3. Define business requirements for the Scheduling/Production Planning stream, collaborate with functional teams and SI/BI partners to translate these into the template build, and support testing and issue resolution.
4. Align end-to-end across ERP programs for Scheduling/Production Planning, work with Process SMEs to identify and resolve issues, and collaborate with the Smart Manufacturing group to ensure process consistency across systems like OMP Scheduling.
5. Support the development of education, training materials, and change management activities.
