### Job Title
BOM Productivity Program Manager MR

Job Description

Job Responsibilities:

The BOM Productivity Program Manager MR is responsible for program management of productivity and savings initiatives that change the material cost of the MR product bill of material (BOM) in terms of (design) Concept & Sourcing (C&S). The role converts agreed BOM C&S productivity targets into a focused initiative portfolio and drives disciplined execution, financial tracking, and governance from opportunity identification through validated savings realization.Working with the VCP Lead, Engineering, Procurement, Supplier Quality, Finance, and designated initiative owners, the Program Manager maintains the BOM C&S savings funnel, coordinates value engineering and sourcing actions, tracks milestones and risks, and prepares decisions needed to deliver measurable BOM savings.

Your Role:

A. BOM C&S target deployment and savings tracking

Translate agreed MR BOM C&S productivity and savings goals into a structured portfolio of initiatives, owners, milestones, and expected benefits.Maintain a transparent view of the BOM C&S opportunity funnel, committed savings, forecast, delivery risks, and timing with Finance and functional owners.Ensure business cases document the BOM baseline, cost assumptions, saving mechanism, implementation timing, and benefit calculation.Translate the productivity program into the FCP roadmaps for the MR configurations.Coordinate periodic validation of savings with Finance and Procurement according to applicable business rules.Prepare concise performance updates, variance explanations, and decision requests for the VCP Lead and relevant governance forums.
