Production Planner

Role Summary

You own the translation from demand to build. You turn the sales and channel forecast into a master production schedule, make sure the components and displays needed for each build are on hand before the line needs them, and keep the 40 lines loaded at the right model mix. When the plan breaks, you find out first and re-plan before the line stops.

Key Responsibilities

- Build and maintain the master production schedule (MPS) and daily line schedule across all lines
- Convert the dealer and channel demand forecast into build quantities by model, grade, and line
- Run weekly S&OP; inputs with Sales, Procurement, Quality, and Operations
- Plan material requirements (MRP) for components, displays, batteries, and consumables
- Track component availability against the build plan and escalate shortages before they stop a line
- Balance line loading and model changeovers to minimise idle time and changeover losses
- Manage WIP levels between stations and across the disassembly, repair, and final test stages
- Own the re-plan process when volume, yield, or supplier delivery changes
- Report schedule adherence, plan attainment, and shortage-driven downtime weekly

Required Experience

- 4 to 7 years in production planning, material planning, or supply chain planning in smartphone,



consumer electronics, or EMS
- At least 2 years in a high-volume, multi-line setting (FATP, rework, repair, or refurbishment)
- Hands-on experience with MRP and ERP planning modules (ERPNext, SAP, or equivalent)
- Experience managing supplier lead times, safety stock, and component shortage escalation
- Strong Excel and data skills; comfortable building planning models and dashboards

Preferred

- Experience planning for mixed-model, variable-grade, or refurbished product where input quality varies
- Exposure to repair or reverse-logistics planning, where yield and parts availability are uncertain
- Familiarity with MES and shop-floor data capture for real-time schedule tracking
- Experience with S&OP; or IBP processes

KPIs

- Schedule adherence (daily line schedule vs. actual output)
- Plan attainment (units built vs. plan, by line and by model)
- Component shortage rate (line stoppages caused by shortages)
- WIP days
- Forecast accuracy (demand vs. actual build by model family)
- Inventory turns for components and displays

Qualifications

B.E. / B.Tech in Industrial, Mechanical, or Electronics Engineering, or MBA in Operations or Supply Chain

APICS CPIM or CSCP preferred
