The MRP Planner owns the delivery commitment and planning execution for assigned programs. The role reviews daily MRP output and the 0–90 day planning horizon, acts on exception messages, confirms material support for planned orders, and resolves material shortages so each program stays on track to its contractual delivery date. The MRP Planner owns the long-range planned-order horizon and hands short-term release decisions to Production Scheduling, which sequences and releases work to the floor. Program-office communication runs through program coordination, and systemic cross-program issues escalates to the MDO Planning Lead. The role sits within MDO Integrated Planning and coordinates closely with Production Scheduling, Material Control, Supply Chain, program coordination, and the production floor. Responsibilities Plan and protect delivery commitments for assigned programs.

Review planned orders eligible for release in the long-range horizon and confirm material support before handing short-term release decisions to Production Scheduling. Release or reject MRP-generated purchase requisitions after validating quantity, date, and source. Resolve material shortages. Work material shortages and supplier delays directly with Supply Chain to keep released orders covered, initiating purchase requisitions or expedite requests when there is no stock. Escalate to program coordination when a shortage cannot be resolved with Supply Chain, and assess delivery impact once the supplier issue is resolved. Maintain demand-signal and data accuracy. Validate that SAP demand signals reflect program-office intent, flag implausible routings and recurring rework BOMs to engineering, and keep planned orders and planning parameters accurate so the plan stays stable.
