EXPERIENCE:

Confidential

SAP Business Process Expert

Responsibilities:

• Supported the original ATP design and modified it to not include stock in transit and discreet PO’s during delivery creation.
• We relied heavily on product substitution scenarios during cut over as part of ATP.
• Led the ATP re-design from an MRP push type scenario to a Kan Ban pull replenishment based on ROP. The OTC ATP was modified to support this effort by considering the replenishment lead time during order confirmation. Initially only high-volume brand codes have been used for the replenishment ATP change.
• Designed and implemented the ATP (V V2) modification which would determine order availability based on the material availability date and not the customer requested delivery date. This reduced order cuts significantly over the course of the last 6 months of 2016 to help reach the target fill rate goals.
• Supported the divestiture from P&G to Confidential which included configuration and development of the SD, MM and AR modules. Lead support during hyper-care to facilitate incoming orders, outgoing shipments and AR. Supported AR Billing by implementing invoice transmission via email. Also monitored and resolved daily EDI inbound orders and outbound invoices to resolve IDOC and customer issues
• Tested the layout for the invoice to complete the cash discount calculation change. The small effort and change resulted in a $3 million savings alone for one customer. Total company savings could reach $10 million if the cash discount is calculated off the net as opposed to the gross value.
• Design and BAT Test Lead for the North America Network Redesign Project. UAT testing was completed on time and all defects were resolved. The scope was to move from 3 regional DC’s to a single DC and consolidate our product packaging all into one facility. The project reduced the number of inventory touches and miles shipped for the product. The ROI for the project is $40 million a year for NA.
• Web Order Management Administrator for North America.
• Led the design, configuration and testing on the LPI increase that was effective as of 4/1/2017.
• Implemented various small modifications that resulted in improved efficiency such as the Requested Delivery Date push table. This enabled delivery timing updates to eliminate the need to adjust customer orders. Order Management had to adjust hundreds of orders because customers lacked the ability to transmit a requested delivery date. This eliminated touches and reduced errors.
• The overweight shipment check was implemented to prevented trucks from being dispatched that were over loaded. Overweight trucks would be returned increasing transportation cost and fines.
• Developed Innowera Scripts to help with AR credits, Home Hardware display order changes and various master data updates.

A third phase was implemented in 2010 to workflow purchase requisitions through an approval process and to ultimately notify the Purchasing Department that there is an approved request ready for PO submission.
