Partner with Procurement to track critical path material readiness, ensuring long-lead parts are ordered and expedited per build priority

Oversee BOM maturity tracking to prevent build stalls from late ETOs or ECO revisions. Integrate factory witness test schedules into the master plan to maintain shipment sequencing
