Which industries do planning professionals work in? (other than construction)

I'm interested in a career in planning, but am also wondering if they can work in many industries? I know they work in construction and oil and gas. But what other industries? I'm interested in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, renewables and others.

Hi Zoltan

Thats a bit global - All industries may have planners but not in the same way that construction companies do.

As far as I am aware the industries that use similar planning methods as construction are pharmaceutical - shipbuilding - aerospace - that is anything that has a linear process with multiple flow lines converging to a single product.

But once the schedule is set then it doesn't change unless there is a change to the product.

Best regards
