Material Planner & Inventory Manager

We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have location, schedule, pay given. Also we have overview description, responsibilities (What You’ll Do), requirements (Who You Are), technical competencies (maybe Skills), benefits (What’s In It For You). Also we have company description at top (Signia Aerospace etc). That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the company". The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - Position Overview: includes Location, Schedule, Pay. So we could have a short paragraph for overview (maybe not a heading). But we could also put Pay and Schedule sections separately if they have specific content. The posting states Schedule: Monday - Friday, Pay: $100,000 - $130,000 per year. So we should include Pay and Schedule sections with that content. - About the role: could include the Position Overview description (the Material Planning & Inventory Manager leads...). That's substantive. - Responsibilities: the "What You’ll Do" bullet points (multiple paragraphs). We'll put as

• . - Requirements: maybe "Who You Are" includes education, experience, etc. That's qualifications. Could be Requirements or Qualifications. We'll use Requirements heading for education/experience, and Qualifications heading for technical competencies? But we have both "Who You Are" and "Technical Competencies". Could combine into Requirements and Skills. The instruction says we can use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to avoid thin sections. Let's think: "Who You Are" includes education, experience, leadership experience, knowledge. That's qualifications. "Technical Competencies" is a list of skills. So we could have:

  Qualifications

  with education/experience etc as
  • .

    Skills

    with technical competencies list. Benefits: we have benefits package description. So

    Benefits

    with list. Pay and Schedule: we have specific content, so include those sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO statement at end (the equal opportunity line). Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie etc. The posting ends with EEO statement; we should drop that. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the sections we include. Let's extract content. Company overview paragraph: "Signia Aerospace is a global, integrated provider of high-performance systems and specialized components for the aerospace industry. Signia designs, manufactures, and services a wide range of products, that include mission equipment, thermal management systems, engine technology, and propellers. The Signia brands are leaders in their respective markets and provide a compelling value proposition to both aerospace and defense OEMs and end-users. Onboard Systems International is the leading global provider of external cargo handling equipment for civil and military helicopters. Founded nearly 50 years ago, the facility in Vancouver, WA has a growing product portfolio including mechanical cargo hooks and suspension systems, proprietary weighing systems and a Human External Cargo (HEC) line of equipment. In addition to serving every major OEM, the company heavily targets helicopter owners like municipals, fire, search and rescue operators and utility companies. In total, we serve over 1,000 customers around the world." That's substantive; could go under About the role (or About the company). We'll use About the role. Position Overview: includes location, schedule, pay. We'll maybe put a short paragraph: "Position Overview Location: Vancouver, WA (Onsite) Schedule: Monday - Friday Pay: $100,000 - $130,000 per year". But we also have separate Pay and Schedule sections; we could avoid duplication. Better to put location in About the role paragraph? Actually location is part of Position Overview; we could include location in a short

    under About the role or separate. Since we have Pay and Schedule sections, we can still include location in About the role. Let's craft:

The Material Planning & Inventory Manager leads the processes and personnel necessary to ensure the right materials are available at the right time to support customer demand while optimizing inventory levels and manufacturing performance. This role works closely with Production, Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, Customer Service, and other functions to balance customer requirements, manufacturing capacity, material availability, and inventory objectives.

    That covers overview. Now Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do" includes several bullet-like paragraphs each starting with a bold heading. We'll extract each as list items. List: - Production Planning & Scheduling Lead production planning and scheduling to align customer demand, backlog, manufacturing capacity, material availability, and operational priorities. Develop and maintain accurate, achievable production schedules and planning disciplines that support customer delivery requirements while maintaining appropriate schedule stability. Monitor schedule attainment, capacity, and production constraints; proactively adjust priorities and coordinate corrective actions to protect customer commitments. - Material Planning & Coordination Own material planning processes and translate demand and production schedules into accurate material requirements using ERP/MRP tools. Proactively identify material shortages and other threats to production or customer delivery dates and coordinate recovery plans with Supply Chain, Production, Engineering, and other functions.

Lead cycle counting, inventory reconciliation, and root-cause corrective actions, and maintain effective controls over material transactions, movement, storage, issuance, and consumption. Partner with Finance and Operations to ensure inventory records and reporting accurately reflect physical inventory. - ERP/MRP Systems & Data Integrity Serve as the functional leader for production planning, scheduling, material planning, and inventory processes within the ERP/MRP system. Ensure planning data, inventory data, BOM-related inputs, lead times, order policies, and other critical planning parameters are accurate and maintained. Use ERP/MRP data to proactively identify capacity constraints, material shortages, delivery-date risks, excess inventory, and other potential disruptions to production and customer commitments. Identify system, data, or process issues that affect planning effectiveness and lead corrective actions; develop reporting and analytical tools that improve operational visibility - Operational Performance & Continuous Improvement Use data, reporting, and trend analysis to identify root causes, establish priorities, and drive sustainable corrective and preventive actions. Lead continuous improvement initiatives that improve production flow, planning effectiveness, inventory utilization, capacity utilization, ERP/MRP effectiveness, and operational efficiency.

Work closely with Production, Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, Customer Service, Finance, and other functions to align priorities, communicate risks, and resolve constraints. Participate as an active member of the site leadership team and foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, problem-solving, and continuous improvement. We'll put each as
  • containing the paragraphs (maybe multiple sentences). Could break into multiple
  • per heading? Usually each bullet is a duty; we can keep each heading as a

          . Location: we already included in About the role paragraph (Vancouver, WA). Could also add a separate line but not needed. We must not include boilerplate like EEO statement. Remove that. Now ensure we only output HTML fragment, no markdown fences. Let's construct. Check for any repeated content: We included overview paragraph that mentions the role leads processes etc. That's fine. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "Position Overview" also had location, schedule, pay. We covered schedule and pay separately; location included in overview. Good. Now
