• Create and maintain documentation: functional specs, test scripts, training materials, and SOPs.
• Provide end-user training and support for production planners, quality engineers, and shop floor personnel.
• Stay current with SAP roadmap (S/4HANA) and recommend process improvements aligned with best practices.
