Project Description

JDE R&D business is taking steps in its digitization journey with a diverse portfolio of projects. One of the main contributors to the digitization roadmap is U-Turn Data Credibility Project, which entails further enhancement of the PLM application (Hamilton Grant) with a focus on

• Improving data credibility
• Improving user adoption
• Implementing design enhancements
  

Hamilton Grant PLM application has been implemented at JDE in October 2021 with company-wide use. Robustness of specification data in Hamilton Grant becomes increasingly important as it is required by other systems and projects (e.g. ESG reporting, calculation of recyclability tax). In this phase of the U-Turn Program, we will improve the data credibility in Hamilton Grant by improving the data creation process and making sure the data is accurate at the point of input. Furthermore, the current data in the system will be cleansed with an action plan to measure progress and improvement. A data governance process will be put in place to ensure that data remains credible at the source. Also some design enhancements (e.g. additional spec fields, specification audit trail) will enable more accurate data and more efficient processes.

The project is run in a hybrid way, combining certain waterfall components in agile methodology, together with vendor Hamilton Grant.

Role Description – Data Specialist

We are looking for somebody who can give oversight of the current data in the system (preferentially using Power-BI dashboards) and helping with increasing the data completeness/credibility. We are developing KPI’s and making clear goals of where we are and where we want to be. Next to this, we are working on refreshing/embedding the business process in the organization. This will be led by a project/change manager. The data specialist will advise and support this activity.

We are seeking a talented data specialist, in this role you will be responsible for collecting and verifying data (heavily supported by R&D), making clear overviews with dashboards and executing data transfers into the spec system (supported by the software developer). You will also be required to train employees on process data procedures. To be successful as a data specialist, you should have a good eye for detail, and maintain the overview.
