SAP FTP Consultant

This is a 6-month contract opportunity for an SAP Forecast-to-Produce (FTP) Consultant based in Dallas, Texas. You will work directly on a client's manufacturing operations within SAP, supporting planning, production execution, quality management, and cross-functional integration across multiple SAP modules. This is a hands-on implementation and stabilization role-not a support position-requiring direct experience designing and executing manufacturing solutions in SAP environments.

Responsibilities

• Partner with Operations, Production Planning, Engineering, Supply Chain, and BPO/GPO stakeholders to identify and resolve process gaps in MRP, production orders, and shop floor execution.
• Support process standardization, adoption, and stabilization across current SAP plants and future rollout locations.
• Analyze MRP behavior, demand signals, production order execution, staging, and completion processes to identify improvement opportunities.
• Work with cross-functional teams on SAP PP and QM configuration, enhancements, and integration points involving production order types, MRP parameters, routings, BOMs, production versions, confirmations, backflushing, inspection lots, quality notifications, and usage decisions.
• Collaborate with QTI, EWM, PTP, RTR, MDG, technical, and integration teams to ensure complete end-to-end process design.
• Challenge recommendations that create unnecessary customization, operational risk, or long-term support complexity.
• Conduct root cause analysis for recurring planning, production execution, and quality-related issues and support stabilization initiatives.
• Work to improve planning accuracy, shop floor transaction discipline, WIP visibility, staged inventory management, cycle counts, component consumption, inspection execution, and nonconformance handling.
• Help develop roadmaps for short-term fixes, medium-term process improvements, and future-state capabilities.
• Ensure FTP configuration documents, process flows, functional and technical specifications, test scripts, and training materials remain accurate and current.
• Support testing for releases, fixes, enhancements, and plant rollouts.

Qualifications

• Required

• 7+ years of SAP PP, QM, or manufacturing functional experience.

• Hands-on, direct implementation experience with production orders, MRP, BOMs, routings, work centers, confirmations, manufacturing execution, and SAP QM processes such as inspection lots, quality notifications, and usage decisions.

• Ability to articulate your specific role and contributions in past implementation projects.

• Experience supporting complex manufacturing environments.

• Ability to troubleshoot production and planning issues across master data, configuration, transactions, and integrations.

• Strong communication skills, including ability to speak clearly with business stakeholders and articulate operational needs in cross-functional meetings.

• Preferred

• SAP S/4HANA manufacturing experience in Discrete Manufacturing.

• Experience with configure-to-order, engineer-to-order, variant configuration, or project-based manufacturing.

• Experience with EWM staging, SAP QM integration, shop floor mobility, MES, Teamcenter/PLM integration, or advanced planning tools.

• SAP certification in PP, Manufacturing, or S/4HANA Production Planning.

• HVAC industry experience.
