Job Description
Role Overview:
We are seeking a highly skilled SAP EPPDS (Enhanced Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling) Consultant to support complex production planning initiatives within process manufacturing environments, particularly liquid manufacturing and tank planning.
The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on expertise in SAP PPDS heuristics, master data management, and end-to-end PPDS solution delivery. This role requires the ability to work independently, manage complex planning scenarios, and deliver optimized production planning solutions aligned with business objectives.
Key Responsibilities
PPDS Solution Design & Configuration
- Analyze and translate business requirements related to Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPDS) within process manufacturing environments, with a strong focus on liquid manufacturing and tank-based planning
- Design, configure, and deploy SAP PPDS heuristics, including both standard and custom heuristics such as PP_002 and advanced rescheduling heuristics
- Build, configure, and optimize PPDS Master Data, including:
- Resources and handling resources
- Production Data Structures (PDS)
- Products and Bills of Materials (BOMs)
- Master Recipes for process manufacturing
- Configure and manage Master Recipes to support batch-oriented and process-driven production scenarios
- Implement, customize, and optimize PPDS Scheduling Boards to address complex production constraints, sequencing rules, and capacity limitations
Operational Support & Planning Optimization:
- Provide functional expertise in batch management across the full planning and execution lifecycle
- Configure and manage handling resources for process manufacturing, including tanks, batch processing units, and intermediate storage
- Perform and optimize tank planning, capacity leveling, and constraint-based scheduling in PPDS
- Analyze, troubleshoot, and fine-tune rescheduling, realignment, and exception-handling scenarios within SAP PPDS
- Ensure stable, efficient, and optimized planning results aligned with operational and business objectives
End-to-End Process Consulting & Stakeholder Collaboration:
- Map, analyze, and optimize end-to-end business processes in liquid manufacturing, covering:
- Material and batch flow
- Tank utilization and sequencing
- Inventory and capacity optimization
- Work closely with business stakeholders and IT teams to convert functional requirements into scalable PPDS system solutions
- Support UAT, cutover planning, and go-live activities, ensuring smooth deployment and adoption
- Mentor junior consultants and provide functional guidance and training on SAP PPDS concepts, configuration, and best practices
Required Qualifications & Skills:
- 4–6 years of hands-on experience in SAP PPDS / EPPDS
- Strong expertise in PPDS heuristics and scheduling optimization
- Solid understanding of process manufacturing, especially liquid manufacturing and tank planning
- In-depth knowledge of PPDS master data and master recipe configuration
- Ability to work independently in complex and dynamic project environments
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and stakeholder communication skills
Other Details :
- Location: As per Project Requirement
- CTC: Up to ₹15 LPA
