Production Planner

We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Let's parse the posting. Content: - Intro: "Huntsman is seeking a Production Planner supporting the Advanced Materials Division located in Los Angeles, California. This position will report to the Supply Chain Manager." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". We'll put that in a

maybe under

About the role

. - Job Scope description: "The Production Planner plays a critical role..." That's also about role. Could be part of About the role. - Essential Responsibilities But Not Limited To: list of responsibilities. We'll put under

Responsibilities

with

• items. - What Success Looks Like (6 To 12 Months): Could be considered part of Responsibilities or maybe Qualifications? It's more about performance expectations. Could be under Responsibilities as additional bullet points, but we can also treat as part of Responsibilities. However we have a separate section for Qualifications. The posting includes "Qualifications" heading with Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. So we will have

  Qualifications

  with subpoints maybe as
  . - Skills: The posting mentions "Advanced Microsoft Excel skills", "Strong analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills", "Ability to manage multiple priorities". Those could be under Skills section. But we could also incorporate them into Qualifications. However we have a separate Skills heading allowed. We need to decide: include Skills section only if there is specific content. The posting does list skills explicitly: Advanced Microsoft Excel skills; Strong analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills; Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. Also maybe experience using SAP etc. Those are qualifications. But we can put them under Skills. However we already have Qualifications section for degree, experience, etc. Might be better to split: Qualifications for education/experience, Skills for technical/soft skills. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They didn't mention Requirements but we can ignore if not present. We have Qualifications and Skills. - Benefits: The posting includes "What can we offer you? Salary range $78,200-$95,000 per year." That's Pay. Then "Benefits Competitive healthcare, dental, and vision starting Day One One additional week of paid time off on top of vacation 401k – Huntsman automatically contributes 6% of eligible pay; company will match $1 for every $1 contributed up to a maximum of 4%". So we have Pay and Benefits sections. - Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section. - Requirements: Not explicitly a heading; we have Qualifications. So we skip Requirements. - About the role: we have intro and job scope. - Responsibilities: we have essential responsibilities list. - Qualifications: Minimum and Preferred. - Skills: we could extract skills: Advanced Microsoft Excel skills; Strong analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills; Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. Also maybe experience using SAP etc but that's qualification. We'll put those under Skills. - Benefits: as described. - Pay: Salary range. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, scam warning, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines. Also remove "What can we offer you?" heading? We'll incorporate into Pay and Benefits. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from responsibilities, qualifications, skills, benefits, pay. Let's extract details. About the role / Job Scope: - Huntsman is seeking a Production Planner supporting the Advanced Materials Division located in Los Angeles, California. - This position will report to the Supply Chain Manager. - The Production Planner plays a critical role in balancing production capacity, raw material availability, inventory levels, and customer requirements to ensure reliable manufacturing operations and on-time delivery. - This position works closely with Production, Warehouse, Customer Service, Procurement, and Corporate Supply Chain to align planning activities with business objectives while supporting Huntsman's commitment to operational excellence and Zero Harm by promoting safe, compliant, and efficient manufacturing operations. We can combine into a couple paragraphs. Responsibilities: list from "Essential Responsibilities But Not Limited To". Let's capture each bullet: - Production Planning & Scheduling - Develop, maintain, and execute daily and weekly production schedules based on customer demand, inventory targets, plant capacity, and material availability. - Release and manage production orders within SAP while monitoring schedule adherence and adjusting priorities as business needs change. - Coordinate production schedules with Production Supervisors to maximize equipment utilization and minimize downtime. - Monitor production progress and proactively resolve scheduling conflicts that could impact customer deliveries. - Balance production priorities while supporting safety, quality, and operational objectives. - Material Planning & MRP - Execute Material Requirements Planning (MRP) activities to ensure timely availability of raw materials and packaging components. - Monitor inventory levels and recommend replenishment strategies that balance customer service with inventory investment. - Coordinate with Procurement and Corporate Supply Chain regarding material shortages, supplier constraints, and changing demand. - Analyze planning parameters and recommend adjustments that improve inventory performance and manufacturing efficiency. - Support new product introductions and planning changes while maintaining schedule stability. - Inventory Management & SAP Data Maintenance - Maintain accurate planning data, material master information, planning parameters, and production-related transactions within SAP. - Monitor inventory performance, identify potential shortages or excess inventory, and recommend corrective actions. - Review production variances, inventory accuracy, and planning data to support informed operational decisions. - Generate routine planning reports and analyze key performance indicators to identify trends and improvement opportunities. - Ensure planning information remains accurate, timely, and aligned with business requirements. - Cross Functional Coordination & Continuous Improvement - Collaborate with Production, Warehouse, Customer Service, Procurement, Quality, and Corporate Supply Chain to support effective production execution. - Participate in daily production meetings and communicate schedule changes and material risks. - Support continuous improvement initiatives that enhance planning accuracy, inventory performance, and operational efficiency. - Assist with planning process improvements, system enhancements, and standardization efforts. - Promote effective communication and teamwork across all functional areas. We could keep headings inside
  • ? Probably better to keep each bullet as
  • with the description. Could also include subheadings but not required. We'll just list each responsibility as separate
  • . Might be long but okay. Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Operations Management, Engineering, or a related field; equivalent manufacturing planning experience may be considered. - Minimum four (4) years of hands-on production planning experience within a manufacturing plant environment. - Experience using SAP or a comparable ERP/MRP system. - Advanced Microsoft Excel skills. - Strong analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills. - Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience within chemical or process manufacturing. - Experience using IBP, Power BI, SharePoint, and Microsoft PowerPoint. - Experience working in batch manufacturing and make-to-order production environments. - The candidate must have an unrestricted right to work for Huntsman in the United States. (This is a requirement but could be placed under Qualifications as a note.) We'll include that as a bullet maybe. Skills: We could pull out skills not already in qualifications: Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (already in qualifications), Strong analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills (also in qualifications), Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment (also in qualifications). Actually those are already in qualifications. So maybe we don't need separate Skills section; but we could still include but risk duplication. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to combine skills into Qualifications. However they gave Skills as a possible heading; we can omit if content overlaps. We'll decide to not create Skills section to avoid thin duplication. But we still have "Advanced Microsoft Excel skills" etc. They are in qualifications. So we can keep Qualifications only. Pay: Salary range $78,200-$95,000 per year. Benefits: Competitive healthcare, dental, and vision starting Day One; One additional week of paid time off on top of vacation; 401k – Huntsman automatically contributes 6% of eligible pay; company will match $1 for every $1 contributed up to a maximum of 4%. We should also include maybe other benefits? That's it. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings

    and content

    or

    • . Ensure we don't include empty sections. Let's structure:

      About the role

      ... paragraphs ...

      Responsibilities

      • ...
      ...

      Qualifications

      • ...
      ...

      Pay

      Salary range $78,200-$95,000 per year.

      Benefits

      • Competitive healthcare, dental, and vision starting Day One
      • One additional week of paid time off on top of vacation
      • 401k – Huntsman automatically contributes 6% of eligible pay; company will match $1 for every $1 contributed up to a maximum of 4%
      We should also include the note about unrestricted right to work. Could be added as a qualification bullet. Now check for any other substantive content: "Work Environment" description: "This position is primarily based in an office environment with regular visits to manufacturing and warehouse areas. The role requires frequent walking throughout the facility, climbing stairs, and standing during production floor visits and operational meetings. Employees must wear required personal protective equipment (PPE) when entering designated manufacturing areas and be able to use a computer and standard office equipment for extended periods. While performing job duties, the employee may be exposed to typical industrial conditions, including moving equipment, noise, and varying temperatures within production areas." This is substantive; we could create a section "Work Environment". However the allowed headings list does not include Work Environment. But we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities? It's not exactly role or responsibilities. Could be part of About the role as additional paragraph. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples but not exclusive? It says "use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not add Work Environment heading. We can fold that info into About the role or Responsibilities. Probably About the role is suitable. Thus we will add a paragraph about work environment under About the role. Now ensure we didn't include boilerplate: EEO, scam warning, etc. Remove. Now produce HTML. Check for any repeated lines: we must not duplicate. Let's craft the About the role paragraph(s): Paragraph 1: Huntsman is seeking a Production Planner supporting the Advanced Materials Division located in Los Angeles, California. This position will report to the Supply Chain Manager. Paragraph 2: The Production Planner plays a critical role in balancing production capacity, raw material availability, inventory levels, and customer requirements to ensure reliable manufacturing operations and on-time delivery. This position works closely with Production, Warehouse, Customer Service, Procurement, and Corporate Supply Chain
