• Cross-Functional Partnership: Serve as the factory's supply chain integrator - collaborating daily with Manufacturing, Quality, Procurement, Transportation, Customs, and Corporate Supply Chain to keep the plant running.
• LEAN Source Leader for the site - championing Value Stream thinking across the operation.
• NCE / TPM Leadership: Actively drive Nestlé Continuous Excellence (NCE) and Total Performance Management (TPM) within the Business Unit and across the factory.
• Budget & Performance: Develop the Supply Chain budget, own performance plans, and deliver against cost, service, and inventory KPIs.
