The Role

As a Production Planner, you will be responsible for developing detailed production schedules in both weekly and daily planning systems, ensuring a smooth balance between supply and demand by monitoring and managing stock levels. You will input essential data into the SCADA system and raise production orders for seed cleaning, growing, and packing via the ERP system to meet customer demand.

Additionally, you'll create warehouse picks, monitor raw material usage, and ensure accurate records are maintained.

You will also be tasked with maintaining the MRP spreadsheet, recording production activity timings in the ERP system, and scheduling orders for customer delivery. Your role will involve providing reports on planning and supply chain performance, coordinating between departments to align planning with overall business objectives, and continuously seeking ways to improve production processes, reduce costs, and enhance efficiency across the farm.

  • Proven experience in Production Planning, Supply Chain, or Logistics, ideally within a fast-paced, short-shelf-food production environment.
  • Strong analytical abilities, with a keen eye for interpreting data and making well-informed decisions.
  • Competence in using ERP systems or other planning tools to manage scheduling and supply chain operations.
  • A problem-solver who can swiftly address unexpected challenges or shifts in demand.
  • Excellent communication skills, allowing you to collaborate effectively with teams across different functions.
