Production Scheduler Jobs in Massachusetts

A Production Scheduler in the manufacturing industry plays a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and efficient production flow. They are responsible for developing and maintaining detailed production schedules, coordinating with various departments to ensure that all parts, supplies, and equipment are available when needed, and monitoring the production process to ensure it stays on schedule. They also adjust schedules as necessary to accommodate changes in demand or production capacity, and communicate any changes or delays to relevant parties. These professionals play a critical role in optimizing production operations, minimizing costs, and ensuring timely delivery of products.

Production Schedulers should possess strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and problem-solving abilities. They should be proficient in using scheduling software and have a solid understanding of production processes and supply chain management. In terms of certification, a Production Scheduler may benefit from certification programs such as the CPIM (Certified in Production and Inventory Management) or CSCP (Certified Supply Chain Professional) from APICS. Prior to becoming a Production Scheduler, an individual may have roles such as Production Assistant, Production Planner, or Supply Chain Analyst which provide a solid foundation in understanding the production process and developing effective scheduling strategies.
