Summary

I work as an SAP consultant with a strong focus on PP and MM, supported by many years of hands-on experience in production planning, supply chain, reporting and business processes. I know SAP ECC 6.0 very well and also bring experience with SAP S/4HANA, WM, SD, EWM, QM, FI and CO. What I contribute most is the link between process understanding, clean master data, practical user support and reporting.

I have supported rollouts and post-go-live activities, introduced GSI processes in more than 30 plants, guided key users through data cleansing, migration and UATs, and trained both management teams and users. I also build reporting with Power BI, Qlik and SAP data, define KPIs and help turn operational data into useful decisions, especially in manufacturing and rail-related environments.
