The Master Production Scheduler embodies an essential link between leadership’s goals and plant level execution, doing so with creativity, relationship-building, plus strong supply chain fundamentals and analysis. While the monthly MPS process is essential, the most impactful work continues throughout the month: anticipating customers’ needs, maintaining balanced inventory, and keeping projects and rollouts on track. A successful master production scheduler will have deep understanding of end-to-end supply chain concepts, excel at providing concise details and influential communications, and be adept at creative and innovative process solutions.
