The Master Scheduler is responsible for developing, maintaining, and communicating the site master production schedule within a high-mix Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) environment. This position translates customer demand, material availability, production capacity, and business priorities into an executable manufacturing plan.

The Master Scheduler serves as the primary point of coordination between Planning, Procurement, Operations, Program Management, Customer Service, and Supply Chain to ensure production priorities are clearly understood and aligned with customer commitments.

Serve as the primary point of coordination between Commercial, Engineering, Procurement, Planning, Production, Quality, and Finance to ensure launch activities are completed on schedule, including:

• Coordinate with Material Planning and Procurement to understand component availability, shortages, recovery dates, and their impact on the production schedule.
• Coordinate production sequencing across shared equipment, labor, tooling, test equipment, and other constrained resources.
• Work closely with Operations leadership to evaluate capacity requirements, overtime needs, bottlenecks, and resource constraints.
• Identify schedule risks and constraints early and drive cross-functional actions to protect customer delivery commitments.
• Partner with Program Managers and Customer Service to provide accurate production forecast in support of customer delivery commitments.
• Facilitate regular scheduling and production-priority meetings with appropriate cross-functional stakeholders.
• Identify schedule risks and constraints early and drive cross-functional actions to protect customer delivery commitments.
• Participate in Sales & Operations Planning (SIOP), backlog reviews, customer-focused team meetings, and other operational planning processes as required.

The successful Master Scheduler creates one credible and executable version of the production plan. The role requires more than maintaining dates in an ERP system; it requires understanding how material availability, capacity, production dependencies, and customer priorities interact and proactively resolving conflicts before they affect delivery.

The Master Scheduler must be comfortable challenging unrealistic dates and driving the cross-functional alignment necessary to establish priorities, resolve constraints, and protect customer commitments.
