Responsibilities

• Collaborate with business stakeholders to gather, analyze, and refine requirements, designing scalable Production Planning solutions within SAP ERP/S4HANA
• Design integrated end‐to‐end architectures that streamline manufacturing operations, ensuring seamless data and process flow between SAP S/4HANA PP, adjacent SAP modules (MM, QM, PM, SD), and Third‐Party systems (MES, APS, LIMS, etc.)
• Promote and enforce industry Best Practices, guiding the organization toward solutions aligned with long‐term operational excellence rather than individual preferences
• Lead implementation and customization efforts for SAP Production Planning modules (PP, PP‐DS), ensuring alignment with manufacturing strategies, planning processes, and operational KPIs
• Oversee the complete project lifecycle, from conceptual design and blueprinting through configuration, testing cycles (SIT/UAT), cutover, hypercare, and stabilization
• Conduct workshops, training sessions, and knowledge‐transfer activities to support end‐user adoption and ensure effective use of SAP PP capabilities
• Troubleshoot complex functional and integration issues, especially in areas such as MRP/MRP Live, capacity planning, shop floor execution, BOM/routing consistency, and integration with MES or APO/PP‐DS
• Continuously evaluate and recommend system enhancements, staying current with S/4HANA innovations (e.g., MRP Live, embedded PP‐DS, predictive MRP) that could improve production planning efficiency
• Collaborate closely with technical teams, providing functional specifications, participating in ABAP debugging sessions, and validating integration developments (IDocs, BAPIs, APIs)
