You continuously monitor required, promised and actual delivery dates, proactively identifying risks and deviations. You ensure correct ERP demand data is maintained and drive expediting activities when required to safeguard project milestones.

You guide all external logistics activities related to the project scope and ensure integration between internal execution teams and external supply chain partners. Upon project completion, you contribute to structured close-out and continuous improvement through lessons-learned evaluations focused on supply chain performance.
