Position Summary
The Master Planner & Analyst will develop, maintain, and optimize the integrated production plan while using advanced analytical tools to improve manufacturing performance.
This position goes beyond traditional production planning. The ideal candidate will have strong experience with SQL, ERP systems, manufacturing data analysis, and capacity planning. This individual will work closely with Manufacturing, Engineering, Materials, Program Management, and Operations leadership to identify constraints, improve production flow, and provide accurate information for decision-making.
The role requires someone who understands how manufacturing processes work and can use data to identify bottlenecks, evaluate capacity, improve scheduling accuracy, and maximize throughput.
Develop, maintain, and execute integrated production plans aligned with customer requirements and manufacturing objectives
Use SQL and ERP back-end tools to extract, analyze, and model manufacturing and production data
Perform finite-capacity planning, line-of-balance analysis, and constraint identification to improve production flow
Analyze resource utilization, production cycle times, labor requirements, and manufacturing performance
Translate BOM structures, routings, and build sequences into accurate production schedules
Develop dashboards, reports, Gantt charts, and capacity models to provide visibility into manufacturing operations
Monitor work-in-process (WIP), production schedules, and planned versus actual performance
Identify potential scheduling issues, material shortages, capacity constraints, and production bottlenecks
Configure and maintain ERP planning parameters, including resources, shifts, calendars, and production constraints
Support inventory planning, material requirements, work order releases, and SIOP processes
Develop what-if scenarios and capacity models to support manufacturing and business decisions
Work cross-functionally with Engineering, Manufacturing, Materials, Supply Chain, and Program Management
Provide leadership with meaningful data and recommendations to improve scheduling, efficiency, and profitability
Support continuous improvement initiatives through advanced manufacturing analytics
What Sets You Apart
Bachelor's degree in Data Analytics, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing, or a related field
3–5 years of experience in manufacturing analytics, production planning, or operations data analysis
Strong SQL skills with the ability to extract, manipulate, and analyze manufacturing data
Experience working with ERP/MRP systems, including an understanding of back-end data and production planning functions
Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, production scheduling, and material flow
Experience with finite-capacity planning, demand-versus-capacity analysis, and identifying manufacturing constraints
Ability to analyze BOMs, routings, production sequences, and work-in-process
Experience developing reports, dashboards, and analytical models using tools such as Power BI or Tableau
Knowledge of statistical and analytical tools such as Python, R, or Minitab
Ability to communicate complex manufacturing data and findings to both technical and nontechnical teams
Comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment with multiple priorities
Preferred Experience
Experience with SIOP processes and production planning in a complex manufacturing environment
Extensive knowledge of inventory control, manufacturing operations, and production scheduling
Knowledge of Theory of Constraints and constraint-based production planning
Experience with DCMA schedule metrics, schedule risk analysis, and data-driven performance measurements
Strong experience with demand-versus-capacity planning and manufacturing resource optimization
Why This Role
Opportunity to combine advanced data analytics with hands-on manufacturing operations and production planning
Highly visible position working directly with Operations leadership and multiple manufacturing departments
Significant opportunity to influence production efficiency, capacity utilization, scheduling accuracy, and throughput
Work with complex manufacturing processes and sophisticated ERP and analytical systems
Opportunity to develop reporting tools and analytical models that directly influence operational decisions
Be part of an established aerospace manufacturing operation with approximately $180 million in annual sales
Opportunity to help strengthen manufacturing planning processes and support continued operational improvement
