Analyze Needs and Initiate Projects - Develop a working understanding of FCH’s operations, finance, supply chain, engineering, quality and commercial functions, including how their processes, systems and data connect.
- Lead requirements gathering through stakeholder interviews, workshops and site visits. Document business, functional and technical requirements and secure stakeholder approval.
- Map current processes, identify gaps, inefficiencies and control risks, and define the future-state processes each project will deliver.
- Build business cases that outline expected benefits, costs and operational impact to support project approval and prioritization.
- Create project charters that define objectives, scope, success criteria, assumptions, constraints and stakeholder roles.
- Turn approved requirements into plans with deliverables, tasks, dependencies and milestones that account for operational needs such as month-end close, production schedules and plant shutdowns.
- Assess project impact on sites, roles, processes, data and controls.
- Define data, reporting, integration and migration requirements with system owners and IT Operations.
- Create user acceptance test scenarios from approved requirements, coordinate business testing and confirm solutions meet agreed needs.
- Evaluate change requests against approved charters and requirements; document their impact on scope, schedule, cost and risk before approval.
- Support adoption with process documentation and training materials, and verify expected benefits after go-live.
