This includes being available to field calls or engage on the dock to confirm issues exist, partnering with warehouse and plant leadership to align on what to do immediately with the receipt (reject, receive and hold, etc.), working the immediate issue to resolution with the supplier, and working with the supplier and purchasing (as needed for 2nd level support) to have the supplier address repeat failures to prevent recurrence. Work with your manager, corporate purchasing, and the plant warehouse manager to set safety stocks for materials considerate of supplier lead times, contract stipulations with suppliers (as an example, does the supplier hold inventory on our behalf so we can hold less at the plant), demand and production needs over the material lead time horizon and historical variability of demand for the items.
