Job description

Top Three Skills Required
1. SAP – MES Integration

2. MES – Werum (Korber) Upgrade

3. Soft Communication and Stakeholder management skills

The SAP S/4– MES Liaison serves as the primary bridge between enterprise ERP (SAP S/4) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), ensuring alignment of testing schedule and data, with escalation of issues found.
This role will also assess each MES upgrade release from the MES vendor for assessment and upgrade readiness. Each release will require an executive summary and recommendation from the Upgrade lead to MES Leadership.

● Lead structured MES upgrade assessments including:
○ Current-state MES capability and configuration review
○ Interface/integration inventory and criticality scoring
○ Performance, scalability, and availability assessment
● Develop upgrade options and recommendations (e.g., in-place vs. migration, phased rollout vs. big-bang), including pros/cons, risks, dependencies, and cost/effort estimates.
● Produce a comprehensive MES Upgrade Assessment Report and roadmap aligned with SAP S/4HANA milestones.

● Act as the day-to-day liaison for testing sche3dul4e and data creation for SAP S/4HANA program teams.
● Facilitate the end-to-end process view across SAP and MES (e.g., production orders, confirmations, backflush, material staging, labor reporting, scrap/rework, genealogy/traceability, quality results, batch/serial management).
● Translate manufacturing requirements into SAP/MES functional specifications and integration requirements.
● Partner with solution architects to define integration patterns (e.g., APIs, IDocs, middleware/eventing) and ensure reliable, auditable data flows.
● Drive master data alignment and governance across SAP and MES (materials, BOMs, routings/recipes, work centers/resources, production versions, serial/batch rules).
● Manage integrated workplans across SAP, MES, and middleware teams; track RAID (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies).
● Plan and execute testing strategy spanning SAP and MES:
● SIT/E2E scenarios, regression, performance testing
● Data reconciliation and interface validation
● Shop-floor pilot testing and production readiness
● Support cutover planning, including downtime analysis, fallback strategies, and shop-floor continuity planning.
