Full job description

The Material & Production Planner owns the Master Production Schedule (MPS) and the planning parameters that drive MRP outputs in SAP. This role is the connective tissue between demand, supply, and production execution — responsible for ensuring that production orders are correctly scheduled, material-ready, and grounded in accurate data.

The planner generates and maintains demand signals (PIRs) that give buyers long-lead visibility, governs the SAP parameters that determine how inventory is replenished, and serves as the single point of contact for production schedule changes and expedite feasibility.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and maintain the weekly MPS in SAP, integrating capacity and material readiness.
Own production order start dates and ensure alignment with product lead times and material status.
Review and adjust the MPS weekly to reflect changes in customer requirements, material constraints, and capacity.
Enforce MPS frozen weeks and to protect planning stability.
Validate ATP (Available-to-Promise) results and ensure production orders are correctly scheduled in SAP.
In collaboration with buyers, maintain accurate lead times, safety stocks, lot sizes, planning strategies, and MRP parameters across all assigned materials.
Ensure SAP material data reflects current manufacturing and supply realities to produce reliable MRP outputs.
Conduct planning parameter audits on a quarterly basis in coordination with material buyers and inventory control team. Own corrective.
Develop and upload Planned Independent Requirements (PIRs) into SAP based on historical demand, consumption patterns, and commercial input.
Maintain PIR coverage across all active platforms to ensure buyers have continuous long-lead visibility and procurement signals.
In collaboration with the Materials Manager and buyers, review the CM forecasts.
Partner with the contract management team to align forecast assumptions with business expectations.
Act as the single point of contact and approval authority for all production order schedule changes, expedites, pull-ins, and reschedules.
Evaluate expedite request feasibility based on capacity, material availability, and planning fences. Communicate approvals or denials.
Review and share MSPT (Missing Parts) reports weekly, coordinating with buyers to resolve constrained materials before they impact production start dates.
Produce schedules that maximize monthly OTD and minimizes OD balance at month-end.
Define and implement optimal replenishment methods (Bulk, Kanban, VMI, VBS) for P&C materials for inventory optimization.
Monitor and refine safety stock levels to prevent shortages while minimizing excess inventory.
Support the VBS program by ensuring SAP replenishment parameters reflect supplier-held stock agreements and trigger logic is accurate.
Partner with the Materials Manager to review replenishment strategy QoQ against inventory budget targets.
Analyze recurring shortages, constraint patterns, and lead-time adherence to drive systemic corrections in planning parameters or process.
Partner with the Materials Manager to simplify planning rules, improve MRP accuracy, and standardize data governance.
Contribute to the monthly material scorecard by providing planning performance data: MPS attainment, PIR accuracy, safety stock vs. target.

Qualifications:

University degree/diploma in related field
3+ years of material buying and planning in a manufacturing environment
Experience in production planning, master scheduling, or supply chain in a manufacturing environment.
Proficiency in SAP MRP/PP modules — hands-on experience with MPS, PIRs, planning parameters, and production order management.
Strong understanding of MRP logic, replenishment strategies, and inventory control principles.
Ability to manage competing priorities, communicate schedule decisions clearly, and influence cross-functional stakeholders.
