About the Role
Agility Robotics is seeking to hire a Master Production Scheduler to lead the creation of our Master Production Schedule, (MPS) in our state-of-the-art robotics manufacturing facility. This role is responsible for developing and maintaining the body of work orders that drive production and assembly activities.
This role is a highly visible role, and involves partnership with planning staff, production coordinators, manufacturing engineers, purchasing and inventory teams to align production output with business goals. The Master Production Scheduler must be able to facilitate interdepartmental projects, lead coordinate efforts and keep track of materials in a fast paced production environment.
The scheduling of manufacturing labor, machinery and materials affect our ability to facilitate best-in-class customer experiences. The Master Production Scheduler needs to consider labor efficiency, material readiness, customer delivery performance, layers in the bill of materials, and cycle times for production cells in order to optimize production activities in an environment that oftentimes can include adversarial metrics.
The Master Production Scheduler also is responsible for creating non-standard work orders for the transformation of materials, for rework or repair of assemblies. This effort may involve quality staff, engineering support and other internal staff as needed. The Mater Production Scheduling reports to the Director of Planning & Supply Chain and should require minimal supervision. The position involves a high degree of interaction with Manufacturing, Sales, Accounting, Purchasing, Engineering, and other company departments and requires a strong ability to exercise independent judgment.
