• Track build readiness (material availability, tooling, DID, recipe, conversion readiness).

2. Daily Operations & Issue Tracking

• Support daily shift execution by tracking:
• Tool readiness / downtime impact to NPI
• Conversion issues (recipe mismatch, DID gaps, tooling mismatch)
• Process abnormalities, yield issues, and holds
• Help prepare and update daily execution trackers, WIP lists, and action logs.
• Escalate execution blockers promptly to responsible owners.

3. CrossFunctional Coordination

• Work closely with:
• NPI / NPM engineers
