How will you make an impact in this role?

You'll be the go-to person for confirming and communicating On-Time Manufacturing (OTM) dates, making sure our teams stay aligned, and our customers are satisfied.
This position is preferably based onsite in Renton, WA, where close collaboration with production teams is essential-especially in a fast-paced, high-volume manufacturing environment.

Collaborate with production supervisors to adjust schedules based on changing conditions while maintaining OTM targets.
Coordinate machine downtime with Supervisors, Maintenance, and Planning teams.
Issue Management & Escalation:
Escalate extended lead times for key accounts and value streams to management.
Recommend solutions to reduce lead times and improve responsiveness.
Provide contingency plans for production shortfalls or gains and communicate changes to relevant teams.
Respond quickly to customer expedite requests and update Coordinators on any OTM changes.
Performance Monitoring:
Track actual production speeds (make-ready and run) versus estimates in PrintFlow.
Aim to align estimated and actual performance as closely as possible.
Team Collaboration:
Work with production management to schedule overtime when needed to meet customer demands.
Lead daily production meetings to keep teams informed and aligned.
Quality & Continuous Improvement:
Take proactive steps to prevent quality issues and contribute to solutions.
Halt processing when quality problems are identified and verify resolution.
Continuously evaluate processes and identify opportunities to improve the customer experience and internal systems.
What you'll bring:
