Production Planner

As the planner/scheduler you will report directly to the Projects & Materials Manager and will be responsible for coordinating and optimising production activities to meet both demand and quality standards. Your primary focus is to ensure that goods are manufactured and assembled efficiently and on time to meet our customer timeframes. You will be required to find the means, tools and processes to ensure that the Company remains one step ahead. This includes communication with internal and external stake holders to produce production plans, project plans and various reports, focusing on work breakdown in Primavera P6 or similar tools reflecting structures, critical path, resource loading, and coding. It is expected that you will produce, review, and revise a logically linked P6 plan and manage the process from start to finish liaising with all departments to ensure the program stays on track. As we all strive to be one step ahead you are expected to foresee risks of possible program slippage, its impact and inform the Projects & Materials Manager of such risks. You perform a crucial role in ensuring the business success by ensuring the efficient flow of production operations.
