Expediting & Delivery Assurance: Track and monitor open purchase orders to identify potential component shortages. Proactively contact external suppliers to confirm ship dates, update the ERP system, and escalate material risks to prevent manufacturing downtime.

Supplier Communications: Assist in managing routine supplier relations, requesting and analyzing quotes for new or modified parts, and executing request-for-quote (RFQ) documentation.
