• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with teams in Planning, Sales, Operations, and other stakeholders to assess the impact of network changes on individual SCs and ensure seamless adjustments across the network.
• Documentation and Knowledge Sharing: Document insights, decisions, and lessons learned, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and collaborative problem-solving across the network.
