The SAP Production Planning and Quality Management Functional Consultant is responsible for designing, configuring, and implementing SAP S/4HANA Production Planning solutions with full integration to Quality Management in a Greenfield environment. This role partners directly with client business teams to gather requirements, design manufacturing processes, and support seamless integration across PP, QM, EWM, external manufacturing, and other connected functions. The consultant will lead solution design workshops, define process flows, develop testing strategies, troubleshoot integration challenges, and coordinate with technical and architectural teams to ensure end-to-end solution alignment. The role also includes supporting MES integrations (such as Solumina), enhancing SAP modules, and mentoring junior team members. The ideal candidate brings deep PP/QM expertise, manufacturing execution experience, and strong understanding of made-to-order production scenarios.

Key responsibilities:
  • Develop and deliver Production Planning demos, clearly articulating business benefits

  • Perform business process design, system analysis, and solution validation
  • Coordinate with architects, developers, BASIS, middleware, portal teams, and business analysts
  • Enhance SAP modules and support integrations with MES systems such as Solumina
  • Develop test strategies and lead complex testing efforts for PP integrated with QM
  • Manage a functional team and provide mentoring and training to junior consultants
  • Support manufacturing execution processes, including planning for made-to-order materials

Additional skills desired:
  • Experience implementing a Greenfield S/4HANA solution using core Production Planning (not IBP or APO)
  • Experience integrating Quality Management from a third-party system with SAP PP
  • Strong preference for candidates with manufacturing execution experience using SAP PP
  • Experience working with demand sources such as Project Systems, Sales Orders, and Planned Independent Requirements

Here's what you need:
  • Proven hands-on experience configuring SAP PP and QM in S/4HANA environments
