Responsibilities

This person would look at the variety of use cases within a commodity, and rationalize:

Could we segment and drive productivity or supply diversity if we increased the number of variations?

Do applications really require different but similar solutions, or could they be combined?

Is one set of product requirements creating cost and complexity for every other product in the portfolio? Is there a better way to segment cost?

How do volume and product lifecycle affect our decisions? Are we dealing with a legacy issue or an emerging issue?

Are there technology disruptors coming to the market that we should be considering?

Can we clarify the parameters that fundamentally drive cost so engineers can make better component selections?

Can we clarify the parameters that drive suitability to drop into designs with limited or no testing required?

Can we reduce time to change by simplifying qualifications across a narrow subset of product use cases, reducing efforts in changing components across the enterprise. Normally, this is distributed and handled individually

In a commodity-by-commodity cycle, we would see a cycle of analysis, design iteration, proposal, and then execution occur. This person will also affect the sequencing and prioritization of work we identify, and will be responsible for assigning actions and investigations to other engineers in the business unit
