  abstract  = {In large-scale manufacturing, supplier management is more than an operational function, it is a critical foundation for supply chain integrity, regulatory compliance, and enterprise resilience. Fragmented supplier data, manual verification, and disconnected workflows create significant governance challenges across extensive vendor networks. This paper presents Martin Marietta’s digital transformation of supplier management across more than 16,000 U.S.-based vendors, leveraging Oracle Fusion Cloud Supplier Relationship Management to establish a centralized, compliance-driven supplier ecosystem. The transformation integrates three fundamental pillars: intelligent supplier onboarding, automated tax identification verification, and continuous compliance governance. Self-service registration, rule-based validation, exception-driven workflows, and integration with enterprise systems replace fragmented processes with standardized, traceable supplier lifecycle management. The architecture enables real-time visibility into supplier onboarding, compliance exceptions, certification expirations, and approval bottlenecks, transforming procurement oversight from reactive administration into proactive governance. Drawing on production implementation experiences, the paper examines architectural decisions, integration challenges, and adoption strategies essential for enterprise-scale transformation. It demonstrates how supplier identity, compliance intelligence, and workflow orchestration converge to establish a trusted, auditable, and scalable supplier network, offering a practical blueprint for modernizing procurement governance across complex manufacturing enterprises.}
