In addition to the above the Global Logistics Coordinator will be responsible for resolving shortages in order to keep the supply lines open and the plants lines running. Due to COVID, the responsibility of the Global Logistics Coordinator also involves COVID related responsibilities such as finding available equipment when we are subject to spot rates, ensuring COVID surcharges are communicated to plants and customers, ensuring COVID Surcharges are recovered from customers.
