• Communicate production progress, priority changes, and delivery risks across departments and shifts, ensuring clear ownership and follow-through on recovery actions.
• Support work order readiness and closure by verifying required transactions and documentation are complete.
• Improve material flow and coordination processes to reduce delays and support new programs, configuration changes, and increasing production volume.
