The Planner is responsible for planning, scheduling and material control across three areas:CNC machine shop — shop-floor manufacturing planning, machine and labour loading, job sequencing.Welding assembly department — production planning for chamber components and welding assembly, including First Article and ramp.Spin Frame assembly project — project-specific production planning from Lot 257 (pilot) and routine ownership from Lot 258 onwards.【Key responsibilities】- Production planning & schedulingTranslate the customer demand and rolling forecast into master production schedules across the machine shop, welding assembly and spin frame lines.Produce executable daily/weekly production plans and release work to the shop floor; sequence jobs to meet delivery dates.Maintain schedule adherence and manage changes, priorities and expediting to protect customer OTIF.- Shop-floor resource planningPlan machine capacity and labour/operator resource against the schedule; identify and resolve bottlenecks and overloads.Liaise daily with shop-floor supervisors and the Production Manager on progress, constraints and recovery actions.Coordinate WIP flow between the machine shop, welding assembly and final assembly.- Material requirements planning (MRP)Run BOM explosion and net requirements against inventory and open orders to generate the material requirement plan for production.Maintain planning parameters — lead times, lot sizes, safety stock — and inventory coverage to support the schedule.Pass material requirements to the intercompany supply chain (GSG) and track fulfilment.- Commercial — purchase order generationGenerate and issue purchase orders to the relevant suppliers (ETLA, INFINSYS, GJOS, internal fabrication) in a timely manner to meet production demand, in line with the SO/PO SOP.Apply commercial awareness — agreed pricing, payment terms and Incoterms — and flag commercial issues to the commercial team.Monitor supplier acknowledgement and committed delivery; expedite and escalate delays before they affect the schedule.- Coordination, liaison & reportingAct as the planning interface between the shop floor, the Production Manager and the commercial / supply-chain teams.Provide production status, capacity and risk reporting, and support the monthly business / supplier reviews.Maintain the planning records and traceability required by the quality and supply-chain procedures.
Operate floor-type boring machines and digital-display boring machines in accordance with machining drawings and process sheets to complete boring, milling, and drilling of workpieces such as boxes, machine frames, and flanges.
Handle workpiece clamping and fixture setup, tooling selection, and cutting parameter adjustment; perform first-piece self-inspection and in-process patrol inspection to control dimensional tolerances and surface finish.
Perform daily equipment cleaning and lubrication maintenance; promptly report machine malfunctions and fixture damage to the relevant parties.
