Working cross-functionally with Engineering, Quality, Operations Management, and Manufacturing teams, the Materials Director ensures a seamless flow of direct materials to enable on-time program delivery and cost-effective execution in a highly regulated, complex environment. The role also oversees the efficient procurement, warehousing, and distribution of inventory and material resources to meet operational demands through effective materials strategies and PFEP (Plan for Every Part) implementation.

* PFEP Integration: Ensure every part has a documented PFEP covering supplier, packaging, transportation, storage, order frequency, inventory targets, and handling instructions. Integrate PFEP into ERP and MES systems for real-time visibility and analytics.
* Inventory Optimization: Leverage PFEP data to optimize inventory levels, reduce excess stock, and improve space utilization.
* Governance & Accountability: Establish PFEP governance processes including ownership, audits, updates, and KPI tracking to ensure sustainability and continuous improvement.
* Early Engagement & NPI: Lead early engagement during New Product Introduction (NPI) to define PFEP and lineside material presentation strategies.
