Partner with Quality and Operations to harmonize supplier audits, scorecards, and corrective action plans across sites. Documentation & Knowledge Flow Establish the documentation flow to and from sites so requirements, specifications, PPAP/FAI packages, change notices, quality alerts, and other artifacts flow forward and back between sites and central/commodity management. Standardize templates, nomenclature, and repositories (e.g., supplier qualification packages, negotiation playbooks, contracts, and performance dashboards) to enable reuse and transparency. Ensure that commodity strategies, AVL/AML updates, and supplier performance insights are communicated bi-directionally and acted upon at the site level. Risk Management & Performance Identify risks to supply chain capacity (materials, talent, processes, tools) and implement mitigation strategies, supplier development, and dual-sourcing where appropriate. Monitor KPIs and analyze supply chain data: prepare quantitative and qualitative analyses of historical data and market trends to support long-range purchasing strategies. Utilize best practices to create or optimize inventory approaches; identify opportunities to improve processes and create efficiencies. Consider the voice of the customer for supply chain planning, management, and execution.
