• Participate with PTME, Production, and Safety in final-layout activities; establish and support production and material-flow plans, including installation or construction, execution, and buy-off.
• Represent the MP&L perspective during launch, communicate current launch status to the plant, and request support resources according to priorities.
• Ensure material planning, releases, and in-plant delivery dates support milestone builds, equipment trials, and run-offs.
• Support PTME, ATNPC, and other launch-related parts and logistics needs.
• Ensure operating system (DOS) requirements are implemented.
• Support daily acceleration-build targets until planned JPH is reached.
