- Manage cross-functional dependencies between PP, SD, MM, QM, PP-DS/APO or IBP, and FICO teams, ensuring integrated design and testing.

- Review and approve functional/technical specs (WRICEF) authored by PP consultants; ensure design consistency across the landscape.
- Guide integration testing (SIT), user acceptance testing (UAT), and cutover/data migration strategy for MTO-specific data objects (open sales orders, WIP production orders, sales order stock).
- Provide hands-on troubleshooting support for critical production issues in the MTO order-to-cash and plan-to-produce cycles.
- Ensure solution designs align with SAP best practices and leverage S/4HANA innovations (e.g., MRP Live, Production Cockpit/Manufacturing dashboards, embedded analytics) where relevant. Stakeholder & Team Management
- Act as the primary point of contact between business stakeholders (Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Sales Operations, Finance) and the technical delivery team.
- Mentor and manage a team of SAP PP functional consultants, ABAP developers, and testers.

About Company
WE THE TEKWISSEN PEOPLE
TekWissen offers you a broader portfolio of services, industry-leading solutions, and the meaningful innovations that give you greater flexibility and speed to respond to market dynamics, reduced costs and risk to improve enterprise performance, and increased productivity to enable growth.
To keep pace with global market demands, TekWissen keeps its finger on the pulse of change. Our organized approach to guiding a project from its inception to closure. Managing projects is becoming more and more important as we enter the digital era. To cope with the pace that this transition demands, a method is required to manage projects so they can yield quality work, while incorporating efficient use of time and resources.
Project involves identifying which quality standards are relevant to the project and determining how to satisfy them.
It is important to perform quality planning during the Planning Process and should be done alongside the other project planning processes because changes in the quality will likely require changes in the other planning processes, or the desired product quality may require a detailed risk analysis of an identified problem. It is important to remember that quality should be planned, designed, then built in, not added on after the fact.
