Introduction:
The purpose of this role is to ensure reliable, on-time, and fully available material supply from suppliers to all manufacturing sites once sourcing is complete. The role owns shortage management, supplier execution, and mid-term supply assurance, ensuring materials arrive to the factory at the right time, in the right quantity, to support production and kitting requirements. It also provides oversight of supplier inbound quality issues, especially where they affect material availability, to secure stable, interruption‑free supply performance.
