A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A SCHEDULING ASSISTANT

As a Scheduling Assistant, you assist in analyzing our available production capacity to determine the ideal priority and sequence for production. You accurately calculate production times based on variable factors and effectively communicate any schedule changes to all affected departments. In order to maintain production schedules, you ensure that shipping and job delivery dates meet customer requirements and help enter manufacturing jobs into our production system. Your accurate and efficient data entry skills are essential to your success. You also enter changes to existing sales orders, such as shipping dates, job delivery dates, job classifications, and build locations.

To ensure component demands are valid, you monitor our material requirements planning (MRP) system. You also provide support to Purchasing to incorporate supplier's delivery date changes into the production schedule. Using Microsoft Project, you generate production schedules. The Production Shop foreman depends on your support in producing various reports. You assist with the development and maintenance of macros, reports, spreadsheets, MS Project files, and MS Access databases to streamline and improve the efficiency and accuracy of our scheduling system. You enjoy using your attention to detail, organizational skills, and data entry skills to help keep our production schedules moving efficiently!
