- Develop, implement, and manage the PMI plan for supply chain ordering, ensuring alignment with overall project objectives and incorporating change management strategies for effective adoption.
- Identify and manage critical integrations with other functional teams (e.g., Procurement, Finance, Manufacturing), ensuring seamless data and process flow.
- Report progress on the work package, highlighting integration milestones, strategic procurement initiatives, and the effectiveness of the change management plan, to the E2E Supply Chain Project Manager.
