Position Summary

The Master Scheduler is responsible for translating customer demand, forecasts, backlog, and long-range business requirements into an executable, capacity-constrained master supply plan across Infinitums Motor and Fan Systems operations. The role owns the Master Production Schedule and provides a forward-looking view of supply, capacity, inventory, and material constraints to support reliable customer commitments.

The Master Scheduler is the primary Supply Chain point of contact for Sales Operations / Customer Service for product availability, customer requested dates, and supply commitments. The role leads two Materials Planners located in Ramos Arizpeone supporting Motors and one supporting Fan Systemsand serves as the focal point for coordinating supply between Motor manufacturing and the Fan Systems contract manufacturing network.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate customer orders, forecasts, backlog, and long-range demand into an integrated Master Production Schedule for Motors and Fan Systems.
• Review customer requirements against available inventory, manufacturing capacity, material availability, supplier constraints, and production lead times before establishing supply commit dates.
• Serve as the primary Supply Chain interface with Sales Operations / Customer Service for product availability, customer requested dates, committed dates, pull-ins, expedites, and delivery-risk communication.
• Provide realistic and executable customer delivery commitments using available-to-promise and capacity-to-promise principles; escalate requirements that cannot be supported and provide recovery or alternative scenarios.
• Review long-range demand against manufacturing capacity, labor, equipment, supplier constraints, and Contract Manufacturer capabilities; identify capacity gaps early enough to support mitigation decisions.
• Develop and maintain capacity outlooks by product family and planning horizon and support annual operating plans, forecast reviews, and long-range capacity planning.
• Coordinate supply between the Materials Planner Motors and Materials Planner Fan Systems to ensure Motor production supports both direct Motor demand and Fan Systems requirements.
• Establish priorities and allocation recommendations when available Motor supply cannot fully support all customer and Fan Systems requirements.
• Ensure Fan Systems motor requirements are incorporated into the Ramos Arizpe Motor production plan with sufficient lead time to support Contract Manufacturer schedules and customer commitments.
• Lead and develop the two Materials Planners; establish planning standards, priorities, operating cadences, escalation requirements, and accountability for schedule adherence and material availability.
• Review planner-generated material plans, shortage reports, inventory risks, and production schedules for alignment with the Master Production Schedule and business priorities.
• Lead cross-functional demand-versus-supply and production planning reviews with Sales Operations, Purchasing, Manufacturing, Contract Manufacturing, Logistics, Import/Export, Engineering, Quality, GTM, and Finance.
• Identify supply, material, capacity, supplier, logistics, and Contract Manufacturer constraints and drive timely recovery plans, escalation, and executive visibility.
• Coordinate with Purchasing on long-lead materials and supplier constraints; with Engineering on ECO/MCO transitions and NPI; and with Logistics/Fulfillment on product availability and shipment requirements.
• Maintain and govern master scheduling parameters within ERP/MRP and planning systems, including planning horizons, lead times, production rates, capacities, lot sizes, and scheduling rules.
• Support implementation and optimization of NetSuite, Kinaxis, dashboards, reporting automation, and exception-based planning processes.
• Develop and maintain planning reports and KPIs covering customer commitments, OTIF, master schedule attainment, schedule adherence, capacity utilization, material availability, backlog, forecast alignment, and inventory health.
• Conduct root-cause analysis of missed schedules and customer commitments and drive corrective actions that improve planning reliability and execution.
