Technical Responsibilities:

• Sourcing & Drawings:

  Ensure that supplier inputs and cost feasibility are provided on time, with feedback from the SBC (material cost) assessment. Ensure suppliers meet technical requirements.

• Technical Sign-Off:

  Work with the PEH (Project Engineering Head) to ensure that only suppliers capable of meeting targets are approved.

Techno-Commercial Responsibilities:

  Ensure part development aligns with TCP (Total Cost of Product) targets. This includes getting quotes from suppliers, confirming their capacity to meet volume demands, and minimizing cost trade-offs.

• Cost Alignment:

  Ensure that SBC and supplier quotes align closely so there are no major cost discrepancies.

Commercial Responsibilities:

• Supplier Panel & VoB (Voice of Business):

  Work with SSU (Supplier Strategic Unit) to onboard only those suppliers who have passed the technical sign-off.

Part Development:

• Material Cost & Budget:

  Ensure parts are delivered on time, meet quality standards, and are within the projected budget.

• Vendor PPAP:

  Ensure timely completion of vendor PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) and handover to SQE (Supplier Quality Engineering) and SCM (Supply Chain Management).

Other Responsibilities:

• Project Budget:

  Help finalize the project budget related to part development and provide inputs for the business case.

• System-Level Feedback:

  Provide feedback to PEH on techno-commercial feasibility for different components.

• Make vs. Buy Decisions:

In short, the Platform Purchase Head ensures that the technical, commercial, and cost aspects of part development are aligned to meet project targets, while working closely with suppliers and other internal teams.
