Background

About Jacob Schaefer

SAP Data expert and former data migration/governance consultant with a specialization in Material master data. I believe my strength lies in my understanding that data cleansing, transformation, and governance is the key for success in the manufacturing functional/process space due to my technical background. Experience with implementing complex cleansing, construction, and transformation of material master data and subsequent manufacturing data objects (BOMs-Master Recipes-ETC) to meet requirements needed for robust S4 HANA upgrades or new implementations. This allows for deep process transformation in areas including cost accounting, supply chain and operations planning, sales, procurement, logistics, quality and warehouse management, and environmental/regulatory requirements leading to increased business efficiency and better margins. Experience in designing and implementing governance solutions (SAP MDG, Informatica, and others) and master data run and maintain processes to ensure that data quality and associated benefits do not degrade over the product life cycle. Experience transforming master data from both SAP and non-SAP systems (multiple disparate sources including JDE or MS dynamics) into unified S4 Hana data sets with required massaging and construction to support complex implementations of EWM, PP-PI, PP/DS, and more.
