- Expedite critical materials; escalate commercial leverage requirements to RCM after exhausting first-line options
- Coordinate cross-functionally with production planning; maintain aligned constraint and delivery horizon

Escalation Path:



Product & project issues → Procurement Product Line Management structure | Category & supplier issues → Category Management structure
