Coordinate with Engineering, Product Operations, Commodity Management, and Deployment teams to resolve operational blockers. Support new product introduction and ramp activities by ensuring material and production readiness. Help improve execution discipline across the supply chain through tighter tracking, follow‑up, and issue resolution. Risk Management & Process Improvement Identify material shortages, supplier issues, and operational bottlenecks that may impact production or deployment schedules. Drive mitigation actions such as alternate sourcing, recovery planning, buffering strategies, or escalation to leadership. Track operational metrics related to material availability, supplier performance, inventory health, and manufacturing execution. Recommend process improvements that strengthen supply chain visibility, planning accuracy, and execution reliability. Cross‑Functional Collaboration Serve as a key point of coordination across Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Engineering, Procurement, and Deployment teams.
