Support SAP Digital Manufacturing configuration, development coordination, testing, documentation, and defect resolution from the offshore team.

Top 4 Job Requirements For This Role

• Hands-on SAP Digital Manufacturing delivery — master-data and order integration with S/4HANA, POD design and plugin configuration, data collection and non-conformance handling.
• SFC lifecycle and SFC-to-batch design — creation, split, merge and completion, with one-to-one batch mapping to S/4HANA. This is central to the role.
• Batch, lot and cavity-level traceability — characteristic capture and re-derivation on split, lot merge and repack rules, and resistance to rebuilding legacy lot numbering. Required — see highlighted section below.
• Machine and factory-automation connectivity — SAP Production Connector, OPC UA, edge resilience during outages, and gateway approaches for non-standard protocols such as CC-Link.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead manufacturing execution validation workshops across four plants and two divisions; produce signed-off functional design for the execution layer. Configure SAP DM master data: material, BOM, routing, work center and operation synchronization from S/4HANA via the Data Replication Framework; operations, data collection groups and parameters, NC codes and groups, resources and storage locations — adopting standard routing as the preferred pattern. Design order transfer and release from S/4HANA into SAP DM and the confirmation, yield, scrap and goods-movement flow back to the ERP, plus real-time inventory and component-consumption synchronization. Design the SFC model end to end: creation on order release, parent and child SFC structures across operations, splitting by lot size and down to cavity level, and the one-to-one SFC-to-batch relationship reported to S/4HANA. Design the Production Operator Dashboard per work-center type — molding, stamping, forming, welding, assembly, inspection, packing — with plugin configuration and the usability required for gloved, high-volume, multi-shift operation. Design paperless in-process and first-piece quality capture posting back to S/4HANA QM inspection lots, plus non-conformance, hold, rework, repair and return-to-previous-operation flows. Design machine and FA connectivity using SAP Production Connector, OPC UA and edge capabilities — including the gateway approach for non-standard protocols such as CC-Link — with offline resilience during outages, automated data collection from machines and inspection equipment, operator qualification and line-clearance gates, and OEE data capture feeding the analytics layer.

BATCH MANAGEMENT & TRACEABILITY EXPERIENCE — REQUIRED

Hands-on Batch Management and end-to-end traceability experience is a mandatory requirement for this role. Batch, lot and cavity-level traceability sits at the center of this program; candidates without demonstrable hands‑on experience in the following will not be shortlisted: The SFC-to-batch model in full: how SAP DM creates the shop floor control number on order release, how SFCs split across operations, and how each terminal SFC maps one-to-one to a batch in S/4HANA — letting individual lots run simultaneously on different machines while preserving batch-level traceability. Capturing batch characteristics against each SFC and copying or re‑deriving them every time an SFC is split, including the enhancement programs that update collected data on split. Cavity-level traceability: splitting a daily machine/mold lot into sub‑lots by lot size and then into individual cavities, carrying active cavity count and cavity identity through inspection and packing so a defect isolates to a specific cavity. Lot merging and combination rules — combining partial quantities from different production orders into one pack without loss of lot detail, splitting them again as combined, and unpack, repack and re‑emboss cycles. Hold, rework, repair and scrap flows at lot level, including returning a lot to a previous or original operation and reporting remaining quantity as yield to S/4HANA. Lot numbering: date-, machine-, mold- and cavity-encoded structures, dynamic user allocation, handling of long (up to 40‑digit) lot numbers through splits, and the judgment to test bespoke legacy formats hard against standard SAP number assignment before agreeing to rebuild them.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years manufacturing execution / MES consulting with 2+ full-lifecycle SAP Digital Manufacturing implementations in a lead functional capacity. SAP ME/MII experience with a demonstrated transition to SAP DM will be considered.
• Deep hands‑on SAP DM configuration: master-data and order integration with S/4HANA, POD design and plugin configuration, data collection, non-conformance handling and the DM–S/4HANA integration model.
• Demonstrable hands‑on design of the SFC lifecycle — creation, split, merge, assembly, completion — and its mapping to S/4HANA batches. This is central to the role.
• Machine connectivity using SAP Production Connector, OPC UA and edge/plant-connectivity components, including working with plant automation teams on PLC signals and tag mapping.
• Integrating non-standard or legacy shop‑floor protocols via middleware, gateway or file‑based patterns; designing OEE data capture and the data quality it depends on.
• Solid functional understanding of S/4HANA PP, QM and IM, sufficient to design a coherent execution layer on top of them.
• Delivering paperless execution to operators, including POD usability design and shop‑floor change management — and willingness to be on the floor across shifts during go‑live and hypercare.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bilingual English/Japanese (business level) — this role has the highest day‑to‑day contact with Japanese‑speaking shop‑floor personnel on the program; prior delivery in Japan.
• Injection molding, stamping, electronics assembly or similar high-volume discrete manufacturing with cavity‑ or position-level traceability.
• Replacing a bespoke legacy shop‑floor / lot‑tracking system with standard SAP, including the change management that requires.
• SAP DM embedded analytics, Resource Orchestration or Insights.
• SAP BTP, Integration Suite and clean‑core extension patterns for DM; camera/vision inspection integration and automated result‑file ingestion.
• SAP certification in SAP Digital Manufacturing.

Language Requirement — Bilingual English/Japanese Preferred, Not Required

Fluent professional English is required for design documentation, deliverables and steering‑committee communication. Business‑level Japanese is a strong advantage — many process owners, shop‑floor personnel and legacy‑system custodians work primarily in Japanese, and much current‑state documentation exists only in Japanese — but it is not a condition of appointment. Interpretation support, bilingual design documentation and pairing with bilingual business analysts are provided, and strong candidates will be considered regardless of Japanese‑language ability.

Engagement Details

Full‑time consulting assignment across the Explore, Realize and Deploy phases. Hybrid delivery with periodic on‑site presence at the Japan sites during validation workshops, integration testing, cutover and hypercare. Reports to the workstream lead, working alongside client SMEs, client IT and the corporate global SAP template and clean‑core governance teams.
