As the SAP Production Planning Consultant, you will collaborate with the Supply Chain teams to integrate and optimize SAP solutions and processes. This role is pivotal for the successful adoption of SAP’s Production Planning module during initial deployments in Connecticut, Arizona, and New Jersey.

Your duties will also involve creating and maintaining documentation, addressing non-technical issues like training, access, and data concerns. Additionally, you will prepare two future deployment sites (large CPG facilities) by performing gap analysis, system demos, and data preparation. Your focus will be on key Production Planning elements, including organization structure setup, materials data, Bills of Materials, Work Centres, Routings, Products, and integration with other SAP modules such as SD, MM, QM, FICO, and PM.
