Master Planner/Scheduler
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from summary, responsibilities, requirements, skills, schedule. Also location maybe in About? Could be separate but not required. We'll include location in About the role paragraph maybe.
We need to format responsibilities as list items. The responsibilities are many sentences; we can split each sentence as
- . Ensure we keep all content.
Similarly requirements: list items for education, experience, certification, knowledge, etc.
Skills: list items for communication, interpersonal, multitasking, organization, attention to detail, etc.
Schedule: maybe a
with shift info.
Let's extract.
First, purpose paragraph: "At Benchmark, we are driven by our purpose: to innovate for a healthier, safer, and better-connected world to create a brighter future. When you join us, you become part of a team passionate about making a meaningful impact across various sectors, including commercial aerospace, defense, advanced computing, next-generation communications, complex industrials, medical, and semiconductor capital equipment. We prioritize career growth, fostering a culture that ensures you reach your full potential. At Benchmark, your work is purpose-driven, enabling you to create a positive impact on the world and make your career truly meaningful. You’ll be part of a collaborative and inclusive team that values your ideas and contributions."
Then summary: "Summary: Applies and monitors a capacity and long-range sales planning and scheduling system in accordance with customer or Program Management requests, contractual terms, and approved Inventory Management techniques. Develops manufacturing plans and schedules, for products, to be produced by Operations Manufacturing. Reflects progress against schedules and makes recommendations for resource allocation through written and graphic reports. In large sites, supervises Scheduler activities to ensure achievement of customer and business commitments."
We can combine purpose and summary into About the role paragraph. Probably okay.
Now responsibilities list: Let's extract each bullet-like sentence from "Responsibilities:" section.
Responsibilities text:
"Develops plans and schedules of manufacturing activities on site wide major programs or product lines from engineering release through to product delivery of completed prime equipment and spares.
Monitors customer focus team adherence to the corporate demand management policy.

We need to split into list items; ensure each item is a complete sentence. Some sentences have semicolons; we can keep as one item.
Now requirements/qualifications: after responsibilities, there is "Other information:" then list of skills etc. Actually after responsibilities, there is "Other information:" then a bunch of skill-like statements. Then later "Education: 4-year degree preferred or equivalent combination of education and experience as approved by executive management". Also "Geographical Location: Alabama: Huntsville Physical Location: Huntsville, AL Shift: Shift 1 Work Schedule: M-F 0800-1700 Full Time". Also earlier there is "5+ years of experience in planning and scheduling in more complex accounts APICS CPIM certification preferred Ability to provide leadership and mentorship to others in the planning activity Proficient in associated Microsoft Word Office products, Infor ERP, Kinaxis Rapid Response as they apply to the position Demonstrate understanding of the extended process of order receipt and entry, material procurement, order release, assembly, shipment, and invoice payment Understanding of the extended process of return debits and credits, return receipt and routing generation, Process Feedback System (PFS) entry and order release, return/project cost analysis, and return/project invoicing and shipment Understanding of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tools (Baan or equivalent) as they apply to the position Effective decision-making skills as it relates to providing direction to the manufacturing floor and assigning priorities to meet customer goals and objectives Ability to exercise discretion and independent judgment when representing the company in supply chain related decisions Effective leadership skills with coworkers and customers Ability to effectively mentor co-workers Ability to independently drive solutions to complex supply chain issues with limited supervision Demonstrate teamwork and the ability to operate on diverse project teams with minimal direction Demonstrate confidentiality and the ability to represent the company in a professional manner Participate in a continuous improvement activity Ability to understand and apply continuous improvement (CI) tools and participate in Lean and CI activities Comprehends contractual /MSA language as it pertains to the position"
We need to separate into Requirements (education, experience, certification) and Skills (soft skills, technical skills). Let's parse.
From "Other information:" list:
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Effective interpersonal skills
- Effective multitasking skills and the ability to take on additional responsibilities as required
- Effective organization and prioritization skills
- Demonstrate high attention to detail
- Ability to work with diverse groups
- Demonstrates discretion, confidentiality, independent judgment and professionalism.
- Ability to work with minimal supervision and guidance, exercising discretion and independent judgment.
- Understanding of and ability to use continuous improvement tools.
- Strong customer service and client focus
- Working knowledge of productivity tools, including Microsoft Office products and WebEx conferencing software
Then after that: "5+ years of experience in planning and scheduling in more complex accounts APICS CPIM certification preferred Ability to provide leadership and mentorship to others in the planning activity Proficient in associated Microsoft Word Office products, Infor ERP, Kinaxis Rapid Response as they apply to the position Demonstrate understanding of the extended process of order receipt and entry, material procurement, order release, assembly, shipment, and invoice payment Understanding of the extended process of return debits and credits, return receipt and routing generation, Process Feedback System (PFS) entry and order release, return/project cost analysis, and return/project invoicing and shipment Understanding of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tools (Baan or equivalent) as they apply to the position Effective decision-making skills as it relates to providing direction to the manufacturing floor and assigning priorities to meet customer goals and objectives Ability to exercise discretion and independent judgment when representing the company in supply chain related decisions Effective leadership skills with coworkers and customers Ability to effectively mentor co-workers Ability to independently drive solutions to complex supply chain issues with limited supervision Demonstrate teamwork and the ability to operate on diverse project teams with minimal direction Demonstrate confidentiality and the ability to represent the company in a professional manner Participate in a continuous improvement activity Ability to understand and apply continuous improvement (CI) tools and participate in Lean and CI activities Comprehends contractual /MSA language as it pertains to the position"
Then "Education: 4-year degree preferred or equivalent combination of education and experience as approved by executive management"
Then location and schedule.
Thus we can create Requirements section: includes Education, Experience (5+ years), Certification (APICS CPIM preferred), Knowledge of specific systems (Infor ERP, Kinaxis Rapid Response, Microsoft Office, WebEx, understanding of order processes, ERP tools Baan, etc.), Understanding of continuous improvement tools, comprehension of contractual/MSA language.
Skills section: communication, interpersonal, multitasking, organization, attention to detail, ability to work with diverse groups, discretion, confidentiality, independent judgment, professionalism, ability to work with minimal supervision, customer service/client focus, leadership, mentorship, teamwork, decision-making, etc.
We need to avoid duplication. Some items appear in both lists; we need to decide where to place. Probably put soft skills in Skills, and technical/experience/education in Requirements.
Let's extract.
Skills (soft):
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Effective interpersonal skills
- Effective multitasking skills and the ability to take on additional responsibilities as required
- Effective organization and prioritization skills

- APICS CPIM certification preferred
- Proficient in associated Microsoft Word Office products, Infor ERP, Kinaxis Rapid Response as they apply to the position
- Working knowledge of productivity tools, including Microsoft Office products and WebEx conferencing software (maybe skill)

- Understanding of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tools (Baan or equivalent) as they apply to the position
- Comprehends contractual /MSA language as it pertains to the position
- Education: 4-year degree preferred or equivalent combination of education and experience as approved by executive management
Also "Understanding of and ability to use continuous improvement tools." could be skill.
We'll create Requirements list with education, experience, certification, knowledge of systems,
for prose. Do not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate. We need to preserve all substantive information.
