- Ensure parts and materials for all production builds, including first-of-their-kind products, are available and staged for manufacturing on schedule.
- Track part deliveries, inventory status, and internal movement of materials to avoid production delays.
- Follow up with the quality team to prioritize inspection of critical parts and ensure they’re cleared for use, especially during new product assembly.
- Assist with sending parts to external suppliers (e.g., for finishing, machining, or processing) and track expected return dates.
- Maintain real-time visibility of part readiness and provide regular updates to manufacturing and engineering teams.
