Description
Provide functional support across SAP Materials Management and Production Planning supporting Clients' supply, material and production-planning processes.
Work closely with Clients' planners, business SMEs, application teams, data teams and adjacent planning solutions to analyze planning requirements and issues, perform fit-gap and root-cause analysis, define functional requirements and specifications, validate master and transactional data dependencies, support SAP/planning integrations, develop and execute test scenarios, support defect resolution and assist with deployment and stabilization activities.
The resource should possess strong SAP PP/MRP and MM expertise together with end-to-end supply-chain planning knowledge, preferably within semiconductor or high-tech manufacturing environments.
Roles / responsibilities I would expect
- MM functional expertise
- Strong knowledge of material master, purchasing, procurement, source determination, purchasing info records, outline agreements, inventory management, goods movements, stock transfers, subcontracting and material availability.
- PP functional expertise
- Strong understanding of BOMs, work centers/resources, routings/recipes, production versions, planned orders, production/process orders, MRP, capacity requirements and production execution.
- MRP & supply planning
- Understand MRP parameters, lot sizing, safety stock, lead times, procurement types, special procurement, planning calendars and exception messages. Translate planning requirements into appropriate SAP behavior.
- Semiconductor planning knowledge
- Understand Client-type flows across die/chip, package, assembly/test, packout, finished goods, constrained capacity and outsourced manufacturing. This is particularly important because the work already includes NPI chip and packout allocation.
