Suneeshkumar Vr

Program Director with 20+ years leading SAP S/4HANA aATP and order-fulfillment transformations across global, multi-plant, multi-echelon supply networks (S/4HANA releases 1610 through 2023). Deep hands-on command of the full aATP suite — Product Allocation (PAL), Backorder Processing (BOP), Alternative-Based Confirmation (ABC), Supply Assignment (ARun), Supply-Based Confirmation (SBC), Rules-Based and Multilevel ATP — with strong GATP-to-aATP transition experience. Currently leading the aATP / order-fulfillment workstream of Becton Dickinson's $50M SAP S/4HANA transformation — directing onshore and offshore teams across the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific, and owning solution design, delivery governance, and stakeholder alignment.

Drive real-time order promising and service-level-differentiated fulfillment across global distribution networks, integrated with SAP IBP and ePPDS for supply-demand balancing, with allocation strategies for constrained supply across multiple plants and warehouses. Deliver program governance against KPI frameworks — Order Fill Rate, OTIF (On-Time-In-Full), backorder reduction, and inventory-turns improvement — with SteerCo reporting, RAID and risk mitigation, and executive steering up to CIO and VP Supply Chain level. Lead and mentor multi-stream aATP and integration teams, manage third-party SI delivery against SLA and quality gates, and serve as trusted CxO advisor driving inventory optimization, working-capital reduction, and service-level improvement.

SAP S/4HANA aATP SCM Lead - Becton Dickinson

(2024-08)

Architected global order-fulfillment solutions using SAP S/4HANA Advanced Available-to-Promise (aATP), enabling reliable order confirmation across multi-plant manufacturing and distribution networks.

• Designed Supply-Based Confirmation (SBC) architecture where ATP confirmations dynamically consume supply signals generated from ePPDS production planning runs, ensuring tight alignment between production schedules and customer order commitments.
• Defined ATP strategies leveraging planned production orders, planned orders, and projected inventory generated through ePPDS planning cycles, enabling confirmation of future supply during constrained manufacturing scenarios.
• Established integration architecture between ePPDS and aATP, enabling planning outputs from production scheduling to serve as supply sources for order confirmation.
• Designed ABC Based ATP frameworks supporting differentiated confirmation logic across plants, products, customer segments, and regional fulfillment policies.
• Architected Product Allocation (PAL) models to control distribution of constrained supply across strategic markets, key accounts, and priority fulfillment channels.
• Defined Backorder Processing (BOP) strategies enabling dynamic re-prioritization of open customer orders based on changing demand signals and supply availability.
• Implemented Alternative-Based Confirmation (ABC) frameworks enabling intelligent substitution of plants, materials, and delivery dates during supply disruptions.
• Designed end-to-end planning-to-fulfillment architecture integrating SCM Demand Planning, Kinaxis Supply Planning, ePPDS Production Scheduling, aATP Order Confirmation, and SAP SD Order Processing.
• Led architecture and implementation of SAP Advanced Variant Configuration (AVC) supporting complex engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturing scenarios requiring dynamic product configurations.
• Designed advanced configuration models with dependency logic enabling accurate generation of customer-specific product variants aligned with engineering constraints.
• Architected integration between SAP AVC, CAD, and PLM platforms, ensuring seamless synchronization between engineering design structures and manufacturing configuration models.

SAP S/4HANA aATP Solution Lead - Boeing

(2022-02 - 2024-08)

• Architected characteristics-based ATP framework extending standard SAP aATP to support confirmation based on engineering specifications and batch attributes.
• Designed and implemented multi-level ATP confirmation logic leveraging product and batch characteristics, determining supply availability at a granular attribute level for highly configurable, specification-driven manufacturing.
• Led solution architecture and requirements analysis for transformation of legacy order fulfillment and product configuration systems to SAP S/4HANA, establishing the baseline for advanced order promising and ETO manufacturing.
• Designed attribute-driven supply matching logic allowing order confirmations based on configurable aircraft component characteristics.
• Implemented multi-level Product Allocation (PAL) strategies to distribute constrained aerospace components across manufacturing programs and global assembly plants.
• Defined planning-driven order confirmation architecture where supply signals from ePPDS production planning runs serve as the supply source for aATP Supply-Based Confirmation (SBC) logic.
• Designed integration enabling production planning heuristics and scheduling outputs from ePPDS to dynamically determine ATP confirmation dates for customer orders.
• Architected real-time order promising frameworks ensuring production schedules, resource constraints, and inventory availability are reflected in order confirmations during sales order processing.
• Provided architectural leadership for SAP Variant Configuration (VC) and Advanced Variant Configuration (AVC) supporting Engineer-to-Order (ETO) manufacturing scenarios.
• Mentored functional consultants and junior architects on aATP configuration, BAdI/user-exit development patterns, and S/4HANA integration best practices; contributed to internal delivery methodology and reusable accelerators for characteristics-based ATP and multi-level product allocation.
• aRun (Supply Assignment) allocation for batch-based custom ATP solutions.
• Custom search strategy and ATP check logic for make-to-stock versus trading scenarios.
• Custom functional module to validate external / web-portal availability for order confirmation.
• Custom warehouse-path determination by plant and storage location, and minimum-order-quantity planning solution.
