Job Details

Role: SAP DTS Solution Architect
Duration: 12 Months

Location: Atlanta, GA (Hybrid)

Job Description:
As a Senior SAP Production Execution Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in stabilizing and enhancing a high-volume, complex SAP S/4HANA rollout across a global consumer product enterprise. You will partner closely with cross-functional teams-including Manufacturing, Quality, Logistics, and IT-to design, build, and support end-to-end Production Execution processes. Your primary focus will be on integrating SAP S/4HANA with Enterprise Quality Management (EQM) and Transportation Management (TM), ensuring robust data flow, process consistency, and performance at scale. This role demands deep process manufacturing expertise, hands-on technical skills, and proven experience in SAP Production Execution (often referred to as PP-Pl/PP-PB) within a large, globally dispersed organization.

Professional Experience

  • Minimum 7-10 years of hands-on SAP Production Execution (PP-Pl or PP-PB) implementation, support, and enhancement experience, preferably within large, global, process-manufacturing organizations (e.g., chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, CPG).
  • At least 3 full Life-Cycle SAP S/4HANA implementations (greenfield or major re-implementation) with a focus on Production Execution and Manufacturing integration.
  • Proven track record stabilizing and optimizing a high-volume SAP Manufacturing environment post-go-live, demonstrating rapid resolution of P1/P2 issues and root cause analysis.

2. Technical Skills

SAP Modules & Functional Knowledge:

  • SAP S/4HANA Production (PP-Pl/PP-PB)
  • SAP Enterprise Quality Management (QM/EQM)
  • SAP Transportation Management (TM)
  • Integration expertise using SAP CPI (Cloud Platform Integration)
  • Development & Configuration:
  • Strong configuration skills in Production Execution (Process Orders, Production Version determination, Rate routing, Posting confirmations, Backflushing).
  • ABAP interfacing skills (user exits, BADls, BAPls) for custom integration development.
  • Familiarity with IDoc/ALE for quality and logistics interfaces (e.g., MATMAS, BATCH_UPDATE, SHPMNT05).

Database & Performance:

  • Knowledge of SAP HANA data modeling, data aging, and SAP BW/4HANA or embedded analytics (CDS View, S4HANA analytics).
  • Experience in performance tuning of high-volume transactional scenarios-SOL trace, ST05 analysis, code optimization.

3. Process Manufacturing Expertise

  • Deep understanding of batch management, formula management, hazardous goods, shelf life, and traceability requirements.
  • Knowledge of regulatory compliance (e.g., FDA 21CFR Part 11, cGMP) and how to embed electronic batch records (EBR) and compliance checks in SAP.
  • Experience with Manufacturing Execution System (MES) or SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MIi) is a plus.

4. Soft Skills & Project Experience

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret production process requirements and translate them into SAP configurations or custom developments.
  • Excellent communication skills (oral and written) to liaise with business stakeholders, leverage-case presentations, and executive-level status reporting.
  • Demonstrated leadership in mentoring/junior consultants and facilitating cross-functional workshops.
  • Ability to manage multiple concurrent rollout streams, prioritize tasks under pressure, and work effectively in a geographically dispersed matrix organization.

Key Responsibilities

1. Solution Stabilization & Support

  • Lead ongoing stabilization activities for the existing SAP S/4HANA Production Execution landscape, identifying and remediating root causes of production disruptions.
  • Troubleshoot high-volume data issues, performance bottlenecks, and batch/job failures within discrete and process manufacturing contexts.
  • Manage incident escalation, work with Basis and Infrastructure teams to resolve system-level issues and ensure service levels (SLAs) are met.

2. Design & Build (Enhancements & Integrations)

  • Collaborate with process owners to refine business requirements for Production Execution (e.g., Work Center Management, Recipe Management, Execution Confirmation, Backflush).
  • Architect and develop SAP S/4HANA configuration and enhancements for Production Execution, adhering to SAP Best Practices and industry standards.
  • Design and build seamless integrations between SAP S/4HANA Production Execution and:
  • Enterprise Quality Management (EQM): Ensure real-time data exchange for quality notifications, inspections, and non-conformance handling.
  • Transportation Management (TM): Enable visibility of production-driven shipment triggers, co loading of goods issues, and carrier assignment processes.

3. Process Manufacturing Expertise

  • Leverage deep process manufacturing knowledge (e.g., batch-oriented processes, formula/recipe management, hazardous materials handling, lot/batch traceability) to configure SAP PP-Pl and PP-PB modules.
  • Drive improvements around production scheduling (PS), capacity leveling, and rough/finite scheduling to optimize factory throughput.

4. Global Rollout & Deployment

  • Support current rollout locations (e.g., North America, Europe, Asia) and prepare documentation, configuration guides, and cutover checklists for downstream sites.
  • Conduct workshops with regional manufacturing teams to gather "as-is" process gaps and define "to-be" process flows aligned to global standards.
  • Mentor junior consultants and local super-users during cutover, hypercare, and knowledge transfer phases.


5. Continuous Improvement & Innovation

  • Propose and deliver optimization initiatives such as:
  • Embedded analytics for production-floor KPls (e.g., Overall Equipment Effectiveness, Yield Variance, Scrap Rates) using SAP Fiori or embedded BW/CDS views.
  • Workflow-driven exception handling for production deviations and quality alerts.
  • Predictive scheduling enhancements using SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or IBP features.
  • Stay abreast of SAP roadmap innovations (e.g., Production Engineering and Operations in SAP S/4HANA 2024/2025), evaluate relevance, and pilot proof-of-concepts as appropriate.


6. Documentation & Governance

  • Author and maintain comprehensive functional and technical documentation, including: configuration guides, interface specifications, test scripts, and user-training manuals.
  • Ensure compliance with change control processes-document all enhancements, configuration changes, and transport requests through ITSM (ServiceNow/JIRA).
  • Participate in periodic solution reviews, governance boards, and risk
