SOW’s may also be provided for more complicated purchase orders.

•Monitored the Sale’s department’s open backlog report to ensure any long lead items were addressed first in order to minimize delayed deliveries to the customer.

•Handled all receiving and any invoice issues that arose and worked closely with Accounts Payables and Receiving for resolution. Additional documents like POD’s, C of C’s or packing slips may need to be requested from the supplier to assist in the payment approval.

•Bid out new products and existing items to as many suppliers as possible. The only exception to RFQ’s are when there is a sole source vendors (OEM) that are willing to sell direct due to our high volume of purchases.

After incoming inspection approval, letting the supplier ship the balance. prior to giving approval to ship the balance of the order.

•Maintained vendor rating reports based on quality and on-time deliveries and communicated any issues to the suppliers in order for them to rectify the issues going forward. If a rejection is discovered and the supplier cannot conform to our specifications on a particular custom part, a teleconference call with both of our Engineering’s departments may be scheduled to see how crucial the issue is and come to a resolution for both parties.

•Set up as many blanket purchase orders that are required in order to obtain the volume discounts but to only pay invoices after receipt of each release and based on our payment terms with are typically Net 30. Usually, blanket orders are set up for monthly deliveries and are valid for six to twelve months based on the sales items history.

•Assist in setting up and maintaining the supplier database in the system with all the pertinent information needed including contacts, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, telex numbers, tax exempt forms, NDAs and W-9 ID forms.
