The solutions that are delivered by the Agile Release Train focus on process and tooling improvements, enabling ASML and its supplier base to increase efficiency, performance and productivity. To reach this goal, you work together with your stakeholder in business and IT to define the priorities and product roadmap for sourcing and supplier collaboration.
