Monitors daily production results and revises scheduling responsive to changes in the flow of materials, designs, equipment, or other resources. Being an Master Scheduler I utilizes ERP systems, planning and scheduling software, or other database tools to develop and maintain master schedules and generate reporting. Develops, prepares, and maintains production schedules to guide the production activities and resources that achieve maximum efficiency and meet output and timeline objectives. my old company is literally 5 minutes from my house.Įst.The Master Scheduler I gathers data from internal teams to incorporate materials, inventories, resource availability, and delivery commitments into schedules. Haven’t been able to get out of the hole since.Īs far as commute. After COVID hit and they reduced production staff by about a third, business picked up and they ended up over $12M past due. But there was no enforcement from management to stick to kanban replenishment. In my previous role I interacted with them a lot, I was planning production by the implementation and management of kanban/ROP systems. Both have been at the company for over 20 years and I had a great relationship with them. It’s a large company, I will report to the s&op manager and there is a senior master scheduler who would work with my as well as the master data governance. I gave my notice and worked hard on my projects/tasks up until I turned in my laptop, phone, and key fob and walked out the door. Thanks for the comment, I did leave on good terms. It's a well respected job and not many folks out there who can do it and nit want to jump off a bridge. Not a lot of companies take back employees who left so you must have left on good terms.

They could also bring back the chap who retired as a consultant either in person or zoom to help you transition. OJT is really the only way to fully learn this position. I would demand high pay, great immediate benefits, hybrid so you don't have to commute in as much, and 3-5 weeks vacation. The downside is with the risk of human error, when IT hits the fan, it's often the scheduler who's the target. It's not exactly something you can learn in college, but studies in Stats and anything analytical is helpful. They have a lot of responsibilities and in all honesty, depending on the MRP System, good companies need them to function properly. Is there anyone who’s currently working in this position or similar who can give me some honest feedback? What do you like/hate about it?Ī Master Scheduled is considered an important position in all size companies but even more so in medium to are size ones. I feel like my team/management would try to walk me through the process but I’m not entirely sure what exactly is involved in the master scheduler and demand planning role.Ĭan anyone give me an overview of what to expect of being in this role? I’m concerned about whether I would succeed in this role due to lack of practical experience.

I have about 3-4 years of scheduling components and some finished goods. I have my CPIM, working on my associates. My previous manager reached out to me and told me to apply for a new position(see title) with the old company. Also the pay/circumstances aren’t what was promised. I found a new job but I’m hating the commute and the time I lose with my family. I wore a ton of hats and was constantly pulled in dIfferent directions.

I liked working there overall, just didn’t enjoy MY job. I recently left a company, I was very unhappy with the work I was doing for a while. I don’t have practical experience what should I expect? What’s your feedback if you’ve ever been in this role or something similar? TL DR: left my job, previous manager wants me to come back in a different position.
