About Kaustubh Potdar

I help manufacturing businesses streamline operations and drive efficiency through SAP S/4HANA Production Planning (PP) expertise, backed by 8+ years of consulting experience and 4.5 years in core manufacturing. As a Certified SAP PP Consultant, I specialize in end-to-end implementation, integration, and support across PP-MM, PP-SD, and PP-CO, ensuring business processes run seamlessly from demand planning to shop floor execution.My journey began on the shop floor, where I saw first-hand how system gaps slowed production. That inspired me to transition into SAP consulting, where I now design solutions that bridge operations and technology. For example, I recently resolved a complex subcontracting and MRP issue that improved material availability by 20% and cut lead times significantly for a client in the Auomotive and FMCG sector.I excel in MRP, BOMs, routings, production orders, S & OP, and demand management, with hands-on experience in PPDS, Kanban, and discrete/repetitive manufacturing flows. Beyond technical know-how, I focus on user adoption and documentation to ensure long-term process stability.I am open to global opportunities and relocation, and always eager to connect with professionals exploring SAP-led business transformation. Let’s connect and explore how I can add value to your team.
