• Material Risk Assessment: Collaborated with cross-functional teams, including New Product Sourcing (NPS) and engineering teams, to assess material risks. Identified components with critical sourcing risks such as End of Life parts and non-preferred manufacturer lists. Developed actionable tasks and deadlines to mitigate sourcing risks and ensure continuous availability of materials.• Budget Estimation: Contributed to budgeting estimation during the new product development phase by acquiring initial estimates for operational expenditures (OPEX), including staffing, certifications, and engineering materials, as well as capital expenditures (CAPEX) for production tooling and factory setup.• Risk Management: Maintained the risk register for the Aloha radio project, conducting weekly stand-up calls to assess and address new risks. Evaluated causes, updated mitigation strategies, and updated current progress to reduce the Risk Priority Number (RPN) for high-impact risks.• Inventory Management Tool Development: Created a Google Sheets-based inventory management tool for the PM organization to track radio accessories. Designed a real-time dashboard displaying on-hand quantities, checked-out parts count, and individual check-outs. Utilized Google Apps Script to automate email notifications when stock levels fell below reorder thresholds.
