Industrial Production Managers Jobs Near Me

Job Summary:

The Production Planner coordinates, schedules, and monitors manufacturing activity at BPP to ensure electrical distribution products are built and delivered on time and within budget. The Production Planner translates released sales orders into executable work orders, issues and maintains job travelers and related production documentation, confirms material and tooling readiness with Supply Chain, and maintains the production data in D365 that drives day-to-day manufacturing execution across BPP's facilities.

Core Responsibilities:

Scheduling & Work Order Execution:

Translate released sales orders, demand forecasts, and project schedules into specific daily and weekly manufacturing work orders.
Issue and maintain job travelers, hold notices, stop notices, and change order notices to the production floor in accordance with established procedures.
Monitor production progress against schedule and adjust sequencing dynamically to respond to material shortages, machine downtime, engineering changes, or shifting project priorities.
Communicate schedules and schedule changes clearly to production leadership and work with them to resolve conflicts in real time.

Material & Capacity Alignment:

Coordinate with Supply Chain and warehouse staff to verify raw material, hardware, and tooling availability before releasing jobs to the floor.
Work with Materials Management to ensure project kits are staged, complete, and available at each stage of the build process.
Identify near-term capacity, labor, and tooling constraints that may impact the schedule and escalate them to manufacturing leadership for direction.

Data Integrity & ERP (D365):

Maintain accurate planning parameters and routings within Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365).
Partner with the Manufacturing Ops Coordinator and Project Managers to investigate and resolve BOM, traveler, or work order data discrepancies.

Cross-Functional Coordination & Reporting:

Serve as a day-to-day point of contact between Engineering, Project Management, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing for production execution questions.
Notify Project Management promptly of any delays, schedule slips, or concerns affecting their projects.
Log production downtime and schedule deviations and work with production leadership to drive root-cause resolution.
Produce a weekly summary report of completed, delayed, missed, or rescheduled work orders, including reasons for deviations.
Report variations to plan to manufacturing leadership and maintain schedule adherence reports; develop new operational reports and metrics as directed.

Continuous Improvement:

Analyze production data to identify recurring bottlenecks and recommend process improvements to manufacturing leadership.
Support continuous improvement initiatives related to scheduling, planning, and overall production efficiency.

Qualifications:

Required:

Bachelor's degree in supply chain management, business administration, operations management, or industrial engineering.
5+ years of hands-on experience in production planning, scheduling, materials, or manufacturing coordination.
Working experience with an ERP/MRP system; planning and scheduling transactions and work order management.
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (formulas, pivots, lookups) for data analysis and reporting.
Strong communication skills with the ability to relay shifting priorities clearly to floor supervisors, engineers, project managers, and leadership.
Demonstrated problem-solving skills with the ability to identify operational disruptions quickly and devise workable workarounds.

Preferred:

Direct experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365).
APICS/ASCM certification (CPIM or CSCP) or active progress toward one.
Prior experience with electrical distribution equipment or other engineered-to-order (ETO) products.
Exposure to job traveler-based production environments and project-driven manufacturing.

Core Competencies:

Schedule Discipline: Translates demand and project priorities into executable daily and weekly schedules; keeps work orders, travelers, and routings accurate and current.
Material Readiness: Partners with Supply Chain and Materials to confirm parts, kits, and tooling are in place before releasing jobs to the floor.
Data Integrity in D365: Maintains accurate BOMs, routings, and planning parameters; treats system data as production-critical and acts to correct it when discrepancies surface.
Cross-Functional Communication: Acts as a clear, reliable connection point between Engineering, Project Management, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing.
Operational Problem Solving: Identifies bottlenecks and disruptions early, recommends practical adjustments, and escalates issues with the context leadership needs to decide.
Reporting & Transparency: Produces consistent, accurate schedule adherence and variance reporting; surfaces bad news early rather than late.
