• Inventory Management: Implement agile strategies (JIT, VMI) to minimize carrying costs while ensuring 100% availability for production.
• Technical Collaboration: Work with Engineering and Product teams to manage the Bill of Materials (BOM) for new product introductions and find alternatives for long-lead-time components.
• Contract Execution: Oversee daily execution of contract requirements to meet cost, schedule, and performance goals.
• Risk Management: Identify and mitigate risks throughout the program life cycle.
• Stakeholder Interface: Interface with internal teams (Engineering, Quality) and external customers on contract matters.
• Bid and Proposal Activities: Lead bid and proposal activities, including material estimating and sourcing strategies.
• Data-Driven Optimization: Utilize ERP/MRP systems and data analytics to forecast demand, track KPIs (OTIF, Lead Times, COGS), and identify potential disruptions before they impact the line.
• Logistics & Compliance: Oversee complex international shipping routes, customs compliance, and last-mile delivery for sensitive technical equipment.
