As a Value Stream Scheduler at RAM Aerospace, you play a critical role in ensuring production runs efficiently and on schedule. This position is responsible for managing ERP/APS-driven production schedules, coordinating material requirements, and collaborating across Operations, Purchasing, Engineering, Customer Support, and Production teams. By balancing customer demand, operational capacity, and material availability, you help drive schedule attainment, on-time delivery, and overall operational efficiency in a fast-paced aerospace manufacturing environment.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Production Scheduling & Order Management: Generate and maintain ERP/APS-driven production schedules based on customer demand, forecasted orders, material planning, and operational capacity. Issue and manage production orders as work is scheduled, and follow orders through production to completion to ensure customer requirements and delivery schedules are met.
- Demand & Capacity Planning: Forecast shipping schedules, quantities, items, and COGS, and manage ERP/APS system settings associated with capacity, resources, and scheduling. Monitor design changes, labor or material shortages, backlogs, engineering demands, and other interruptions to update schedules accordingly, providing visibility into upcoming demand changes and production constraints.
- Material & Cross-Functional Coordination: Work closely with Purchasing and Material Planning to ensure materials are procured and available to support production schedules. Coordinate with other schedulers and Procurement to manage the flow of parts and materials between machining, plating, outside processing, assembly, inspection, and shipping, and communicate schedule impacts, changes, and risks to Operations, Customer Support, Engineering, Sales, and leadership.
- System Accuracy & APS Optimization: Maintain ERP schedule accuracy and update system parameters to support APS functionality and schedule reliability, ensuring operation times, resources, and production data within ERP remain accurate and current. Support the maintenance, implementation, and optimization of the Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) system.
- Inventory & Continuous Improvement: Own consignment inventory requirements and finished goods strategies. Collaborate with Operations and Manufacturing Engineering to improve product flow and production efficiency using Lean manufacturing principles.
