SUMMARY
Extensive experience in implementing SAP PLM EHS (Environmental Health and Safety), EHSM and RM/RD (Recipe Management (old)/Recipe Development (new, re-written WebDynpro based)) in diverse industries from food, pharmaceuticals, CPG to chemicals, oil and aerospace. Migration to SAP S/4HANA
Engineering Change Management (ECM), using Web UI based Engineering Record with integrated Status Network and Workflows (Process Routes).
Had custom ABAP program developed to enable ‘auto-generation’ and loading of EHS Specifications into SAP. This approach enables programmatic loading of raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods specifications. At go-live, a large number of SAP EHS specifications can be uploaded programmatically. The program enables data modifications to specifications already loaded.
Partnered with the 3E company for ‘real-time’ loading of regulatory data directly to SAP systems

This project was a complete food industry project that entailed a supply-chain for the fast-food industry that includes actual ‘growing of chickens’ based on demand.
The SAP EHS specifications, from raw ingredients to finished goods specifications, including packaging specifications, were part of the overall design that utilized the web-enabled RD system.
The formulations for chicken products implemented using Recipe Development as part of the R&D organization.
Developed programs for ‘auto-generation’ of raw materials to semi-finished and finished goods specifications to SAP system, based on mapping of information in MS Excel sheets in a specific format.
The productivity gains were extensive as a large number of specifications were uploaded to SAP PLM in a matter of minutes.
