Managing MRP exception messages and planned orders, maintaining safety stock and reorder point parameters, collaborating with procurement on purchase order timing, coordinating with production on schedule changes, monitoring and managing inventory levels, and supporting S&OP processes.
2–5 years of manufacturing materials planning or production scheduling experience, strong ERP/MRP system proficiency, APICS CPIM candidacy preferred, and genuine understanding of manufacturing scheduling constraints and lead time management.
Materials planners who understand the interplay between MRP parameters, supplier lead times, and production scheduling — rather than just executing MRP exception messages mechanically — are significantly more effective at managing the inventory/service trade-off that defines the role.
