Als Lead Production Planning & Control (f/m/d) bei TYTAN übernehmen Sie die vollständige Verantwortung für die Produktionsplanung und -steuerung (PPC) – von der Bedarfsplanung bis zur Lieferung. Sie leiten das S&OP-Interface mit dem Vertrieb, den Master Production Schedule, die Kapazitätsplanung, die Auftragsfreigabe und die Shop-Floor-Steuerung. Zudem treiben Sie die Operational-Excellence-Agenda (ERP, ISO 9001, Produktionssoftware) und das Projektmanagement für Kundenlieferungen voran. Diese Führungsrolle berichtet direkt an den CMO und ist Teil des Operations-Leadership-Teams.

Responsibilities

Own the Master Production Schedule (MPS) across all product lines, variants and shifts.
Own production control: order release, dispatching, sequencing, progress tracking and back-reporting against plan.
Define and enforce planning horizons (frozen / slushy / free) and a disciplined change-control process for plan changes.
Own MRP logic, planning parameters and planning master data in the ERP — lead times, lot sizes, safety stock, BOM and routing planning relevance.
Drive material availability checks and shortage management with Supply Chain, Procurement and Logistics; manage inventory and WIP targets.
Run the operational planning rhythm: daily shortage call, production meeting, weekly plan review.
Own the S&OP / SIOP process with the Commercial team — the single link between committed demand and operational capacity.
Maintain the strategic multi-year forecast and the 12-month rolling technical plan, and cascade them into short-term detailed plans.
Feed capacity and supply reality back into commercial commitments so dates are promised on facts, not hope.
Build and maintain the capacity model: labour, workstations, test and integration equipment, bottleneck resources.
Plan capacity against the ramp-up profile toward serial rate; surface constraints early and drive resolution with Industrialisation and Manufacturing Engineering.
Run scenario and what-if planning for demand shifts, new variants and engineering changes.
Plan the cut-in points for engineering changes and configuration updates with Engineering and Quality.
Drive the cross-functional programme portfolio for Operations: ERP rollout and development, ISO 9001, production and shop-floor software, digitalisation of planning.
Own process architecture, SOPs and standards for planning and control — audit-ready by design.
Lead continuous improvement across Operations (lean methods, bottleneck and flow analysis, waste elimination) with measurable results, not initiatives.
Provide end-to-end project management for customer deliveries, holding the thread across Production, Supply Chain, Logistics, Quality and Engineering.
Lead, coach and grow the planning and excellence team — planners, schedulers and project managers — as volume scales.
Own the KPI set: schedule adherence, plan stability, OTD, capacity utilisation, inventory turns, open shortages, and make status, risk and options transparent to the CMO and leadership team.
Act as escalation and decision point for planning conflicts between Commercial and Operations.
Contribute as a member of the Operations leadership team to the division's strategy and priorities.

Requirements

Degree in Industrial Engineering, Production / Operations Management, Supply Chain Management or comparable.
7+ years in production planning & control, master scheduling or operations planning in manufacturing, with proven leadership of a team.
Deep, hands-on command of PPC: MPS, MRP, capacity planning, scheduling, shop-floor control, master data quality.
Solid experience owning or running an S&OP / SIOP process with commercial counterparts.
Track record in ramp-up or scale-up environments — moving from low-rate to serial production is a strong plus.
Demonstrated operational excellence / CI delivery (lean, Six Sigma or equivalent) and experience running ERP or process programmes end-to-end.
Hands-on ERP experience (Odoo, SAP or comparable); strong analytical and data skills.
Structured and decisive — comfortable planning under uncertainty and with incomplete data.
Credible with the shop floor and with commercial stakeholders alike; holds standards without losing the room.
Hands-on ownership mindset: builds and matures the function rather than administering it.
Fluency in German and English.
Willingness to work in a defense environment, including export-control-relevant and KWL-controlled goods.
