• Identify S&OE risks and opportunities, escalating them appropriately to the Network Planner and acting as the first escalation point for short-term issues impacting schedule adherence or customer commitments.
• Lead the execution of burn of arrears and past‑due orders to customers, supporting on-time delivery performance through proactive scheduling, material availability checks, and cross‑functional coordination.
• Analyse short-term supply chain performance to identify risks early (expedite needs, re‑routes, inventory re‑deployment, supplier constraints) and recommend mitigation actions.
• Maintain repair BOM (RBOM) data integrity; monitor data quality, identify discrepancies, and correct or escalade as needed.
• Collaborate with Operations to ensure capacity, labour, and resources align with scheduled requirements; work with Procurement to resolve material shortages, confirm supply commitments, and coordinate expedites.
• Engage the Customer Service/CSR team to confirm achievable commitments and communicate risks early, and support IPT (Integrated Product Team) collaboration on product issues, repair planning, and schedule impacts.
