• Daily use of SAGE200 (experience is a must)
• Utilize MRP systems to plan and procure materials needed for production, considering lead times, supplier capabilities, and cost constraints.

• Identify potential risks to production schedules, such as supplier delays, equipment breakdowns, or resource shortages, and develop contingency plans to mitigate these risks.
• Maintain open communication channels with cross-functional teams, including production, procurement, engineering, and logistics, to ensure alignment and facilitate problem-solving.
• Maintain accurate records of production activities, including production schedules, inventory levels, and performance metrics. Generate reports to track key performance indicators and provide insights for decision-making.
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to enhance production processes, reduce costs, and increase efficiency over time.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, industry standards, and company policies related to production planning, inventory management, and workplace safety.
• Provide training and support to production teams on new processes, systems, or tools implemented to improve production planning and execution.
• Adapt quickly to changing priorities, market conditions, or unforeseen events that may impact production schedules, demonstrating flexibility and problem-solving skills to keep operations running smoothly.

Your experience:

• Daily use of SAGE200 is essential for this role
• Manufacturing industry experience
• Happy to be a team player but also work individually
• Extensive production planning experience
• Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
• Good communicator and can communicate professionally internally and externally
• Demonstrated experience in production scheduling and capacity planning
• Strong understanding of inventory management principles
• Familiarity with Material Requirement Planning (MRP) processes
