Hello;

Project Overview:

Implement OSCAR Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to enable electronic batch records (EBR) with ERP integration for BPG SUD Logan and Nashville Manufacturing.

This project is to transition away from paper-based lot record system to an Electronic Batch Record (EBR) system. This project aligns with business goals of optimizing productivity for greater efficiency in manufacturing and operations. It is also in line with digital transformation to utilize data more in business decisions and the greater goal of MES functionality within operations to enhance quality and productivity even further.

They will need to facilitate the Scrum ceremonies/meetings and collaborate with the various functional groups from requirements gathering, development, and solution implementation and roll-out at both sites.
