Production Scheduler - Indianapolis, IN

Help Keep America's Favorite Popcorn Moving

At Weaver Popcorn Manufacturing, every bag of popcorn starts with a plan, and every great plan starts with the right people. We're looking for a Production Scheduler to join our Supply Chain team and play a key role in balancing customer demand, inventory, raw materials, and production capacity across our operations.

 How You'll Make an Impact

• Create and manage production schedules that balance customer demand, inventory targets, and manufacturing capacity.
• Partner with Operations, Purchasing, Customer Service, and Sales teams to align production plans with business priorities.
• Anticipate and resolve scheduling challenges before they impact production or customer service.
• Analyze production performance, inventory levels, and demand trends to support informed decision-making.
• Drive continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to improve scheduling efficiency and operational effectiveness.
• Provide visibility and communication to key stakeholders regarding production plans, risks, and opportunities.
