Sr Materials Mgmt Analyst
Honeywell · India
We are seeking a Business Analyst to lead end-to-end analysis and cross-functional integration of material master processes across BA ISC. Reporting to the Director of Operational Excellence, this role will create transparency and accountability across all material master touch points; establish and maintain a clear RACI; Govern service-level expectations; and clarify the inputs, handoffs, decision rights, and dependencies required from each function. The analyst will partner closely with the Process Mining Specialist to identify bottlenecks, simplify the current state, and translate insights into scalable improvements that advance BA ISC’s SAP S/4HANA transformation journey.
Key Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end business analysis for material creation, extension, and change processes across BA ISC, including upstream requests, approvals, execution, validation, and downstream use.
- Document current-state processes through value-stream maps, swim lanes, standard work, business rules, handoffs, dependencies, controls, and exception paths in partnership with the process mining analyst.
- Develop, secure stakeholder agreement on, and maintain a clear RACI that assigns one accountable owner for each process activity, decision, control, and escalation.
- Define and manage the SLA framework, including start and stop points, functional inputs, targets, measurement logic, service performance, escalation thresholds, and corrective-action routines.
- Clarify cross-functional data and process inputs required from Engineering, Product Management, Supply Chain, Procurement, Planning, Manufacturing, Sales, Finance, IT, and Master Data Management.
- Facilitate workshops and governance forums that resolve ownership gaps, align priorities, document decisions, and convert issues into accountable actions with owners and due dates.
- Partner with the Process Mining Specialist to establish event-log requirements, validate process variants, identify rework and bottlenecks, quantify cycle-time loss, and prioritize improvement opportunities.
- Translate findings into future-state processes, business requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, control requirements, and an executable transformation roadmap.
- Challenge unnecessary approvals, duplicate inputs, manual touchpoints, regional variation, and non-value-added complexity before recommending automation.
- Support SAP S/4HANA fit-to-standard activities by assessing process and data impacts, documenting gaps and decisions, and ensuring redesigned workflows align with enterprise standards and governance.
- Develop KPI and SLA dashboards, performance narratives, root-cause analyses, and leadership-ready recommendations that enable fact-based decisions.
- Coordinate pilots, user acceptance testing, change readiness, training inputs, implementation, and benefits tracking for approved improvements.
- Maintain process documentation, decision logs, risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies, and governance artifacts as controlled and current records.
