non-MRP environment, the Master Scheduler plays a critical role in building scalable scheduling processes, improving throughput, and ensuring on-time delivery across the business.

Key Responsibilities

• Production Scheduling Ownership: Develop, maintain, and continuously refine the master production schedule using open orders, work logs, and capacity inputs.
• Demand Translation & Planning: Convert demand forecasts and sales orders into a feasible, leveled production plan across machines and resources.
• Capacity & Constraint Management: Proactively identify bottlenecks, material constraints, and resource limitations; escalate risks and recommend solutions.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner closely with Operations, Sales, and Supply Chain to ensure daily execution aligns with the production plan and business priorities.
• Execution Support & Adjustment: Monitor schedule adherence and make real-time adjustments to maintain throughput and delivery commitments.
• Process Improvement & Tool Development: Build and continuously improve scheduling processes, tools, and standards to drive efficiency and scalability in a non-MRP environment.
