Vendor Lifecycle & Relationship Management

• Design, implement, and monitor internal "Service Excellence" KPIs that govern responsiveness, order accuracy, and issue resolution timelines for the global network.
• Architect a proactive notification system that alerts franchisees to potential shipping delays or supply constraints before they impact construction or opening timelines.
