Ensure target on-shelf availability, turns, and fill rates are achieved for parts purchased from assigned suppliers.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Materials Management

• Issue and review PO's to ensure parts are ordered with adequate lead time and stock-outs do not occur. Regularly review back-orders and past-due products to ensure expediting occurs. Ensure assigned suppliers deliver products in correct quantities on time and confirmed at the cost negotiated.
• Ensure PO's are issued in a timely fashion and minimize excess and obsolete (E&O) items. Act proactively and creatively to reduce E&O. Return overages back to suppliers. Achieve annual target for inventory turns for assigned suppliers.
• Analyze suggested orders and issue daily purchase orders promptly to suppliers. Recommend order launcher adjustments to optimize order cost and efficiency and avoid stock-outs.
• Work with suppliers so they use the Aurora Supplier Information System (ASIS) to confirm all PO's on-line. Cost, quantity, and due date for each PO line item will be confirmed on-line through ASIS. Ensure supplier users of ASIS are maintained (i.e. set up new users, terminate users, help current users).
• Monitor parts back-ordered with suppliers and proactively eliminate all backorders. Pay particular attention to kits and items associated with key Aurora initiatives.
• Review all past-due PO's and aggressively work with suppliers to obtain past-due parts. Ensure PO due dates in DST are updated so no open PO is past due.
