This role functions as a main lead on production scheduling and planning for finished products and important assemblies, that greatly influence company profits. Core responsibility of the Master Production Scheduler includes sequencing orders based on priority and constraints. They act as the primary link between long term planning and constraints beyond 3+ months and the short term production plan. DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES: 1. Master Production Schedule Plan (for Mass Production Product and NPI Product both) • Rolling 2-4 weeks MPS Finite Supply Plan release to Production Planning execution • Rolling 4-8 weeks run-hours plan per process/WorkCentre to ensure effective operational resource planning • Rolling 12 weeks MPS plan to understand demand and plan gap to drive mitigation plan • Work with NSP for capacity risk and expansion plan • Work with Operation for output improvement plan 2. Level Load in Master Production Schedule: • Seasonal Production Balance: Coordinate with NSP/INP to balance production and capacity loading during low and peak seasons in the MPS plan • Short-Term Constraints Management: Align with NSP/INP to manage future short-term constrained products, ensuring production capacity is optimized for short-term overloading demands 3. Resource and Capacity Allocation for Expedite Order and Special NPI Arrangements: • Collaborate with Production Planning to allocate running hours and resources for sudden customer expedite requests or special NPI arrangements. These Expedite and NPI activities require shared capacity and resources from the MPS plan 4. Governance of MPS Planning & Capacity Master Data Accuracy: • Master Data Review: Conduct regular and thorough reviews of critical SAP master data to ensure accuracy and reliability in MPS planning and execution. • Digitalization Support: Improve master data accuracy to enhance digitalization efforts and supply chain efficiency. 5. Manage MPS Planning KPIs: • MPS Plan Rate: Identify and address MPS plan supply and SAP demand discrepancies • MPS Quality Rate: Assess the difference between best capacity and the MPS plan, serving as to monitor and improve the quality of master data. • MPS Attainment Rate: Addressing Gaps in MPS Planned Qty vs Actual Production Order Qty, understanding of how effectively the MPS plan translates into production order execution. 6. Actions for Molex Supply Chain KPIs improvement: • Customer-Centric Planning: Prioritize hot family items in MPS arrangements based on CRD (Customer Request Date) and Late Backlog $ metric • Allocation Process: Align with internal and global allocation processes to prioritize fair share parts scheduling in the MPS plan • Proactive Adjustment: Adjust MPS plans in response to changes in customer demand, Optimize In-house Make Part Inventory Quality Rate and reduce Days on Hand to improve inventory performance • Other duties as assigned by Management [Requirements] EDUCATION: REQUIRED: • Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Operations Engineering, Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain or Business Management.
