Job Description:

Main Duties/Responsibilities:

Data Capture & Integrity Management

Source Data Collection: Responsible for the daily collection of raw operational data from the production floor, including machine uptime, labor hours, and output volumes.
Data Auditing: Perform regular "sanity checks" and audits on captured data to ensure absolute accuracy before it is used for planning or reporting.
Inventory Tracking: Capture and maintain real-time data regarding raw materials, work-in-progress (WIP), and finished goods to prevent shortages and excess.

Dashboard Development & Visualisation

Performance Visualisation: Build, update, and maintain functional dashboards (using Excel or Power BI) that track key metrics.
Stakeholder Reporting: Prepare clear visual reports for production meetings, helping stakeholders quickly identify trends and operational bottlenecks.
Automation of Reporting: Streamline existing manual reporting processes to ensure data is updated with minimal delay.

Capacity & Resource Planning Support

Production Scheduling Support: Work closely with the Master Production Scheduler (MPS) to align daily production schedules with available labor and machine capacity.
Scenario Modelling: Help simulate "what-if" scenarios (e.g., the impact of a machine breakdown or an urgent order) to help the team pivot quickly.
Resource Allocation: Monitor resource constraints and provide data-backed recommendations on how to best distribute personnel and equipment to meet targets.

Daily Operational Problem Solving

Bottleneck Identification: Use data captured from the floor to pinpoint specific areas where production is slowing down and propose immediate solutions.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the "data bridge" between the planning office and the production floor, ensuring communication is based on accurate facts.

AI & Automation:

Process Mapping: Document current manual planning workflows to identify candidates for AI-driven automation.
Continuous Learning: Proactively up-skill in AI tools and frameworks to transition traditional planning into "intelligent" planning.

AI Integration:

Lead and Assist in the deployment of intelligent AI agents designed to automate routine data entry and predictive scheduling.
Train internal stakeholders to use AI agents and provide support in challenges and issues.
