Production Planning Coordinator
Role Overview
As a Production Planning Coordinator on the OPS Planning team, you will help ensure the factory has the materials and coordinated plans needed to meet production requirements.

While procurement will be your primary responsibility, this role also requires active involvement in production scheduling, inventory management, master data and other Operations Planning activities.
