Responsibilities

Own the material plan that supports the production schedule and the customer commitment, and the accuracy of the signals that drive it.
Establish and maintain planning policy including lead time, safety stock, order policy, and lot sizing, and hold the organization to data integrity in the MRP system.
Lead the supply side of the sales and operations planning process, converting the demand plan into a material and capacity plan with stated risks.
Drive shortage resolution to closure and eliminate the recurring causes rather than managing the same shortages repeatedly.
Establish the vision, policy, and priorities for supply chain and communicate them clearly enough that the team can act on them without asking.
Create standard work, documented process, and a management cadence for purchasing, planning, warehouse, and shipping and receiving where they do not exist today.
Define the measures that matter for the function, publish performance honestly, and manage to the numbers rather than to activity.
Sequence change so that the organization can absorb it, and confirm that new process holds after the attention moves elsewhere.
Develop and execute sourcing strategy by commodity, including consolidation, dual sourcing, agreements, and long term arrangements where they reduce cost or risk.
Own material cost performance, including purchase price variance, total landed cost, and premium freight, and deliver measurable cost reduction.
Manage the supplier base through measured on time delivery and quality performance, structured reviews, corrective action, and removal where warranted.
Lead negotiations on significant agreements and approve purchasing commitments within delegated authority.
Manage inventory level, turns, and mix against the business plan, balancing availability with working capital.
Own inventory accuracy through cycle count program discipline and root cause resolution of variances.
Drive identification and disposition of excess and obsolete material and prevent its recurrence at the planning parameter level.
Report inventory and supply chain performance to the leadership team with honest assessment of risk.
Own the flow of material from the dock through the stockroom to the floor and out to the customer.
Ensure on time shipment performance, complete documentation, and compliance with export control requirements on every shipment.
Establish standard work, layout, and staffing for the warehouse and dock functions to support the production schedule.
Maintain traceability, identification, and record retention to AS9100 and ISO 9001 requirements.
Lead, staff, and develop the supply chain team, including goal setting, performance management, and succession for every critical position.
Build capability deliberately through training, cross training, coaching, and delegation of decisions that carry real consequence.
Hold people to a clear standard and address performance directly, early, and with respect for the person.
Set the standard for how people are treated in the function and expect it from everyone in it, including under schedule pressure.
Partner with Operations, Quality, Engineering, Finance, and Customer Service as one team rather than defending a functional boundary.
Ensure purchasing and material practices comply with AS9100, ISO 9001, ITAR, EAR, DFARS, and applicable customer flow down requirements.
Support audits, customer surveys, and corrective action for the supply chain function.
Lead continuous improvement of supply chain processes, systems, and metrics.
Evaluate and implement system and process improvements that reduce cost, lead time, or transaction burden.
