Job Description

In the ceramic tiles industry, a Quality Management profile focuses on ensuring products meet aesthetic, functional, and regulatory standards.

In the ceramic tile industry, an SAP Quality Management (QM) professional ensures that rigorous aesthetic and technical standards--such as color shade (tonality), caliber (sizing), and mechanical strength--are systematically maintained across the production lifecycle.

Job Summary

The SAP QM Specialist for Ceramic Industries is responsible for the end-to-end configuration and support of quality processes, from raw material procurement (clays, glazes) to finished goods dispatch. This role bridges the gap between lab-floor technical requirements and SAP S/4HANA business processes to minimize scrap and ensure batch consistency.
