Situation: Continual shortages, tactical purchasing, lack of material control, no long-term supply chain strategy, material lead time issues.
Challenges: Customer lead time requirements were less than raw material lead time, design changes during production result in new material requirements
Results: Developed long-term and short-term supply chain strategy, drove development for standardized engineered components to reduce assembled component lead time to match end-customer expectations. Developed processes to manage material control.
