Seeking an experienced SAP PP Manager/Lead Consultant to guide SAP Production Planning and S/4HANA Manufacturing initiatives. This role involves leading end-to-end project lifecycles, from implementation and transformation to support engagements, ensuring seamless delivery of manufacturing solutions.
You will be instrumental in collaborating with stakeholders to define manufacturing and production planning requirements, leveraging SAP S/4HANA capabilities to optimize shop-floor execution and planning processes. The position requires a strong understanding of manufacturing operations and the ability to integrate PP with various SAP modules.
Lead the SAP PP workstream across diverse project phases, including implementation, rollout, and transformation. Conduct client workshops to gather and analyze end-to-end manufacturing and production planning requirements. Design and configure robust SAP S/4HANA Production Planning solutions encompassing MRP, Demand Management, BOMs, Routings, and Production Orders. Drive Fit-Gap analysis, configuration, testing, cutover planning, and post-production stabilization. Optimize production planning and shop-floor execution using SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing and Fiori. Lead integration design with MM, SD, QM, PM, FI/CO, and EWM/WM modules. Prepare functional specifications for RICEFW objects and coordinate with cross-functional teams for solution delivery. Oversee testing phases (SIT, UAT), defect resolution, and master data migration for planning-related data. Manage project plans, risks, and stakeholder expectations, while mentoring junior consultants.
A minimum of 8-12 years of dedicated SAP PP consulting experience is essential, with proven expertise in configuration and solution design. Candidates must demonstrate hands-on experience with SAP S/4HANA Production Planning and Manufacturing implementations, including MRP/MRP Live, Demand Management, BOMs, Routings, Work Centers, Production Orders, and Capacity Planning. Experience leading at least two full SAP implementation or transformation projects, preferably in S/4HANA environments, is required.
Strong knowledge of manufacturing planning, shop-floor processes, and supply chain operations is critical. A deep understanding of PP integration with MM, QM, SD, CO, PM, EWM/WM, and other related SAP modules is expected. The role demands proficiency in leading business workshops, requirement gathering, Fit-Gap analysis, and delivering strategic manufacturing solutions. Excellent project management and stakeholder management skills are necessary to independently lead the PP workstream from design through go-live. Experience in testing, cutover planning, data migration, and hypercare support is also important. Exposure to SAP PP/DS, advanced planning, MES integrations, or third-party manufacturing systems is highly advantageous. Strong communication, leadership, problem-solving, and team management skills are paramount.
