Principal It Analyst - Advanced Planning Systems (aps) & Siop

Honeywell Honeywell · Industrial · Houston, TX +1

This role is for a Principal IT Analyst focused on Advanced Planning Systems (APS) and Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning (SIOP) at Honeywell. The primary responsibilities include setting strategic direction, overseeing system optimization, ensuring integration with other enterprise systems like SAP and MES, and managing end-to-end delivery of planning initiatives. The role involves leadership, people management, and driving best practices in change management and testing. While the role mentions familiarity with AI/ML-enabled planning as a nice-to-have, the core focus is on traditional enterprise planning systems and their integration.

  1. Set the strategic vision and roadmap for the Advanced Planning System (APS) landscape, ensuring alignment with business objectives and Honeywell’s technology standards.
  2. Oversee analysis, design, configuration, and optimization of planning processes (demand planning, supply planning, rough-cut capacity, detailed scheduling, inventory optimization, and SIOP cadence).
  3. Ensure strong integration between planning systems, SAP ERP (S/4HANA or ECC, specifically the PP/DS module), manufacturing execution system (MES), and analytics platforms.
  4. Establish and govern the SIOP technology solution with business stakeholders—standard calendars, inputs/outputs, data readiness, and decision forums.
  5. Own end-to-end delivery for APS initiatives including scope, timeline, resources, budget, vendor management, and risk mitigation.
