Mid-Atlantic Dist. Mid Atlantic District Meeting October
21st and 22nd Location: Pittsburgh, PA Hotel: Double Tree Hosted by: Pittsburgh Chapter ****** *NEW* Positions Available Mention APICS Apple Valley Chapter When Applying! Posted 10-5-11 SAP Business
Analyst (PP or MES) The Company: The Schaeffler
Group is a growing, technically innovative developer and manufacturer of high-precision
products for many of the world’s leading companies throughout the automotive,
aerospace and industrial sectors. With
over 180 facilities throughout 50 countries, this international, highly
diversified organization is growing throughout North America and a result, is
currently seeking to identify an experienced SAP Business Analyst to serve in
either a Production Planning (PP) or Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
role within one of their North American locations. The
Opportunity: Are you somewhat bored by
working in environments that are focused on SAP redesigns, consolidations and
upgrades? This position will enable you to play a key
role in a full cycle SAP implementation from beginning to end. It is an energized assignment where you can
apply your creativity, experience and intellect within a highly diversified,
growing organization. Are you seeking a more familiar,
stable environment, with reduced travel, so you can spend more time at home
with your significant other, kids, friends or on activities you enjoy? This position will provide an analyst with
the ability to be involved in several aspects of production planning, while
having closer contact with various business groups than would be realized
within a large, mature SAP client or consulting firm, where short (1-3
months) specialized projects are the norm, extended client interaction is
limited and travel is lengthy. Are you looking for future
leadership opportunities? Growth
prospects abound within the North American Group and a 50% increase in
revenues is expected over the next 3-5 years.
As a result, the potential for a talented analyst to move into a
position of functional leadership is prevalent. The
Position: The position will serve
as the point of contact for the business organization in order to support the
SAP PP module (Production Planning) or MES (Manufacturing Execution System)
applications. This role is accountable for providing hands-on day-to-day
support to the business as needed, including gathering business requirements
from internal customers and implementing them into the system. The role
develops best business practice knowledge and supports the business in
integrating this into the SAP solution.
Approximately 50% of the business analyst’s time will be spent on the
SAP rollout implementation, 20% supporting existing issues and 30% on
training and optimization projects throughout the region. Qualifications
Required: A minimum of 5
years of SAP PP or MES implementation experience within the manufacturing
sector. Qualified candidates will have
2 full cycle SAP implementations, where individuals have gone from the
business blueprinting process all the way through implementation. Alternatively, a candidate with multiple
major roll out projects stretching from 6-12 months in a country or region
where SAP had previously been implemented would be of interest. A BS/BA degree or equivalent functional
experience is required. Candidating
Procedure: Lordstone Research provides
cost effective, candidate sourcing services to progressive HR and Talent
Acquisitions Departments throughout the world. The Schaeffler
Group has retained the services of Lordstone to
locate, assess and interview prospective candidates. To be considered for this opportunity,
please forward a resume and cover letter, explaining you interest and
qualifications, to: Jeff Ketchum or Kim Hawley Research Managers Tel. (239) 344 9514 Email: corp@lordstone.us Production
