Description

Job Title: Master Production Planner (Supply Chain)

Location: 100% Onsite - Bristol, PA

Schedule: Monday-Friday, 7:00am - 4:00pm (some flexibility available)

Duration: Temporary Contract (2-5 months, potential for permanent hire based on performance but not guaranteed)

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Master Production Planner to join our Supply Chain team on a contractual basis. In this role, you will be responsible for creating, releasing, and managing production schedules within the ERP system to align with customer demand, forecast requirements, and site capacity. The ideal candidate will be highly organized, detail-oriented, and skilled in balancing operational efficiency with customer satisfaction.

This position plays a critical role in ensuring production commitments are met, supporting cross-functional communication, and driving continuous improvements in scheduling, inventory control, and on-time delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and release production schedules in the ERP system (with an emphasis on MRP functionality) to support demand and site production goals.

Review and communicate order promise dates based on current capacity-both during order acknowledgement and throughout the production process.

Procure customer-specific materials (such as labels or specialty items) when required for designated projects or jobs.

Identify and communicate capacity versus demand constraints, escalating issues where necessary.

Monitor production performance; support root cause analysis and corrective actions to improve schedule adherence.

Serve as a liaison between scheduling and production teams to resolve conflicts and minimize delays.

Review and address slow-moving, obsolete, or excess inventory by partnering with relevant stakeholders on rework, stock status, or lot-sizing changes.

Maintain appropriate inventory levels to meet company targets, ensuring accurate and timely closure of jobs in the ERP system.

Provide regular status updates to Customer Service and support Project Management with scheduling information.

Adapt across customer teams as needed to provide workload support and coverage.

Participate in special projects or other duties as assigned by management.

Requirements

Qualifications:

One to five years of experience, or a combination of education and industry training (such as APICS or Oliver Wight).

Ability to read and interpret documents such as blueprints and standard operating procedures.

Strong analytical and decision-making skills with the ability to quickly assimilate information.

Excellent organizational skills with the ability to prioritize and multitask effectively.

Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, with advanced skills in Excel.

Experience working with ERP systems, with a strong understanding of material requirement planning (MRP).

Knowledge of lean manufacturing concepts.

Capable of working independently within established policy guidelines, with general supervision.

Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment while meeting overall business metrics.

Strong communication and follow-up skills, both written and verbal.
