Supplier Relationship Management:

  • Build and maintain strong, professional relationships with key suppliers to foster long-term partnerships, particularly those supplying PCBs, prototypes, and other critical materials.
  • Conduct regular evaluations of supplier performance, focusing on quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Facilitate open communication with suppliers to address any issues or changes in requirements promptly, ensuring service agreements and contracts are met.
  • Work closely with suppliers on continuous improvement initiatives, focusing on product quality, lead-time and cost reduction.

  • Monitor contract terms and renegotiate proactively to maintain favorable conditions, ensuring high standards and continuity of service.
  • Keep track of contract renewal dates to avoid disruptions in operations, especially for mission-critical components.

Inventory & Logistics Management:

  • Ensure inventory levels are aligned with demand forecasts and production requirements, particularly for time-sensitive and high-priority materials like PCBs and tooling components.
  • Develop contingency plans to handle inventory disruptions and unexpected demand spikes.
  • Coordinate with warehouse teams to ensure the efficient storage, handling, and distribution of materials.

Quality Assurance:

  • Collaborate with quality teams to set clear expectations for procured materials, including PCBs and prototype parts.
  • Review supplier quality records to ensure incoming materials meet Amphenol’s standards.
  • Address quality issues with suppliers, implementing corrective actions and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Document quality issues and performance, building a history that informs future supplier decisions.

Cost Control & Optimization:

  • Perform cost analysis to identify potential savings without compromising material quality, especially when procuring PCBs, tooling, and prototypes.
  • Develop strategies for cost reduction, such as supplier consolidation or optimized order volumes.
  • Regularly benchmark supplier pricing against market trends to ensure competitive pricing, especially for fast-turnaround projects and service agreements.

Data Analysis & Reporting:

  • Collect and analyze purchasing and supply chain data, tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) such as cost savings, lead times, and supplier performance.
  • Produce regular procurement reports for management.
  • Identify trends and patterns in purchasing data to forecast needs and adjust strategies accordingly.
  • Conduct root-cause analysis for any supply chain issues and propose data-driven solutions to enhance operational efficiency.

Qualifications:
