- Monitor supplier acknowledgments and update purchase orders following confirmation.
- Expedite overdue purchase orders and proactively manage supplier commitments to minimize material shortages.
- Reschedule or defer orders where demand changes or inventory exceeds required levels.
- Ensure purchasing records remain accurate, current and reflective of supplier commitments.
Material Planning & Supply Management:
- Work closely with Production Planning to ensure material availability for both internal production and external manufacturing partners.
- Maintain visibility of material shortages, supply risks and critical shortages, communicating these clearly to stakeholders.
- Produce regular shortage reporting and proactively identify actions required to protect production schedules.
- Manage material shipments to external manufacturing partners, ensuring deliveries are planned and executed on time.
