A Production Planner schedules manufacturing activities to match customer demand with available capacity, using ERP systems and demand forecasting to determine what gets produced and when. Sitting within supply chain or operations departments, this role coordinates closely with procurement and warehouse teams to balance inventory management against production scheduling constraints. Strong supply chain coordination skills help planners avoid both stockouts and excess inventory across the production cycle.
