ERP Project Manager and BA

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Managed ERP Implementation for large coil processor for all supply chain activities including sales, purchasing, inventory management, manufacturing, sub-contract processing, shipping, receiving, quality control, and accounting, including job costing.
• Client required extensive business process definition in order to implement new software and optimize supply chain during the ERP implementation.
• All core manufacturing processing had been performed outside of their current ERP system and most performed manually. In addition, no two plants were operating the same and so there existed no clear methodology for any of the core manufacturing processes. This required a great deal of change management with new approaches in terms of business disciplines to support supply chain optimization.
• Project included gap analysis against business requirements, defining gaps where they existed, and providing design documents to the ERP vendor as to additional required functionality to fill identified gaps.

ERP Project Manager and BA

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• This project required a complete redesign of the organization’s Confidential . The customer was a manufacturer of steel roofing and paneling for both the residential and commercial markets. The customer manufactured from coil stock and included slitting, leveling (sometimes), bending, and coating or painting. Manufactured products were made across nine plants nationally and included both make to order and discrete products.
• This entailed a great deal of coil optimization and the ability to nest work orders from different customers in order to reduce scrap and increase yield and meet customer delivery requirements. Project responsibilities included project management, business analysis for Confidential, system design, gap definition and enhancement design to fill gaps.
• Worked closely with the company’s executive management to align system functionality with Confidential goals of the company. As the make to order products included a great deal of engineering, this implementation required a very sophisticated enhancement to interface CAD drawings with sales orders which in turn fed work orders to meet customer specifications and delivery requirements.
