Identify the materials and components that drive our cost and schedule as the business grows, and own the strategy for each: market intelligence, forward buying, index-linked and escalation pricing, capacity and allocation agreements, buffer stock, and qualified alternates developed before they are needed. Work day-to-day with Engineering, Production, Project Management, Finance, and Quality to align material plans with design, schedule, cash, and quality requirements, and to resolve constraints before they reach the floor.
