Position Summary

The LTB Analyst plays a critical role in Material Obsolescence Management within the Supply Chain and Procurement organization.

Key Responsibilities

  • EOL PCN Analysis: Perform preliminary assessments of EOL PCNs, including confirming EOL lists, unit prices, SKUs, technology, and consumption history.

  • Business Decision Coordination: Facilitate the final alignment on LTB/BB/NB (No Buy) decisions between Engineering, Product Management, and other stakeholders.

  • Data & Forecasting:

    • Identify products/SKUs, where-used, consumption history, and MRP data.

    • Collaborate with the Service Team to obtain LRP (Last Run Product) and service requirements, including Depot and Field Service forecast quantities.

    • Analyze shortage quantities and spend data.

  • Execution & Documentation:

    • Create business summaries for leadership approval, detailing the rationale for proposed LTB/BB, strategy, consumption history, mitigation efforts, and inventory impact.

    • Execute LTB/BB/NB decisions, including Agile approval/release and documentation of supplier PO numbers and quantities.

    • Manage system updates (e.g., changing Oracle EBS part life status to ‘LTB/BB’ and Agile MPN lifecycle to ‘Obsolete’).

  • Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner with Engineering to confirm ROME (Rough Order Magnitude Engineering) costs and redesign timing, and work with Category Management to document final decisions and upload supporting files into Agile.
