- Balance customer and program priorities with capacity constraints, material availability and engineering changes.
- Constructively challenge assumptions and recovery plans, using data to support recommendations and decisions.
- Drive agreed actions through to resolution, ensuring owners and timelines are clearly defined.
- Support customer-facing discussions relating to operational commitments, risks and recovery plans.
