Job Description

Summary

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. Do you want to be part of a team critical to the success of Apple? As a Materials Program Manager, you will play a crucial role in handling materials that have critical impact on the organization. Responsibilities will encompass materials planning (Clear to build), inventory control, Excess & Obsolete (E&O) analysis and projections, New Product Material readiness, logistics readiness from Suppliers to Contract Manufacturers.

Description

Develop the strategic direction, goals, objectives and key measurement systems to ensure the business goals are met. Specific responsibilities include, but not limited to: CLEAR TO BUILD- Handle the CTB process, ensure the process is working smoothly and we have clear visibility on materials over a 26-week horizon. Partner with the CM’s and the GSMs (Global Supply Managers) on all identified material issues (including sub-tier supply chain) until issues are closed/resolved. LOGISTICS- Ensure the smooth flow of materials necessary to meet the production schedules, inventory control requirements, and on-going production line support. Make sure that we clearly understand the logistics requirements by commodity to enable an uninterrupted flow of materials. EXCESS & OBSOLETE- Lead phase-out of obsolete parts and the transition to new production materials. - Identify and mitigate E&O in advance to ensure we make the correct company decisions regarding build plan changes, cut-in vs. roll-in requirements, post ramp qualification opportunities, etc. - Highlight parts with liability and propose solutions to management. - Upon Engineering Change Notice (ECN) or End of Production (EOP) events, track & audit E&O claims, report to Finance for financial reserves, and ensure timely resolution and closure of such claims/reserves. NEW PRODUCT MATERIALS READINESS- During New Product Introduction (NPI) phase, lead material readiness meetings with the GSMs to ensure that we understand the supply base and related challenges (i.e. supplier location and logistics, sole sourced modules, component lead-time, supplier share of business, order lead time and order cancellation window). - Identify critical engineering release breakthroughs; assess necessity for risk ramp and associated liabilities, to ensure material supply for product ramp is protected. - Identify issues early in the NPI phase and monitor/drive these to resolution prior to ramp. - Identify supply chain on modules and components to ensure that we understand any new challenges associated with the new product. ALLOCATIONS- Play a meaningful role in the allocation of components that are in short supply. - Provide an aggregated view of supply versus demand as the baseline for program and site-allocation decisions. - Collaborate with the Supply Demand Management (SDM) team and GSMs to make sure we allocate parts to improve revenue. Communicate the allocation plans with the significant parties. EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT REPORTING- Build and maintain reports and summaries on a regular (weekly/daily) basis to support the business growth. Ensure data is accurate and on time.
