Cross-Functional Coordination & Continuous Improvement:
Coordinate with Procurement on supplier delivery performance, material quality issues, and lead-time management.
Liaise with Production/Planning to align material availability with the PP production schedule and prevent line stoppages.
Support Quality Assurance in managing quarantine, hold, and rejected material storage and disposition.
Prepare and present periodic performance reports (inventory accuracy, dispatch KPIs, cost) to warehouse/supply chain leadership.
