• Manufacturing process enablement: Support integrated processes such as order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, plan-to-produce, inventory management, cost accounting, record-to-report, and quality management.
• Shop-floor systems ownership and integration: Support the functional operation and lifecycle of manufacturing execution systems (MES), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), human-machine interface (HMI), machine connectivity, data collection, labeling, quality, and other plant-floor applications. Partner with Operations, Engineering, Operational Technology, Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, and vendors to integrate these systems with Oracle EBS and related platforms; define transactional and master-data flows; monitor interfaces; reconcile production, material, labor, quality, and equipment data; troubleshoot disruptions; and coordinate testing, upgrades, deployments, and site standardization with minimal production impact.
• Integrations: Analyze and support interfaces between Oracle EBS and manufacturing, warehouse, logistics, banking, customer, supplier, and other enterprise platforms. Coordinate monitoring, error resolution, data reconciliation, and enhancement requirements.
• Reporting and analytics: Develop and support operational and management reporting using approved tools such as Oracle BI Publisher, Oracle Reports, SQL-based data extracts, data warehouses, and business intelligence platforms.

• Operational support: Manage incidents, service requests, problems, and minor enhancements in line with service levels. Communicate impact, workarounds, progress, and resolution to stakeholders.
• Continuous improvement: Identify opportunities to simplify processes, standardize practices across sites, reduce manual work, strengthen controls, and improve system adoption and business performance.
• Knowledge management: Maintain process, configuration, support, and training documentation; contribute to knowledge articles; and provide effective knowledge transfer to users and support teams.
