• Set up and manage Real-Time Integration (RTI) with SAP S/4HANA, enabling synchronized operational and supply planning.
• Configure supply planning runs with switchable constraints, allocation creation, and propagation logic.
• Develop and maintain master data extensibility, reconciliation processes, and planning area consistency.
• Execute constrained and unconstrained algorithms including heuristics, prioritization, optimization, and supply usage analysis.
• Model and apply constraints across production, transportation, and storage resources, enabling realistic planning outputs.
• Create and manage short-term deployment runs, operational supply plans, gating factor analysis, planner workspace insights, projected stock analysis, and response planning evaluations.
• Integrate SAP IBP with external systems using CPI-DS and RTI, develop simulation scenarios, compare outcomes using Excel and Web UI dashboards, and support synchronized planning with SAP S/4HANA for production and detailed scheduling.
