Context of the position

Sourcing & Supply Chain (S&SC) represents ASML’s Sourcing, Logistics and Quality interface to its external supply base and is responsible for materials availability for ASML’s factories. In today’s complex multi-tier supply chains, this is only possible by creating full transparency in the chains and flexibility at suppliers. S&SC manages over its Complex Supply Chains (CSCs) up to seven tiers deep, addressing potential bottlenecks and supply risks before they impact our customers.

It must handle the increased complexity of ASML’s systems while reducing cost of ownership for customers. To do this, S&SC works with suppliers to continuously reduce cycle time for components, modules and assemblies, increasing supply chain flexibility and customer value. S&SC also monitors the suppliers’ quality, flexibility, cycle time reductions, move rate compliance and on-time delivery reliability, driving supplier development in all areas to ensure ASML’s supply keeps pace with technological developments and can adapt to changing market conditions.

The S&SC Supplier Collaboration centre of excellence (CoE) objective is to improve supplier intimacy and collaboration. This includes move-rate transparency, and joint development of structural improvements to close performance gaps in both new product introduction (NPI) and high-volume manufacturing (HVM)
