What is it like working as a Production Planner, Manufacturing?
October 2020
Fast paced, ever-changing work environment.
Production Planner, Manufacturing in Seattle:

June 2020
Great.

June 2020
Its a great place to work for if you can be flexible to ever changing demand and workflow.
Production Planner, Manufacturing in Camarillo:
Pros: I am able to learn new sets of skills. I am fluid, I can be place in multiple departments as workflow dictates.
Cons: Mindset of employees that have been there 10 plus years, it's harder for them to adapt to new change. Not as forthcoming in training new team members.
May 2020
Confusing and stressful.
Production Planner, Manufacturing in Tampa:
Pros: In my role, I am given a lot of freedom on how to perform my job. I believe that is simply because they have never really had a real planning group to manage their scheduling. The schedule tends to change daily, instead of planning, we generally do a lot of rescheduling. The production floor is mostly reactionary rather than proactive in finding solutions to the issues that shut down job completions.
Cons: Certain groups or people are not held accountable for constant and reoccurring mistakes and no plan is ever followed through to correct issues unless the issue is forced. No sense of urgency to correct issues that are constant problems, no attention to detail and discipline is not consistent. HR shows favoritism to certain employees and management.
February 2020
Challenges, thought provoking, multitask, exciting.
Production Planner, Manufacturing in Durban:
Pros: planning for material and sorting problems
Cons: the lack of communication and insufficient resources to do my job
February 2020

December 2019
It is awarding. Busy creating and following shops progress of work orders I provide them.

Pros: Atmosphere
Cons: Not much flex time and can't work from home at times
