• Convert approved BOMs into purchase orders based on project schedules.
• Track order status, manage delays, and ensure material availability aligns with production plan.
• Coordinate with planning and engineering to prioritize and expedite critical items.
• Maintain ERP/MRP accuracy for lead times, min-max levels, and procurement costs.

3. Cost & Commercial Management

• Drive cost reduction through volume leverage, value engineering, and global sourcing.
• Benchmark prices periodically to maintain competitiveness.
• Analyze landed cost impacts for imported components (freight, duties, logistics).
• Ensure timely vendor payments, credit terms optimization, and budget adherence.

• Supplier negotiation and contract management skills.
• Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems and data-driven decision making.
• Strong follow-up, communication, and analytical ability.
• Strategic mindset with hands-on operational execution.
