• Identify the root cause of cost/schedule variation and develop Corrective Action Plans.
• Review monthly program reporting data prepared by Finance Analysts prior to submission, ensuring Manufacturing scope is accurately and completely represented.
• Coordinate with Finance Analysts and Program Schedulers to process budget changes, ensuring scope changes are captured through Baseline Change Control procedures.
• Understand contract incentive fee structure and how Manufacturing cost performance contributes to the program's execution.
Estimate to Complete (ETC) Development & Basis of Estimate (BOE)
• Lead the development of Estimates to Complete (ETCs) for Manufacturing Control Accounts by engaging directly with Operations supervisors, production leads, and support personnel to capture current status and remaining work.

• Coordinate with Finance Analysts to ensure ETCs are properly loaded and reconciled in the EVMS toolset.
• Maintain ETCs and BOEs on a monthly basis and update them as significant changes in scope, schedule, or technical approach occur; support IBR and program review activities by clearly articulating the basis for Manufacturing estimates.
Material Management & Analysis
• Manage the material budget within assigned Control Accounts, including purchased parts, raw materials, and customer-furnished equipment (CFE), ensuring the budget plan reflects the production schedule.
• Conduct material analysis to identify critical materials based on cost, schedule sensitivity, and supply chain risk; establish a tiered approach to EV tracking that applies greater scrutiny to high-criticality items.
• Collaborate with Supply Chain Management to monitor open purchase orders and incoming material status; provide timely updates to Finance Analysts.
• Participate in material planning reviews, and ensure material phase plans are aligned with the manufacturing production schedule.
Risk Management
• Serve as the Manufacturing representative to the program's formal Risk Management process, maintaining ownership of all manufacturing-related risks and opportunities within the Program Risk Register.
• Identify and document manufacturing risks — such as supplier delays, production challenges, material shortages, or labor constraints — and work with the team to assess their likelihood and potential impact on cost and schedule.
• Develop risk mitigation plans with defined actions, owners, and due dates; track and report progress at program risk reviews and Integrated Baseline Reviews (IBRs).
• Support Government and internal program reviews.
