SAP PP Production Planning & Control Discrete Industries

We are hiring for MNC company

Role & responsibilities

Functional & Technical Delivery

• Configure and support SAP PP processes including:
• Material Requirement Planning (MRP)
• Production Orders & Execution
• Routings, Work Centers & BOM Management
• Capacity Planning & Scheduling
• Backflushing & Costing Integration
• Goods Movements & Shop floor Reporting
• Use AI copilots to accelerate:
• Functional specification creation
• Routing/BOM validation
• Test case generation for MRP, order creation, confirmations
• Documentation automation (FS/TS/SOPs)
• Support full lifecycle delivery: requirements, design, configuration, SIT/UAT, deployment, hypercare support.
• Integrate PP with MM, QM, SD, FI/CO, and shop floor systems (MES), leveraging standard APIs and middleware.

AI Assisted Productivity

• Use AI copilots for:
• Automated summarization of requirements and change impacts
• Analysis of MRP exceptions and planning alerts
• Validation of order execution and production variances
• Faster defect isolation in BOM/routing/work center configurations
• Integrate pre built AI services into production workflows, such as:
• Predictive insights (e.g., potential material shortages or order delays)
• Intelligent classification of production issues
• Automated summarization of production batch deviations
• Smart suggestions based on historical production performance
• Use LLM assisted troubleshooting to reduce time spent analyzing MRP exception messages, order failures, and material shortages.

Governance, Quality & Collaboration

• Ensure compliance with production governance, change controls, data accuracy standards, and audit policies.
• Participate in workshops, solution reviews, and process optimization discussions enhanced by AI generated insights.
• Collaborate with production, quality, warehouse, procurement, cost controlling, and integration teams to deliver end to end planning excellence.
• Create reusable templates, checklists, test packs, and AI enabled best practices for SAP PP delivery.

Required Skills & Experience

SAP PP Expertise

• Strong understanding of discrete manufacturing processes including BOM/routing management, production order cycles, capacity planning, scheduling, and MRP.
• Experience with integration across MM (material availability), QM (inspection lots), SD (demand), and FI/CO (costing).
• Familiarity with order confirmations, settlements, and shop floor data capture processes.

AI Ready Skills

• Ability to use AI copilots, automated documentation tools, and AI assisted test accelerators.
• Comfortable embedding pre built AI capabilities into production planning or execution (not custom model building).
• Awareness of responsible AI usage and limitations in manufacturing and planning environments.

General Professional Skills

• Strong analytical and problem solving skills related to production variability, MRP outcomes, and resource planning.
• Ability to translate manufacturing requirements into scalable SAP PP configurations.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and operational teams.
• Continuous learning mindset with comfort adopting AI assisted workflows.

Good to Have

• SAP PP Certification (S/4HANA Manufacturing).
• Experience with MES systems, shop floor integrations, or IoT enabled production data.
• Exposure to EWM/WM, PM, or APO/IBP environments.
• Familiarity with automated testing tools (Tricentis, CBTA).

Outcome Expectations

• Deliver faster, more reliable SAP PP solutions using AI enabled productivity tools.
• Improve planning accuracy, resource utilization, and production stability.
• Act as a bridge between manufacturing teams, SAP engineering teams, and AI native experts when deeper AI capabilities are required.

Additional Information

• A 15 years full time education is required.
