  • Capability Building: Coach data end users, promote standard work, and act as a center of excellence for ERP data best practices.

  • Visualization and Reporting: Develop dashboards and reports using Power BI (recommended) to present data insights and trends to stakeholders.

  • Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including manufacturing, supply chain, MSAT and IT, to address data-related challenges and ensure seamless integration with OMP systems.
