Job Description
The SAP P2M Process Analyst will streamline, model, and implement core Plan-to-Make business processes across SAP S/4HANA (or SAP ECC). Acting as a functional expert, this role is responsible for translating manufacturing, demand planning, and shop-floor execution requirements into functional design specifications, system configurations, and automated SAP workflows.
Key Responsibilities
Process Analysis & Solution Design:
Map, model, and optimize end-to-end Plan-to-Make (P2M) processes, including Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP), Demand Management, Material Requirements Planning (MRP), Production Scheduling, and Capacity Planning.
Design solutions for shop-floor execution, Work Center management, Routing/BOM configurations, goods issue for production, and production order confirmation.
SAP Module Configuration & Integration:
Configure core SAP modules supporting P2M: SAP PP (Production Planning), PP-DS (Detailed Scheduling), PM (Plant Maintenance), and SAP IBP (Integrated Business Planning).
Oversee cross-module integrations between P2M processes and Procure-to-Pay (P2P/MM), Order-to-Cash (O2C/SD), and FICO (Product Costing & Inventory Valuation).
Requirements & Functional Specifications:
Facilitate business discovery workshops, perform fit-gap analysis, and write clear Functional Design Documents (FDDs) for WRICEF objects (Workflows, Reports, Interfaces, Conversions, Enhancements, and Forms).
Translate complex operational pain points into technical user stories and process flow diagrams using standard process-modeling tools.
Testing, Deployment & Continuous Improvement:
Define and execute Unit Testing, System Integration Testing (SIT), and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) scenarios.
Monitor business KPIs (e.g., schedule adherence, scrap rates, inventory turns, MRP exception resolutions) using reporting and process mining tools to identify bottlenecks.
Required Qualifications & Skills
Core Experience:
10+ years of functional experience in SAP PP / PP-DS / S/4HANA Manufacturing modules.
Proven expertise in process mapping and functional analysis within discrete manufacturing, process manufacturing, or repetitive manufacturing environments.
Technical & Process Competencies:
In-depth understanding of master data management (BOMs, Routings, Work Centers, Production Versions, Material Master).
Experience with process modeling tools (e.g., SAP Signavio, ARIS, Visio) and Agile/SDLC deployment methodologies.
Preferred Qualifications
Certifications: SAP Certified Application Associate – SAP S/4HANA Production Planning and Manufacturing or APICS/CPIM.
Experience with SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud (DMC), SAP MES integration, or SAP IBP.
