• Design shop‑floor execution interfaces (RF framework, mobile devices, custom screens) to streamline operator execution.
• Conduct deep‑dive functional workshops with plant leadership, supply chain directors, and warehouse managers to redesign physical workflows.
• Provide escalation support for critical production issues within high‑volume manufacturing environments.
• Write comprehensive functional specifications (FS) for custom enhancements (BAdIs, user exits), custom RF transactions, standard reports, and complex interfaces.
