Your Job

As a Production Control Planner at Molex, you'll play a pivotal role in orchestrating material flow, production schedules, and inventory levels to ensure our manufacturing operations run smoothly and efficiently. You will serve as the bridge between demand forecasts, procurement, and shop-floor execution — driving on-time delivery, minimizing excess inventory, and continuously improving process reliability.

Our Team

You'll join the Supply Chain & Manufacturing Planning division, a cross-functional group of demand planners, procurement specialists, and operations engineers. We partner closely with R&D, Quality Assurance, and Plant Operations to balance customer needs, resource capacity, and cost-efficiency across multiple production sites.

What You Will Do

• Collaborate with demand planners and sales teams to translate customer orders and forecasts into executable production schedules
• Coordinate material availability by partnering with procurement and warehouse teams to mitigate supply-chain disruptions
• Monitor key performance indicators (on-time delivery, schedule adherence) and lead root-cause analyses to drive corrective actions
• Identify capacity constraints and recommend process improvements or resource reallocations to optimize throughput
• Serve as the primary point of contact for production control, communicating updates and resolving conflicts between stakeholders

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in production planning, material requirements planning (MRP), or inventory control
• Proficiency in ERP systems (e.g., Glovia, SAP, Oracle) and Microsoft Excel for data analysis and reporting
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to synthesize complex data into clear action plans
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, capable of influencing cross-functional teams without direct authority

What Will Put You Ahead

• APICS CPIM or CSCP certification
• Experience with Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma methodologies
• Advanced Excel skills (macros, VBA, pivot tables) or familiarity with Power BI/Tableau
• Previous experience in the Aerospace & Defense industries
• Working knowledge of scheduling optimization tools (e.g., APS software)
