Because it’s the best-run businesses that make the world run better and improve people’s lives.

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

The main purpose of our global team is the development of the SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain product (IBP). Our objective is to continue innovating in the Supply Chain space, so IBP maintains its market leadership as Best of Suite and the individual products that we develop as Best of Breed. In the Pittsburgh Supply Chain Management Team, we design and build solutions to address topics like Inventory Optimization (IBP for Inventory), Demand Sensing (IBP for Demand) and DDR (IBP for Demand Driven Replenishment).

As a Developer in the Supply Chain Algorithm Library team (SCAL), you will be working on a multidisciplinary SCRUM team interacting with other SCAL developers, with Operation Research Scientists and with other Application SCRUM teams on building the Supply Chain algorithms that are used in IBP. These algorithms are developed as extensions to SAP HANA database in the form of an Application Function Library (AFL).
