GENERAL

 

I am a certified SAP consultant in both the MM/IM and PP modules together with experience of LE.

I also have experience in WM, QM, SD and FI.  I have spent 20 years in the full life cycle carrying out configuration, development, testing, training, implementation and support in several companies.

These activities  covered purchasing, inventory management, and accounts payable and also doing significant work in production and warehousing.

Work extended into the technical side to include developping reports and add-ons in ABAP code but also interfaces and migrations with LSMW.

Prior to becoming a consultant I have spent many years in the manufacturing industry both as a user and managing IT departments.

This has meant my being involved in depth in different commercial areas including purchasing, production, engineering, and finance.
