After the RFQ is approved by the Chief of Maintenance, the Procurement Lead assigns it to the appropriate, pre-designated Purchasing Agent. Once the Purchasing Agent orders and confirms delivery of the asset(s) via vendor-supplied tracking information, they inform the Logisticians and Receiving Department through the original email chain.
The Lead Logistician assists the Purchasing Agent with arrivals of AOG and Work Stoppage orders as follows: after the Purchasing Agent responsible for the AOG/Work Stoppage order relays its arrival via email, the Logisticians and Receiving Department ensure it is promptly processed, received, and transferred to the correct Parts Room location for timely issuance to maintenance personnel.
Coordinate Routine Core Returns in a timely manner to the supplying vendor between Parts Room personnel, the Purchasing Agent managing the PO and the Logistician department for documentation assistance.
