About The Position

We are seeking a highly organized and results-driven Production Planner to join our manufacturing team. This role is responsible for coordinating production activities across CNC machining, turning, welding, and finishing operations to ensure on-time delivery, efficient resource utilization, and smooth workflow throughout the plant.

The ideal candidate will have experience in machining environments, production scheduling, capacity planning, and cross-functional coordination with engineering, CNC programming, quality, and operations teams.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and maintain production schedules for machining centers, lathes, and welding operations.
Analyze customer orders and translate demand into executable production plans.
Optimize production flow by grouping parts with similar materials and geometries to minimize setup times.
Estimate production lead times considering CNC programming, machining, welding, finishing operations, and current plant workload.




Coordinate with CNC Programming and Engineering teams to ensure tooling availability before releasing work orders.
Monitor work-in-process (WIP) and ensure a continuous flow of materials between production stages.
Evaluate plant capacity and resource availability to support realistic delivery commitments.
Coordinate outsourced operations such as heat treatment, phosphating, coatings, and grinding processes.
Identify bottlenecks and monitor machine utilization to improve production efficiency.
Analyze quoted versus vigente machining times and recommend improvements for future planning accuracy.
Support new product introductions (NPI) and engineering change implementation.
Ensure compliance with Quality Management System (QMS) requirements.
Monitor production performance through Indisoft, including cycle times and operator reports.
Manage quality rejects and rework schedules to minimize delivery impacts.
