Job Details

Made2Manage ERP Configuration & Manufacturing Planning/Scheduling Consultant
Waukegan, IL area initially | Transition to North County San Diego, CA

Be the hands-on expert who assesses, fixes, configures and optimizes a Made2Manage manufacturing environment—from ERP planning and scheduling through shop-floor execution and implementation.

This is not an ERP support or end-user role. We need someone who can assess → diagnose → configure → implement → validate → optimize → train → establish sustainable processes.

What You'll Do

• Assess the current Made2Manage environment, including MRP/MPS, BOMs, routings, work centers, calendars, capacity, lead times, job/work orders and shop-floor processes.
• Identify whether issues are related to ERP configuration, master data, business processes or system limitations.
• Make or lead hands-on corrections to ERP planning and scheduling configuration.
• Improve production planning, scheduling, job prioritization, sequencing, capacity visibility and schedule accuracy.
• Evaluate master data and planning parameters affecting MRP and production performance.
• Improve work-order/work-ticket flow and shop-floor execution.
• Work directly with Supply Chain, Operations and IT to redesign and implement improved processes.
• Test and validate system changes and ensure the new processes work in the real manufacturing environment.
• Assess whether Made2Manage can meet the company's scheduling requirements or whether an APS/finite-capacity scheduling solution is needed.
• Define requirements, evaluate potential scheduling tools, support vendor evaluations and recommend the right solution.
• Train users and establish sustainable ownership, governance and processes.
• Provide a roadmap for continued improvement across Gurnee, IL and ultimately Vista, CA.

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• Hands-on experience configuring, implementing or optimizing a manufacturing ERP system.
• Strong experience with production planning, production scheduling and MRP/MPS.
• Experience with BOMs, routings, work centers, capacity, calendars, work orders and manufacturing master data.
• Experience diagnosing both ERP/system configuration and manufacturing process issues.
• Experience working directly with manufacturing operations, supply chain and IT.
• Strong background in discrete manufacturing, preferably make-to-order, engineer-to-order, job-shop or mixed-mode environments.
• Demonstrated ability to personally execute system/process changes, not simply make recommendations.

Strongly Preferred

• Direct Made2Manage / Aptean Made2Manage experience.
• Experience with APS, Advanced Planning & Scheduling, finite-capacity or constraint-based scheduling.
• Experience selecting, implementing or integrating scheduling solutions with an ERP.
• Experience with shop-floor execution, dispatching, work tickets or paperless manufacturing.
• ERP migration, data cleanup or master-data governance experience.
• Experience training users and establishing long-term process ownership.

The Ideal Candidate

We’re looking for someone who has actually taken a manufacturing organization through the process of understanding what’s wrong, fixing the ERP/processes, implementing the solution and making it sustainable.
