1) Facilitating early engagement between supplier and Design team to drive manufacturability, repeatability cost and lead time improvements. Established new-part lead times, understand long-lead drivers, and develop lead time mitigation strategies. Identified critical parts manufacturing cycle times; evaluated natural lead time reduction activity (touch time vs. manufacturing lead times. Worked with supplier to identify their ability to expand capacity to support volume manufacturing. 2) Developing and leveraging process maps for critical parts to streamline the supply chain and understand and mitigate capacity constraints. Conducting dual sourcing activities to mitigate supply risk. 3) Serving as a cross-functional link; maintained open communication among matrixed stakeholders. 4) Actively mediating and partnering with quality and engineering teams to resolve supplier quality issues for assigned product groups. Escalating issues to Commodity Business Managers when necessary. 5) Using standard tools, dashboards and BKMs to assess supplier capability, including regional capabilities, overall capacity, ability to support rapid prototyping (NPI), supported volume manufacturing, and vertical integration (e.g., parts, cleaning, assembly capabilities) to aid in making sustainable sourcing decisions. Identified make vs. buy opportunities and drive alignment/decision with key stakeholders. 6) Assisting in supplier price and delivery negotiations; negotiated part contracts as necessary. Utilizing the preferred supplier selection and assessment process when selecting suppliers. 7) Completing supplier risk assessment on critical parts. Monitoring supplier performance (delivery, quality, and cost). Coordinated activities around source selection, specification creation, and price negotiation.
