• Collaborate with Logistics teams to improve delivery performance.
• Monitor shipment status and recovery plans for late orders.
• Ensure manufacturing sites meet lead-time and shipment commitments.
• Support transportation optimization initiatives.

Supplier & Partner Relationship Management
• Build strong relationships with manufacturing leadership teams.
• Conduct regular business reviews and performance evaluations.
• Establish accountability for operational performance.
• Manage escalation processes across multiple organizations.
• Support sourcing decisions, capacity expansion, and risk mitigation strategies.
