  • Partner with Production, Planning, Inventory, Engineering, and Accounting to address material requirements and minimize disruptions to manufacturing operations.
  • Identify opportunities to improve procurement processes, supplier performance, inventory practices, and data accuracy.
  • Maintain accurate supplier and purchasing records and support reporting related to purchasing activity, inventory, spend, and supplier performance.
