Position Summary
The Production Control Manager leads the planning, scheduling and control of production flow to meet customer delivery commitments. The role manages a team of production controllers and acts as the link between Customer Service, Engineering, NPI, Procurement, Warehouse and Manufacturing. The manager is accountable for on-time delivery, schedule adherence and WIP health, and for giving management clear, data-driven visibility of fab performance.
Candidates with experience managing complex, multi-product portfolios in a fast-paced semiconductor manufacturing environment are encouraged to apply.
Key Responsibilities
Planning & Scheduling
Own the master production schedule (MPS), aligning sales orders and demand forecasts with available fab capacity.
Oversee production control and line schedules to control WIP flow, covering forecasting, MRP, engineering changes, urgent lots and inventory turns.
Maintain the demand management master plan and ensure it is reviewed regularly with Sales and Operations.
Set order sequencing and priority rules to meet due dates while minimizing changeovers.
Execution & Delivery
Drive production to achieve KPIs such as Moves, Cycle Time (C/T) and shipment commits.
Give Operations clear direction and instructions so that customer delivery commitments are met.
Assess and provide commits for qualification and expedite lots.
Monitor production progress, identify bottlenecks and adjust schedules proactively.
WIP & Inventory Management
Track and limit excess WIP, and manage WIP turnover and aging.
Manage inventory across Raw, WIP, FG and obsolete parts to optimize material flow and inventory turns.
Capacity & Line Health
Continuously identify gaps between fab capability and planned capacity requirements.
Achieve and maintain line linearity through improvement initiatives.
Lead flow efficiency and bottleneck detection reviews, driving corrective actions with cross-functional teams.
Cross-Functional Coordination
Synchronize with Sales, Engineering, NPI, Procurement and Warehouse on demand changes, new product introductions, material availability and shipment priorities.
Lead regular S&OP, WIP and delivery-gap meetings, and escalate risks to senior management.
Reporting & Analytics
Work with the reporting team to build comprehensive dashboards and reports that visualize fab performance.
Report on and analyze on-time delivery, schedule adherence, WIP turnover and aging, and flow efficiency.
People Management
Lead, coach and develop the production control team, setting clear goals and performance expectations.
Build planning discipline, standard work and best practices across the team.
Other
Perform ad hoc duties as assigned.
