About the Role:

We are seeking a highly specialised Spare Parts Planning Consultant with in-depth expertise in SAP APO SPP, S/4HANA eSPP, or SAP IBP, to lead our client’s spare parts planning in the discovery phase of their project. Your role will involve a blend of technical SAP skills and deep knowledge of spare parts planning, ideally in industries such as automotive, aviation, or aerospace. Experience with other parts planning tools, such as Servigistics, Baxter Planning, or GAIN Systems, would be a plus.


As a Spare Parts Planning Consultant, you will engage directly with senior stakeholders, guiding the client through evaluating, optimising, and transforming their spare parts planning processes.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Conduct comprehensive analyses of current spare parts planning processes, covering:
  • Inventory management, demand forecasting, demand planning, and deployment planning.
  • Parts replenishment, distribution strategies, and returns management.
  • Evaluation of performance metrics, target setting, and process efficiency.
  • Define future-state capabilities by leveraging SAP tools, such as SAP SCM/APO SPP and SAP IBP, to:
  • Optimise inventory levels, reduce stock ageing, and improve service levels.
  • Recommend enhancements to parts planning design and data models.
  • Evaluate the current SAP landscape, identifying opportunities to enhance or reimplement functionalities in alignment with business objectives.
  • Define requirements for a robust parts planning structure and conduct evaluations of alternative software solutions.
  • Ensure seamless integration of spare parts planning with other supply chain functions, including procurement, logistics, and production.
  • Contribute to the development of a Target Operating Model (TOM) and roadmap for transition.
  • Develop a transition strategy that covers the steps for moving to the future state, including change management and training plans.
  • Lead workshops and meetings with stakeholders to gather requirements, present solutions, and define future-state processes.
  • Identify and implement best practices in spare parts planning to enhance performance metrics.
  • Present findings, recommendations, and solutions to senior stakeholders, explaining the benefits and potential impacts of proposed changes.


What You’ll Bring:

  • Extensive experience in spare parts planning, with significant hands-on SAP expertise focused on spare parts and inventory management.
  • In-depth knowledge of spare parts planning processes, including:
  • Demand forecasting, forecast algorithms, and multi-echelon planning.
  • First and last time buy, obsolescence management, safety stock calculations, risk-based spares planning, and lifecycle management.
  • Proficiency in SAP tools relevant to supply chain and spare parts planning (e.g., SAP SCM/APO SPP, S/4HANA eSPP, SAP IBP), with a proven ability to configure and optimise these systems.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyse complex data to develop effective spare parts planning strategies.
  • Experience with other specialised parts planning solutions is highly desirable (e.g., Servigistics, Baxter Planning, GAIN Systems).
  • Background in industries where spare parts management is critical, such as automotive, industrial equipment, aerospace, or manufacturing.
  • Capability to work with other functional consultants to integrate spare parts planning with SAP modules.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with experience engaging with senior stakeholders and presenting technical concepts clearly.
  • Ability to work independently and take ownership of client engagements.


Please Note: This role is part of our talent pipeline for an upcoming project, and the recruitment process may extend. We encourage applications from candidates who require visa sponsorship.
