Production Scheduler/Coordinator

Production scheduler / coordinator uses their knowledge of the production process and reports to create daily production schedules and makes sure that roasting and packaging schedules are aligned.

When either roasting or packaging are ahead or behind, the other schedule needs to be adjusted to be in sync to avoid WOC (waiting on coffee) or excess inventory in brown WIP (intermediate inventory).

As a production scheduler / coordinator, you should be able to multitask and provide quick responses to production problems.

As generating reports and schedules may require the use of software, you must also have an aptitude for computers. A top-notch production scheduler should help ensure that company objectives are achieved and that all deadlines are met.
