KPIs you are measured on

Top pains and how to handle them

Requisitions arrive without specification

Return them with the requisition checklist; a clear spec saves days of back-and-forth with suppliers.

Lead times in the system are wrong

Compare quoted and actual lead times monthly and update the planning parameters.
