Day-to-day operating brief

What Supply Chain Coordinator work looks like in practice

A Supply Chain Coordinator tracks purchase orders, supplier confirmations, deliveries and inventory or project requirements across a service-led business. The role connects procurement, finance, facilities and operational teams, often managing valuable equipment or client-dependent dates. Terms should define categories, systems, locations, supplier contact, order authority, expediting, returns, transport data, cost limits and escalation. Delivery tracking should distinguish supplier promise, carrier event, physical receipt and acceptance, preventing a scan from being treated as proof that the correct usable goods arrived. Substitute items need technical approval, price treatment and revised lead-time evidence. Supplier master changes should follow independent verification. During shortages, allocation decisions belong to the authorised operational owner; the coordinator supplies accurate options and consequences rather than quietly favouring the loudest requester. Forecast demand and authorised requisitions are different signals and should not be combined into an unapproved order. For imported or temperature-sensitive goods, the coordinator records required documentation and exceptions while specialists retain responsibility for regulatory or quality release.

  • Raise authorised orders.
  • Confirm supplier dates and quantities.
  • Track delivery and receipt.
  • Coordinate shortages and returns.
  • Maintain supplier and item data.
