Procurement Manager - PCD

Job Description • Key Responsibilities • 1. Procurement & Commodity Management • Manage procurement activities for assigned mechanical commodities. • Develop sourcing strategies aligned with cost, quality, capacity and supply-continuity requirements. • Lead RFQs, supplier evaluation, commercial negotiations and supplier selection. • Manage supplier commercial performance, pricing, lead time and contractual requirements. • Develop alternate and local sources for critical, constrained and single-source materials. • Work with Engineering and Quality on value engineering and cost-reduction opportunities. • 2. Mechanical Part & Supplier Development • Lead sourcing and development of new mechanical parts from RFQ through production release. • Work with Engineering, Quality and suppliers on technical clarification, samples, tooling, FAI/PPAP and qualification. • Evaluate supplier manufacturing capability, process suitability and production readiness. • Ensure new parts meet cost, quality, capacity, lead-time and delivery requirements. • Drive alternate-source development for critical and capacity-constrained components. • 3. Constraint Management • Own plant-level material constraint identification and shortage resolution. • Act as the first-line resolver of supply disruptions. • Identify supply risks before they become visible as production scheduling problems. • Coordinate with Production Planning and maintain an aligned constraint and delivery horizon. • Analyse demand, inventory, open POs and supplier commitments to anticipate shortages. • Develop recovery plans with clear ownership and target dates. • Support inventory optimisation by highlighting excess, shortfall and coverage risks. • Escalate structural supplier constraints through the appropriate Procurement channels. • 4. Supplier Capacity Management • Assess supplier capacity against forecasts, production requirements and future ramp-up. • Understand and evaluate supplier machines, tooling, cycle times, shifts, manpower and raw-material availability. • Identify supplier bottlenecks and potential capacity shortages. • Challenge suppliers on available capacity and validate capacity commitments. • Establish and monitor capacity recovery or expansion plans. • Coordinate alternate sourcing where capacity risk cannot be adequately mitigated. • 5. Delivery Performance & Expediting • Manage plant-level supplier OTD/OTIF and delivery performance. • Expedite critical materials and resolve overdue or potentially late deliveries. • Prioritise expediting based on production requirements and line-down risk. • Conduct supplier delivery and shortage-recovery reviews.
