Support resolution of supply disruptions by escalating issues early and coordinating alternative sourcing options when needed.

What Success Looks Like PO data is clean, current, and trusted by the team — no surprises caused by system inaccuracies. Production is never delayed due to a missing raw ingredient or packaging component that could have been anticipated. KPI dashboards are accurate, up to date, and actively used by the supply chain team to make decisions. #J-18808-Ljbffr
