Requirements

• Lead and supervise the Pelzer Production Planning team and daily planning activities.
• Own the WON process, including WON creation, release, maintenance, closure, and overall governance.
• Develop and maintain WON reporting, providing visibility to open, released, completed, past-due, and at-risk WONs.
• Ensure WONs are correctly aligned to Sales Orders, BOMs, routings, quantities, and required production dates.
• Own and maintain production schedules across the Pelzer factories based on demand, capacity, material availability, and customer priorities.
• Translate customer demand and backlog into executable daily, weekly, and forward-looking production plans.
• Partner closely with Materials, Procurement, Production, Engineering, Order Entry, and other support functions to identify and resolve planning constraints.
• Monitor schedule attainment and identify gaps between the production plan and actual factory output.
• Support MRP execution and ERP planning discipline, ensuring system data accurately reflects operational requirements.

• Maintain visibility of upcoming demand and ensure WONs are created sufficiently ahead of production requirements.
• Lead daily/weekly planning reviews with Production and Materials leadership.
• Establish and maintain planning KPIs, including WON readiness, schedule attainment, past-due WONs, production plan adherence, and demand coverage.
• Escalate capacity, material, engineering, or system constraints that put customer commitments or revenue at risk.

• Support month-end and quarter-end production/revenue requirements through clear production priorities and execution plans.
