- Serve as the primary day-to-day contact for assigned suppliers, driving on-time delivery, resolving shortages, and escalating issues as needed.
- Support supplier ramps for new programs and production phases.
- Enhance planning processes, tools, and reporting to accommodate new factories and products.
