Project Description	The Manufacturing Systems Analyst maintains the production data that drives made-to-order operation: bills of materials, routings, production orders, and the configuration rules that turn customer orders into factory-ready instructions. This role keeps the ERP system accurate day to day, resolves production order issues quickly, and serves as a key business resource in the migration from Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 to Dynamics 365. The analyst works closely with engineering, production, planning, and item maintenance to make sure what the system says matches what the factory builds. First 90 days: Independently resolve routine production order and BOM issues; document core BOM and routing processes. First year: Reduce recurring data errors; serve as a trusted business resource through Dynamics 365 testing and go-live
Duties/Day to Day Overview	Daily ERP Operations Create, maintain, and correct bills of materials and routings for new and existing products. Monitor production orders and resolve issues that block release, picking, or completion (missing components, incorrect routings, configuration errors). Investigate and correct data discrepancies between the ERP system and actual shop floor practice. Support new product introductions by building and validating BOM and routing data before launch. Partner with item maintenance on product configuration and setup for configured products. Respond to production, planning, and warehouse questions about system data and order status. ERP Migration (Dynamics AX 2009 to Dynamics 365) Serve as a business subject matter resource for BOM, routing, and production order processes. Document current-state processes, data structures, and business rules. Cleanse and validate BOM, routing, and item data for migration. Participate in sprint reviews, conference room pilots, and day-in-the-life testing. Write and execute test scenarios; identify gaps between system behavior and business needs. Support cutover, go-live, and post-launch stabilization. After go-live, own manufacturing master data quality in Dynamics 365. Continuous Improvement Identify recurring data errors and their root causes; implement fixes that prevent recurrence. Develop reports and simple tools that give production and engineering better visibility. Maintain clear documentation of data standards and procedures.
Top Requirements (Must haves)	3+ years working with ERP manufacturing data (BOMs, routings, production or work orders) in a manufacturing environment. Strong working knowledge of at least one ERP system; Microsoft Dynamics experience strongly preferred. Advanced Excel skills (lookups, pivot tables, data cleanup and validation). Strong attention to detail and the ability to trace a problem from symptom to root cause. Clear communicator who can work with engineers, production leads, and system specialists.
Nice to Haves	Experience with Microsoft Dynamics AX or Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. Experience with product configurators or configure-to-order manufacturing. Experience participating in an ERP implementation or migration. SQL or reporting tool experience (Power BI, SSRS). Background in production planning, MRP, cost accounting, or manufacturing engineering. Degree in industrial engineering, supply chain, business systems, or related field, or equivalent experience.
