About Engin

I am a supply chain consultant with nearly two decades of international experience across semiconductor and medical device manufacturing environments. My background covers demand planning, capacity alignment and logistics coordination in complex, high-variability production landscapes, with hands-on exposure to JIT, Kanban and MRP-based operations.
In my current role, I have been supporting SAP S/4HANA transformation initiatives in a business-facing role. I work at the interface between business and IT, helping organisations navigate critical transition phases by validating business processes, data and system behaviour from an operational perspective. My focus is on testing, cutover, dress rehearsal, go-live and hypercare, ensuring that SAP-supported processes are usable, stable and fit for day-to-day execution rather than on system configuration or technical design.
I bring strong experience in ERP environments (SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC) and planning systems (Blue Yonder), combined with a pragmatic, data-driven mindset. My strength lies in translating between business needs and system realities, supporting users during change and stabilising operations during complex transformation projects.
