Master Scheduler

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro about Watts: mission, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly. We have "Scope of Position" describing role. That could be "About the role". Then "Primary Job Duties And Responsibilities" -> Responsibilities. Then "Travel Requirements: Less than 10%" maybe part of Requirements? Travel is a requirement. Could be under Requirements. Then "Required Qualifications" list -> Requirements? Actually they have "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications sections. The instruction: Use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need separate sections: Requirements (maybe required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (maybe specific skills like SAP, Power BI, problem solving). Benefits we have "Watts In It For You" describing benefits. Pay: not specified explicitly; they say "Competitive compensation based on your skills, qualifications and experience". That's vague but it's a statement about pay. Should we include Pay section? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. They do state "Competitive compensation based on your skills, qualifications and experience". That's a statement about pay, albeit not specific numbers. It's still stating something about pay. So we can include Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: They mention "Your scheduled work hours will be communicated to you by your manager." Also "You will be required to work in the office at the Franklin, NH location (Monday – Friday)." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: they have list. Now we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. The pay statement is "Competitive compensation based on your skills, qualifications and experience". That's not filler like "commensurate with experience"? It's similar but maybe acceptable as it's actual statement. We'll include. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include details from About the role (Scope of Position), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (travel, maybe location?), Qualifications (required and preferred), Skills (maybe list of skills like SAP, Power BI, problem solving, organizational, decision-making, etc.), Benefits (list), Pay (statement), Schedule (details). We must use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not needed. We must not include Job ID etc. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft sections:

  About the role

  Scope of Position: The individual in this critical role is responsible for the oversight and strategic planning of production schedules, ensuring that resources, materials, and labor (capacity) are effectively aligned with short-term operational requirements and long-term business objectives for each Value Stream. The role serves as a key partner to Operations, Materials, Sales, Supply Chain, and senior leadership in translating business forecasts and organizational priorities into executable production and inventory strategies. This position is responsible for supervising 6-10 production planning associates, providing leadership for day-to-day execution while developing planning strategies that maximize productivity, optimize inventory investment, improve service levels, minimize changeovers, and support business growth. This position reports to the Materials Manager, is onsite and is based in Franklin, NH.

  That seems good.

  Responsibilities

  • Develop, maintain, and execute master production schedules that align operational capacity with customer demand, inventory objectives, and strategic business goals while optimizing flow within value streams to support strategic decision-making and growth initiatives.
  • Partner with Sales, Operations, Procurement, and Leadership teams in the Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process to ensure business objectives align with demand forecasts, production plans and workforce planning.
  • Develop and implement short- and long-range production planning strategies, utilizing demand trends, sales forecasts, capacity analysis, and inventory data to minimize changeovers, maximize productivity, and improve service performance, schedule attainment, and supply chain effectiveness across all operations.
  • Provide SAP Super User support, leadership, and coaching for all Planning and Scheduling activities while identifying opportunities to improve systems utilization and planning effectiveness.
  • Responsible for clearly communicating production schedules, capacity constraints, inventory and labor risks, and strategic planning recommendations to senior leadership.
  • Develop and execute inventory and production planning strategies by balancing Make-to-Stock (MTS), Make-to-Order (MTO), and Assembly-to-Order (ATO) product lines; optimizing safety stock, WIP, and Kanban levels; and maintaining target fill rates while supporting customer service, inventory, and operational performance objectives.
  • Provide agent support regarding sales orders, inventory concerns, and escalation of critical customer orders while ensuring alignment with overall business priorities.
  • Supervise team members, develop succession plans, support professional growth and development, and build organizational capability. Establish departmental goals, performance measures, and key performance indicators (KPIs) that align with plant and organizational objectives.
  • Collaborate with Quality, Distribution Centers, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain stakeholders to proactively address issues, mitigate risks, and support strategic business initiatives.
  • Lead continuous improvement initiatives focused on eliminating waste, improving material flow, optimizing inventory levels, increasing schedule adherence, and strengthening end-to-end planning processes through data-driven analysis and root-cause problem solving.
  • Assume responsibility for other projects and duties as assigned by the Materials Manager or Company management.

  Requirements

  Travel Requirements: Less than 10% travel.

  Maybe also include location? But location is in About the role. Could also be under Requirements: Onsite in Franklin, NH. But we already have location in About. Might be okay. We could also include "Must successfully establish employment eligibility and satisfactorily complete background checks and required pre-employment testing as a condition of employment." That's a requirement. Let's include that. So Requirements section could have a list: travel, background check, etc. Let's do:

  Requirements

  • Travel: Less than 10% required.
  • Must successfully establish employment eligibility and satisfactorily complete background checks and required pre-employment testing as a condition of employment.
  But also maybe include "Ability to remain seated..." etc? Those are physical requirements; could be under Requirements or maybe under Working Conditions but not a heading. Since we have no Working Conditions heading, we could include them under Requirements as well. However they'd be many bullet points; but we can include them as a list under Requirements if we want to preserve all substantive info. The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can include physical abilities as requirements list. But we need to decide if we want to create a separate section for Physical Requirements? Not in allowed headings. Could put under Requirements. Let's include them. Thus Requirements section will have sub-sections? We'll just list all. List items: - Travel: Less than 10% required. - Must successfully establish employment eligibility and satisfactorily complete background checks and required pre-employment testing as a condition of employment. - Ability to remain seated at a desk or workstation for extended periods. - Ability to perform repetitive tasks like typing on a keyboard or using a mouse for extended periods. - Ability to physically move around the office, organize or transport files, packages, or other office-related materials. - Ability to read documents, use a computer, and perform data entry tasks. - Ability to communicate clearly with management and coworkers, particularly in meetings or phone calls. - Ability to operate standard office equipment such as computers, printers, phones, and copiers. - Ability to occasionally lift and carry light objects, such as office supplies, documents, or small equipment. - Ability to wear personal protective equipment, which may include, but is not limited to, safety shoes, hearing protection, and safety glasses. That seems comprehensive. Now Qualifications section: We have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Qualifications section with subheadings? But we only allowed

    for section headings; we could have nested

    ? Not allowed? The instruction only mentions using

    for section headings; doesn't forbid other headings but we should stick to

    for main sections. We could include Required and Preferred as

    inside Qualifications, but maybe better to just list them as bullet points with labels. We'll do:

    Qualifications

    • Required:
      • 10+ years of planning and/or master scheduling experience.
      • High level of proficiency with SAP and Power BI or similar analytical platform.
      • Demonstrated ability to read, produce, and analyze operational data and develop planning strategies that support business objectives.
      • Strong problem-solving, organizational, and decision-making skills.
      • Understanding of and adherence to applicable laws, codes, policies, regulations, and safety practices and procedures, as applicable.
    • Preferred:
      • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent related experience.
      • Lean training with Six Sigma Green or Black Belt certification strongly preferred.
      • Experience participating in Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) or similar business planning processes.
      • Proven ability to align operational planning with organizational goals.
      • Previous experience in team leadership roles.
    That preserves all. Skills section: Could list specific skills like SAP, Power BI, S&OP, inventory management, production planning, leadership, communication, analytical, etc. But we already covered many in Qualifications. However we could still create a Skills section summarizing key competencies: SAP Super User, Power BI, data analysis, problem solving, organizational, decision-making, leadership, communication, continuous improvement, etc. But we risk duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We already have many sections; maybe we can omit Skills if it's thin. But we need to include Skills heading only if posting has real specific content for it. The posting does mention skills like SAP, Power BI, problem solving, organizational, decision-making, communication, leadership, etc. Those are indeed skills. But we already covered them under Qualifications (required). Could still create Skills section but might be redundant. However we could combine them into Skills and keep Qualifications for education/experience. Let's think: The headings list includes Skills separate from Qualifications. So we could put Required Qualifications under Qualifications (education/experience) and Skills under Skills (technical and soft skills). That seems reasonable. Thus: Qualifications section: education, experience, certifications. Skills section: technical skills (SAP, Power BI, S&OP, inventory management, production planning, data analysis) and soft skills (problem solving, organizational, decision-making, communication, leadership, continuous improvement, etc.) Let's do that. Qualifications:

    Qualifications

    • 10+ years of planning and/or master scheduling experience.
    • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent related experience (preferred).
    • Lean training with Six Sigma Green or Black Belt certification (preferred).
    But we lost some required qualifications like SAP proficiency etc. Those are skills. Thus
