Manage end-to-end purchase order execution for manufacturing operations, overseeing each stage from order initiation to final shipment clearance. Ensure production schedules are accurately tracked and maintained, proactively identifying and addressing delays before they impact delivery timelines.
Production Monitoring & Coordination
Work directly with factory partners to verify production progress, confirm completion dates, and adjust shipment plans as needed—whether advancing, delaying, or splitting loads. Maintain precise PO trackers and production calendars to support real-time decision-making across teams.
- Communicate changes in order quantities and partial shipment arrangements
- Flag risks early and recommend practical adjustments to keep production on track
- Align manufacturing output with forecasted demand in collaboration with planning teams
Quality Control Oversight
Arrange and monitor inspections through third-party providers such as QIMA, ensuring evaluations occur at production completion. Track results via QC portals, review pass/fail outcomes, and manage corrective actions for failed inspections.
Only release shipments upon confirmed quality approval, and relay QC status updates to logistics and planning departments to ensure coordinated next steps.
Collaboration & Communication
Act as a central point of contact between factories, internal supply chain units, logistics, and planning teams. Deliver clear, timely updates on production status, risks, and shipment adjustments. Escalate issues with actionable recommendations to maintain workflow continuity.
