Production Planner

Thorn Baker Industrial Recruitment are looking for an experienced Production Planner for a leading food manufacturer based in Leicestershire. 

The Job:

The role involves issuing effective and efficient daily and weekly production schedules across all bakeries to optimise customer service, particularly within a high SKU mix environment, while also re-developing the planning and forecasting system. It requires close collaboration with bakery teams to continuously improve the planning process, as well as working alongside Stock Control and the Production Manager to ensure all raw materials, equipment, and staffing are in place for production. This position is particularly suited to planners who have experience focusing on people-based planning, such as managing workforce numbers and skill sets, rather than relying primarily on equipment or machine capacity.

The hours of work are Monday to Friday 8am-5pm
