Support the handshake between development team (i.e. NPD, New Product Development) and NPI for the assigned portfolio, by making sure that all results, reports and deliverables are reviewed and available.
Coordinate with engineering and product management departments and develop and implement Manufacturing Plan for products which includes planning, scheduling, and monitoring of material movements through the workflow process to meet build schedules. Analyzes and anticipates project material requirements to ensure required materials are properly forecasted and driven. Resolves material supply issues.
Monitors and ensures NPI cycle goals are met, including provision of shortage reports, navigating deviations. Communicates on-time delivery, delays, and/or changing priorities for NPI lots to all stakeholders.
