The Production Scheduler is the owner of the short‑term execution plan, ensuring delivery against customer commitments while maximising capacity utilisation and operational efficiency.

The role maintains a stable, prioritised schedule, drives daily execution discipline, and safeguards full control of workflow, data integrity, and production readiness.

This is a hands‑on operational control role, focused on eliminating surprises on the shopfloor, stabilising processes, and delivering consistent, reliable output.

Accountable for:

• On‑Time Delivery (OTD) and dependable execution performance

• Schedule adherence and short‑term planning stability

• Job list quality and production readiness

• WIP control, flow efficiency, and bottleneck prevention

• Scan compliance and high‑quality production data

Your Tasks

Sequence and prioritise production to maximise capacity utilisation, flow, and on‑time delivery, ensuring alignment across all stages for smooth, uninterrupted throughput.
Own and maintain a stable, capacity‑aligned production plan and a tightly controlled 24–48h execution window, minimising last‑minute changes and ensuring a reliable next‑day plan with clear, executable job lists and full production readiness.
Validate feasibility before releasing plans, ensuring the shopfloor receives only achievable, fully prepared work—no surprises.
Monitor execution vs plan in real time, taking immediate corrective action to protect delivery and plan stability, including prioritising remakes, while enforcing strong scan discipline and system accuracy.
Identify issues early, drive root‑cause resolution, and implement corrective actions to reduce disruption, variability, and firefighting.
Lead daily planning and execution routines, clearly communicating priorities and aligning teams around the plan.
Coordinate cross‑functionally with procurement, logistics, and customer service to ensure material availability, realistic lead times, and aligned delivery commitments.
