A critical component of this role is the technical and financial analysis of refurbishment requests for worn-out assets, ensuring an optimal balance between capital expenditure and operational efficiency.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the global Tooling sourcing process for new stamping dies (Transfer, Progressive, and Tandem) and robotic welding assembly lines.
• Identify and develop a global supplier base, focusing on Best cost without compromising technical quality.
• Conduct detailed "Should-Cost" analyses by deconstructing vendor quotes into design, material, machining, and try-out components.
• Negotiate complex commercial contracts, including milestone-based payment terms.

Tooling Refurbishment & Life Cycle Management:

• Technical Audit: Evaluate refurbishment requests for worn-out dies by analyzing toolroom reports, wear patterns (burr height, thinning, galling), and stroke-count data.
• Financial Modeling: Perform "Repair vs. Replace" (NPV/ROI) analyses to determine the most cost-effective path for aging assets.
• Scope Definition: Validate vendor overhaul proposals to ensure they address root-cause wear (e.g., replacement of bushings, re-cutting profiles, nitrogen manifold updates) rather than superficial repairs.
