Job Description

As Production Planner at NTS Singapore, you are responsible for translating customer demand into executable and capacity-feasible production plans.

• Issuing finite daily and weekly production schedules while optimizing sequencing to reduce bottlenecks, setup times, and inefficiencies

• Collaborating closely with Buyers and Material Planners to eliminate shortages, manage open POs, and proactively mitigate supply risks

• Conducting capacity vs. load analysis to identify constraints early and proposing countermeasures such as overtime, subcontracting, or resequencing

• Supporting Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) by providing insights on forecast accuracy, inventory projections, and capacity limitations

• Maintaining planning master data (BOMs, routings, cycle times, lead times) in ERP systems to ensure accurate and reliable outputs

• Driving continuous improvement through KPI monitoring (OTIF, schedule adherence, WIP turns, forecast accuracy) and applying Lean tools to stabilize and enhance planning processes
  

Job Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, or related field

• 3–7 years of experience in HMHV or HMLV manufacturing environments (precision engineering, mechatronics, electronics, machining, or assembly preferred)

• Proficiency in ERP/MRP systems (Navision experience is a strong advantage)

• Analytical and structured thinker with the ability to balance short-term operational issues with long-term improvements

• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence supervisors, PMO, buyers, and engineers to align with production plans
