  • Maintain core system and part data, including MGO reconciliation, PFEP updates, new-part container setup, and tracking of engineering-changed parts.
  • Coordinate supplier and schedule readiness, including supplier bulletins, release acknowledgment, source warrant support, pilot tags, transit timing, and part availability.
  • Identify and escalate risks tied to shortages, storage constraints, capacity limits, obsolete material, scrap, supplier constraints, and other launch showstoppers.
  • Partner with suppliers, LMS, logistics, and internal teams to help ensure material is ordered, routed, received, and available to support launch execution.
  • Maintain launch tracking tools, material readiness documentation, and clear reporting on open issues, risks, and recovery actions.
