Job Description:

Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc.

Position: Master Scheduler (internal opportunity)

Location: Mayodan, NC

Reports to: Sr. Director, Supply Chain and Procurement

Job Summary

This internal opportunity is intended for candidates who understand Ruger’s manufacturing environment and can coordinate scheduling decisions across factories while supporting site-level execution.

We are seeking an experienced candidate for the role of Master Scheduler. This position oversees and coordinates production planning and master scheduling across all manufacturing factories, serving as the central link between corporate strategic planning and site-level execution. The Master Scheduler will balance enterprise demand with factory capacity, optimize resource utilization, and support strong on-time delivery across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

Multi-Factory Scheduling & Planning

  • Build Global Schedule: Develop, maintain, and execute the enterprise-wide Master Production Schedule (MPS) across all company factory locations.
  • Translate S&OP Decisions: Convert corporate Sales & Operations Planning demand forecasts into executable, factory-specific weekly and monthly manufacturing schedules.
  • Allocate Workload: Optimize production distribution across our factories to maximize capacity, labor, and machine utilization.
  • Sequence Operations: Establish overarching sequencing rules for long lead-time fabrications, assemblies, and complex operational milestones.

Capacity & Resource Optimization

  • Analyze Constraints: Continuously evaluate machine, labor, and tooling constraints across all factories to proactively identify regional production bottlenecks.
  • Balance Materials: Partner closely with centralized Procurement and Logistics to align incoming material pipelines with current multi-factory assembly schedules.
  • Execute What-If Scenarios: Build simulation models to evaluate the enterprise-wide impact of rush orders, equipment downtime, or material shortfalls.
  • Manage Inventory Levels: Monitor enterprise Work-in-Process (WIP) and finished goods inventory to prevent obsolescence while securing safety stock levels.

Cross-Functional Communication & Internal Integration

  • Centralize Data Integrity: Own and maintain MRP/ERP system parameters including lead times, lot sizes, and factory calendars across the enterprise network.
  • Facilitate Alignment: Convene routine cross-functional alignment sessions with Operations Directors, Project Managers, and Product Engineering across our sites.
  • Publish Performance Metrics: Maintain and present multi-factory dashboards tracking schedule adherence, capacity utilization, and root causes for operational variance.

Required Qualifications

  • Education: High school diploma or equivalent required. Associate degree or equivalent vocational training in business, logistics, or operations preferred, but not required.
  • Experience: Minimum 5+ years of hands-on experience in production planning, scheduling, or senior operations roles within the company network. Practical knowledge of Ruger’s machinery, bottlenecks, and factory capabilities is highly valued.
  • Software Mastery: Strong, demonstrated proficiency in Oracle required. Experience with project modeling software is desirable.
  • Analytical Skill: Strong capabilities in data manipulation tools, specifically Microsoft Excel (XLOOKUP, Power Query, Pivot Tables) and dashboard platforms.
  • Certification Preferred: ASCM APICS certification (CPIM or CSCP) is a plus, but company-sponsored training is available for the right candidate.

Additional Requirements:

Must be able to successfully pass a drug screen and background check.

Must be eligible to handle firearms under the Federal Firearms Act.

Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation package including salary, profit sharing and bonus opportunities.
  • Health benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Life and retirement benefits including 401k match, company 401k contribution, basic and supplemental life options, as well as short- and long-term disability plans.
  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Casual work environment
