• Issue orders to factories and suppliers, negotiate and keep costs to a minimum while meeting deadlines and quality standards.
  
• Coordinate logistical tracking by communicating expected arrival dates and adjusting orders (expediting, postponing, canceling) according to evolving needs.
  
• Produce expected reports (monthly parts quota by the 3rd of the month, order fulfillment rate by the 8th), then track slow-moving parts and propose clearance strategies.
