Production Planner

RISE ARMAMENT

Production Planner

Broken Arrow, OK | Full-Time | $55,000 – $65,000 / year

RISE Armament builds precision firearm components for customers who demand reliability — and we hold our operations to that same standard. We're looking for a Production Planner who takes ownership of execution, protects the schedule, and acts before problems hit the floor.

This is not a work-order-release-and-wait role. It's a high-accountability position for someone who thrives on plan stability, proactive problem-solving, and real operational impact.

THE ROLE

Your core responsibility is straightforward: turn the master production schedule into executable work — and keep it that way.

You own the connection between what we've promised customers and what the shop can actually deliver. That means validating material, routings, and capacity before releasing work, actively managing open orders through completion, and adjusting the plan quickly when constraints shift.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Release work orders only after validating material availability, routing, and capacity
• Monitor open work orders, shortages, late operations, and schedule risks daily
• Identify conflicts early and bring solutions — not surprises — to leadership
• Re-prioritize work when conditions change, before shipments are at risk
• Coordinate with purchasing, production, and leadership to clear constraints
• Support ramp-ups, engineering changes, and new product introductions
• Maintain ERP data integrity (BOMs, lead times, routings) — because bad data breaks good plans
• Measure your own success by schedule adherence, plan stability, and on-time delivery

HOW YOU THINK

We care more about mindset than resume. You're a strong fit if you naturally think:

• "If we don't act today, this will miss next week."
• "I see the constraint — here are two options and my recommendation."
• "This looks fine in ERP, but the floor will struggle with it."

You're comfortable making decisions with incomplete data, prioritizing under pressure, and owning tradeoffs rather than escalating problems without solutions.

WHAT YOU BRING

Required:

• 2+ years in production planning or manufacturing operations
• Working knowledge of work orders, BOMs, lead times, and MRP logic
• Strong ERP and Excel skills
• High attention to detail and consistent follow-through
• Ownership mentality — you manage outcomes, not just tasks

Preferred:

• Experience in a manufacturing environment
• Familiarity with kanban or reorder point planning systems
• Background supporting ramp-ups or new product introductions

THIS ROLE ISN'T FOR YOU IF…

• You release work orders without validating feasibility
• You wait for perfect information before taking action
• You treat all orders as equal regardless of customer impact
• You rely on expediting instead of disciplined planning
• You believe missed schedules are just part of manufacturing

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• On-time delivery targets are consistently met
• Work orders support the master schedule — not fight it
• Risks are surfaced early, with mitigation plans in hand
• Fewer surprises, less firefighting, more plan stability
• Production, sales, and leadership trust the schedule

Salary: $55,000 – $65,000 per year, based on experience

• 401(k)
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
