Key Responsibilities
- BOP Strategy: Define and execute Backorder Processing strategies (Win, Gain, Redistribute, Fill, Lose) to automate inventory reallocation.
- Allocation Management: Set up Product Allocation (PAL) rules to prevent stock-outs for critical customers and manage constrained supply.
- Substitution Logic: Configure Alternative-Based Confirmation (ABC) to automatically suggest alternative plants or products when the primary request cannot be met.
- Supply Chain Liaison: Work closely with Sales and Production to ensure confirmation dates align with actual manufacturing lead times.
Technical Profile
- Expertise in S/4HANA aATP functionalities (PAL, BOP, ABC, PAC).
- Strong understanding of SD (Sales & Distribution) integration.
- Analytical mindset to interpret complex confirmation logs and supply-demand imbalances.
Subject Matter Expert: SAP EWM

Key Responsibilities
- Process Optimization: Oversee Inbound/Outbound processes, including Wave Management, De-consolidation, and Putaway strategies.

Subject Matter Expert: SAP PPDS
Role Purpose
The PPDS SME is the master of the factory floor's schedule. This role translates the high-level plan into a feasible, finite production sequence that maximizes machine utilization while meeting the deadlines set by aATP.
Key Responsibilities
- Finite Scheduling: Use the Detailed Scheduling Planning Board to sequence orders, minimize changeover times, and manage bottleneck resources.
- Heuristics & Optimizers: Fine-tune the PPDS Optimizer settings to automatically resolve capacity overloads based on cost or time constraints.
- Master Data Integrity: Maintain the Production Data Structure (PDS), setup matrices, and resource capacities to ensure the Digital Twin of the factory is accurate.
- Alert Monitoring: Proactively resolve scheduling conflicts (e.g., component delays or machine downtime) to prevent shipping delays.
Technical Profile
- Specialized knowledge in SAP PPDS on S/4HANA
- Strong understanding of Production Planning (PP) and Master Production Scheduling (MPS).
- Background in Industrial Engineering or Supply Chain Planning is highly preferred.
