The Supervisor manages the Change Coordination team and partners closely with the PLM/PDM Manager and cross-functional stakeholders to improve execution efficiency, data integrity, and ECO throughput. The Supervisor executes and enforces change control processes as defined by the PLM/PDM Manager, provides input and recommendations for continuous improvement, and ensures consistent day-to-day compliance. Workload is generally 70% supervision, training, and process oversight and 30% direct change coordination, with flexibility based on ECO volume and business priorities.
