- Use only approved enterprise AI tools to retrieve, summarize, draft, classify, prioritize or automate work.

- Validate material AI outputs against current documentation and authoritative system data, record exceptions, and escalate conflicts or missing guidance.

- Do not invent product features, prices, customer entitlements, engineering limits, regulatory positions or safety instructions.

Key Responsibilities:

- Set category, sourcing, supplier and cost strategies aligned to product, project and operating plans.

- Correct inaccurate summaries, classifications or recommendations before they become customer, operational or system records.
