1. WORK EXPERIENCE
Elring Klinger (Great Britain) Ltd – Redcar, United Kingdom Nov 2011 - Aug 2015
MASTER PRODUCTION SCHEDULLER/ PLANNER (automotive-sealing and shielding technology)
Construct and update the MPS, evaluate changes to the MPS in terms of their impact an
capacity plans, process transactions (T-codes), convert planned orders to FPO, conduct
forecasting analysis, carry out a periodic review (rolling through time), manage backlog of
orders and ATP value (forecast consuming), execute trade-offs between customer needs and
MPC system objectives, further develop planning strategy management (aggregate planning,
level/chase/alternative strategies, JIT concept), analyze inventory levels to minimize
inventory costs, measure MPS effectiveness, undertake supervisory, review material supply
and demand.
Prepare detailed production plans using the MRP to support the MPS (SAP/ERP), establish
priority sequencing and lead time of each operation to meet shipping dates, schedule
workflow, realising orders by converting the planned order to scheduled receipt, update
system planning factors such as changing lot sizes and safety stocks, using explicit timing and
discrete lot sizes to minimize WIP and storage time, examine CPA to reconcile errors or
inconsistencies to eliminate root causes, solve critical material shortage problems,
continuously monitor KPI and OEE.
Analyze the CRP procedure-calculate time-phased capacity required to complete the MPS in
line the availability resources and requirements to avoid both deteriorating delivery
performance and escalating WIP or needless expense due to excess capacity, examine
input/output analysis by monitoring the actual consumption of capacity, indicate the need to
update capacity plans, control planned/actual shop performance deviation (actual lot sizes and
actual lead time).
Implement JIT approaches to the MRP where required to reduce the complexity of detailed
planning, WIP inventories and minimize waste, use make-to-order MRP approach, introduce
pull visual system (Kanban), SPC, and continuous improvement concepts such as reduction
lead times, WIP, elimination of discrete batches, set-up time reduction, streamline execution
etc.
Highlight areas of concern, resolve issues and ensure key potential problems are
communicated with key personnel to pursue total efficiency attainment, cost reduction,
regularly conduct team meetings to discuss the key issues and designate responsibility for
relevant action to be taken.
