This role will define when to release shop orders (pick list,) when to escalate part expedites, determine material availability timeline, when to order standard plan and bulk materials based on past, current, and future usage, and from time to time what carriers to use to ship finished goods to customers.

This role will plan their activities anywhere from a daily basis to a monthly basis depending on function. Material availability will be tracked from project inception that can be months out.
