Location: Remote

Duration: 12 months 

Rate: $85 - $90/hr. W2



What You Will Work On
  • Assume ownership of the SAP PP incident, enhancement, and process-improvement backlog.
  • Assess the current performance of MRP, production scheduling and manufacturing execution.
  • Review planning strategies, lot-sizing procedures, procurement types, safety stock and other MRP parameters.
  • Analyze bills of material, routings, work centers and production versions.
  • Improve production-order creation, release, confirmation, goods movement, completion and settlement processes.
  • Identify causes of material shortages, schedule instability, capacity constraints and planning exceptions.
  • Assess manual planner workarounds and spreadsheet-based processes.
  • Improve integration among PP, MM, QM, FICO, warehouse functions, engineering and plant systems.
  • Support make-to-stock, make-to-order, engineer-to-order or project-related production scenarios as applicable.
  • Address rework, scrap, yield, production variance and exception-management processes.
  • Review manufacturing master-data governance and ownership.
  • Lead functional design, configuration, testing, deployment and post-production validation.
  • Partner directly with production planners, plant leadership, manufacturing, engineering and finance.
  • Support MSP knowledge transfer and establish sustainable functional ownership.
  • Identify practical process improvements without destabilizing current production.
What You Will Bring
  • 10 or more years of SAP PP functional consulting experience.
  • Deep experience in discrete and complex manufacturing environments.
  • Strong hands-on SAP PP configuration capability.
  • Material Requirements Planning and planning-parameter expertise.
  • Bills of material, routings, work centers and production versions.
  • Production-order lifecycle, confirmations, goods issues, goods receipts and settlement.
  • Capacity planning, scheduling and material-availability checking.
  • Make-to-stock, make-to-order and engineer-to-order experience.
  • Strong PP integration with MM and manufacturing inventory processes.
  • Understanding of product costing, WIP, production variances and settlement integration with FICO.
  • Experience working with QM, PM, Project Systems, warehouse processes or MES integrations.
  • Strong manufacturing master-data and root-cause-analysis skills.
  • Proven experience in SAP stabilization, remediation or MSP transition.
  • Ability to engage directly with production planners and plant users.
  • Ability to distinguish process, configuration, data, custom-code and integration issues.

  • Preferred experience: 

  • SAP S/4HANA Production Planning.
  • MRP Live.
  • Embedded PP/DS or advanced planning and scheduling.
  • Project Systems integration.
  • Variant configuration or engineer-to-order manufacturing.
