Production Control Manager Jobs in Indiana

Help us turn raw materials into possibility

Imagine a classroom where creativity catches fire. For over 100 years, AMACO has supplied the clay, glazes, and equipment that make that moment possible. From our Brickyard manufacturing hub, we’re looking for a NAV Production Data & Inventory Control Analyst to translate shop‑floor activity into accurate ERP records and ensure materials flow without friction.

What success looks like

You anticipate material needs before they slow a kiln, reconcile a mismatch before it reaches Accounts Payable, and publish production paperwork that operators trust. You’re the calm center when NAV questions arise—resolving issues, coordinating enhancements, and partnering across teams.

Key outcomes

• Act as the primary contact for Microsoft Dynamics NAV: daily support, projects, and upgrades.
• Ensure order reconciliation between NAV and Accounts Payable is timely and accurate.
• Maintain inventory health—analyze component availability; perform reconciliations.
• Absorb new software tools quickly (MS Dynamics NAV, Jet Reports) and apply them to improve processes and reporting.
• Spot‑check replenished items to confirm they’re in the correct bins/locations.
• Publish reliable production order reports: completions, scrap, and labor hours.
• Alert Supply Chain to shortages/excesses; protect throughput and lead times.
• Receive parts into stock with complete, correct documentation.
• Plan and track material movement to sustain continuous operations and meet lead‑time expectations.
• Release picks, work instructions, and QC documents for production orders.
• Perform cycle count activities and related investigations.
• Partner with peers to troubleshoot; take on special assignments and other duties as required.
• Execute additional tasks assigned by the Assistant Manager; operate under a division supervisor and, at times, a crew leader.

Required capabilities

• High School Diploma or equivalent required; 1+ year of Microsoft NAV transactions preferred.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office; strong data entry accuracy.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; strong interpersonal skills.
• Effective problem‑solving and decision‑making; solid basic math.
• Ability to work in hot environments and lift 50–75 lbs occasionally.
