• Review system parameters, master data, lead times, planning settings, and other inputs affecting MRP and scheduling
• Assist with production scheduling setup and optimization
• Develop practical tools for managing shortages, purchasing requirements, supplier performance, material availability, and production priorities
• Recommend Epicor best practices rather than simply recreating existing manual processes within the ERP system
• Document improved workflows and standard operating procedures
• Provide hands-on training and knowledge transfer to MST employees
• Support implementation and adoption of improved processes
• Work directly with planning, purchasing, operations, and management teams
• Perform other duties as assigned
