The Brief

What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.

How can PumpTech optimize its SAP SD processes to reduce order-to-delivery cycle time by 30% using standard configuration?

This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.

When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."

Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate

Analyze and redesign sales and distribution processes in SAP S/4HANA
Configure key SD elements (pricing, output, delivery scheduling) using standard settings
Apply process improvement methodologies (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma) to ERP context
Define and measure KPIs to quantify process improvements

Canonical roles

Process Analyst
Most organizational pain is process pain in disguise. A process analyst is the person who maps how work actually flows — the handoffs, the rework loops, the steps that exist only because someone left three years ago — and proposes changes that stick. The role uses tools like BPMN 2.0 and frameworks like ADKAR, but the real craft is interviewing the people doing the work without making them defensive. Students grow into this through coursework in operations, systems thinking, and early exposure to messy real-world processes. Good process analysts pair root-cause discipline with diplomatic instincts, and write documentation clear enough that the next analyst, two years from now, can pick up where they left off.
