Enclosure Global Supply Manager

Our enclosure global supply management team is responsible for the sourcing, manufacturing development, execution and production of Apple's differentiated and unique mechanical enclosure parts.
Part of Apple's core business is the creation and development of our world-class mechanical / industrial designs and as such, the management of the supply chains is required to be equally unique, innovative and specialized.
Due to the importance of this discipline in the definition of Apple's brand, this business group must innovate not only our products, but also the very business processes by which we accomplish our objectives. The complicated balance between the need to achieve ground breaking mechanical developments and business execution creates challenges that drive processes that require a bridge from engineering risk to manufacturing capability to business needs.
Individuals in this group support the following:
- Supply chain management: identification, development, and management of existing and developing Apple mechanical suppliers, capacity planning and production strategy design.
- On time delivery: schedule, capacity and supply planning to meet Apple's production demand.
- Program Management: on site management of mechanical enclosure manufacturing partners to manage the development builds, risk mitigation and ramp.
- Cross-functional support: with Apple's industrial design, product development and operations teams.
- Risk Mitigation: evaluation of technical and business risks using data based analysis and developing sound risk mitigation alternatives.
- Cost: development, negotiation and execution of a part and assembly cost strategy. An understanding of mechanical manufacturing techniques is important to better evaluate supplier capabilities and opportunities for Apple.
