  recommendations.
• prepare and conduct negotiations on tolling fees, raw-material models, capacity, yields, logistics, payment terms.

  issues, claims and supplier escalations.
• work closely with Business Units, Operations, Production Planning, Logistics, Quality, Regulatory, Finance and Legal to turn complex
  interfaces into executable solutions.
• apply our common supplier-management approach and follow agreed actions through to closure.
