objective
The stupendous growth in technology have no doubt made life easier for human beings, but it also has to be accepted that companies in any segment mandatorily need to update themselves. For example, to keep with the pace of change, every organization has no option, but gives a new makeover to their supply chains to become information focused value chains.
When you opt for oracle-value-chain-planning, naturally the processes gets stabilised such as
- Demand signal management (bcos of Oracle Demand Signal Repository)
- Automatic changing of processes into profitability; change of revenue in higher sections
- Supply-chain-risk-management – quick response and solution to incidents and problems
- Sales/operations and integrated business planning for achieving corporate goals
- Planning and collaboration of multi-enterprises
The planning schedule can be best described as a full complete solution constructed on a common platform that makes the situation easy for integration with Oracle systems (JD Edwards Enterprise One, People soft, Siebel and Hyperion) and non-Oracle ERP/ non-legacy systems. They can be arranged in a systematic manner for saving cost and time.
The figure conveys the relationship as well as role mentioned in Value Chain Planning[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2982″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1493096802395{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]
value chain planning integration
Process Integration Packs are the pre-built integrations in the company of Oracle Applications. AIA (Application Integration Architecture) of Oracle uses the ODI (in other words, Oracle Data Integrator) for transferring and transformation of data in all the applications one by one as per the PIP.
For many of the integrations, the collection process of value-chain-planning is the primary factor needed to put together a division of EBS data necessary for all the planning purposes. It comes along with present VCP products and other ERP schemes. The below diagram displays the camaraderie present among the VCP and non-EBS systems.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2989″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1493099892614{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]
oracle value chain planning
advanced planning command center
This tool offers organizational executives/planners some of the best solutions in terms of tactical, operational and strategies with respect to supply chain management. It provides metrics of performance, access to data and perfect processes for business scenarios so that your organization can take good decisions.
Some of the benefits it offers are prebuilt dashboards, hierarchies, context-driven drill downs, performance indicators that is otherwise missing in a normal setting of spreadsheets, power point presentations and email. The dashboards can be used to analyze sales and operations and then if needed, guidelines can be sent to the relevant professionals to adhere to a perfect plan.
advanced supply chain planning
As the name indicates, planning assumes credence by this tool. A single check can be conducted in all manufacturing and distribution facilities across the globe. You can also pull reports on the sales orders, status of production, recommendation of producing new products etc. It has been seen that excel sheets and google spread sheets may remain disconnected between same branches of organization in different countries. In short, the whole supply chain network should be connected in a single phase. However, the planning has to be precise, and you can reach the top level by making a start and then slowly building the momentum.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1493100067398{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]case study
YZA is a start-up organization which manufactures new type of jib cranes. Last year, their product AZ was patented and since the crane can lift twenty percent more than its capacity, it was in demand in every segment within a short segment of time. The CEO of the company John was surprised to see orders piling from all corners of the world. Now, to sell his product, he wanted his company to have a branch in every country.
It was six months down the line and twenty five offices were opened across the globe and did brisk business. However, the demand surmounted the supply, and the manufacturing department had to work overtime. The main reason was that the supply department still used the same software and the future demands were unknown.
Mr Martin was a famous logistics expert who after retirement, joined the YZA organization. Being proficient with recent software, he had a meeting with John.
Martin : John, I am amazed as to how the schedule is getting delayed for supplying cranes. Is there a reason?
John: Yes, Martin, the main reason is customers give bulk orders at the last minute. And sometimes the staff has to work overtime.
Martin: Have you made use of the Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning tool? If you approve, I can have a meeting with the sales and supply team and let us see, what we can do.
John: Go ahead. You have my support.
Martin had found out the problem involved with the concerned people relying on only email correspondence, spreadsheets to send messages to the manufacturing department. When the data of manufacturing demand is given, it takes time from the manufacturing department to prepare a time table as per the requirement.
Now he used the prescribed software for a month. Did Magic happen?
The tool first compiled data from every sector, right from the date the clients order, the resources at the logistics department, number of manufacturing team personnel (holiday/leave were also taken in consideration), number of jib cranes that can be manufactured in a specified time, the metrics of demand from every client, planning of sales/operations, vendor statistics for raw components to manufacture etc. When all the data were complied, a set of patterns emerged.
The drawbacks were worked on – the time taken for the vendor to supply the raw material for manufacture, response letter to the client, the months demand increased etc.
Slowly every department fell in order. Since the team already knew when the demand will rise, they pre-ordered the materials from the vendors, the manufacturing team exactly knew the amount of cranes they had to manufacture. The major breakthrough was the customer care team which had a fair idea of the order they can received from a client.
Although the previous challenges had not diminished, the team was sure that they can make the mark within a year.
collaborative planning
This tool assists in making all your otherwise-trading partners, suppliers and contract vendors work in tandem. Making a foray into multi-enterprise planning, Oracle Collaborative Planning tool informs the suppliers of the changes, and they can also make suitable plans so that the demand for supply is covered in small amount of time. The performance of supply chain gets enhanced as the platform gets more transparent. All the persons involved in the chain get notifications regarding the replenishment in inventory and they can respond suitably. In short, regular interaction will halt the miscommunication and time will be saved.
In a normal environment, usually supply chain management involves a lot of time. Usually, the demand precedes the manufacture or supply. There will be less forecasting of customer demand, and in case of miscommunication the organization may see an upsurge in costs.
case study
Abraham recently joined M corporation which deals with educational videos. These video DVDs were well sought in the market, but the sales department faced challenges in rising to the demand on several occasions. Abraham, being trendy with software, recently joined as sales manager. The company was only a year old but it had captured the market in the small country of H. There were four branches of M in the entire country.
The situation is as below; There are four thousand students who study various courses and they always preferred M corporation videos. Any order for the M company came in hundreds. But the time duration given was short.
So the content department had to work overtime on some occasions to fulfil the demand.
Abraham got the approval from the bosses and made use of Oracle Collaborative Planning software to successfully make the best use of resources.
Old process – Vendors were contacted only when there was a demand. The content head will receive a mail from the sales department regarding the number and type of videos to be designed. The customer care team will be briefed about the new videos only after all the videos are prepared.
New process – The period where the sales went high was the time of examination right from March to April. Students found it easy to learn using M corporation videos.
The software found that one branch needed more number of DVDs at the examination time and it was the same location when stocks ran out soon. Established vendors and suppliers were brought in a single platform and they received notifications when the number of inventories went down in M corporation. The vendors could supply materials well in time and there were no acute shortages.
The content department could also get information on the demand of the particular study material and they can design an video.
Benefit – Even though you add vendors and suppliers to the list, this tool offers maximum security and an outsider can only view the information he/she is intended to. Every department and vendor will receive a notification when the software detects mismatches of supply and demand, fluctuations in inventory etc.
demand management
Since planning has been done based on the accurate analytics, the demand management tool from Oracle assists in making profits for the organization. In fact, the organization can see improvement in service levels/sales, satisfaction of customers and a decline in distribution costs and inventory.
The analytics (key performance indicators) give perfect information on the demand patterns and ensure all the vendors and team members are involved and accountable. It is not as if you implement the tool, can you become successful within a short duration. You may encounter challenges, failures but definitely the way will be to the top.
case study
AZ is a company which deals with advanced technology fish nets. Headquartered in the sea shore country Q, the nets are widely in demand as fifty percent of the population is involved in fish trade. The CEO of the company is Kennedy a former fisherman. His son, Sandy having finished his studies in US has come back to assist his father in business.
Sandy soon found out that the company can be made more profitable if the requirements of demand are met at the relevant time. In the time of winter, the demand for nets will rise, and when there will be more stock, the sales will be less. So the manufacturing team had decided to work overtime only when there are bulk orders and there will no large stock kept pending.
Sandy found that the demand of nets increased with an upsurge of tourists. He made use of the Demand Planning software by Oracle to put forth a data sheet that got the approval of not only his father but also the entire organization. He also set up a separate customer care unit to look for prospects beyond and get information about the tourism levels.
With the Demand Planning tool, every department can upload the data as per the hierarchy. Every department will be connected with each other, and only the relevant data for supply, demand and the entire life cycle for manufacturing of nets will be viewed in separate dashboards. By making use of this tool, the company can spot trends of differences in tourist visits, examine differences of drop in sales, and make suitable arrangements to manufacture nets only for a certain number.
global order promising
The tool has three features – Available to Promise (ATP); Capable to Promise (CTP) and Capable To Deliver (CTD). By making use of this tool, which merges supply/demand information from various systems (web stores/call centres) to bring together an accurate map of demand-and-supply, you can give promises which can build loyalty in your customers.
inventory optimization
What are the internal and external challenges a supply chain in an organization might face? They may be competitors’ good quality products, outsourcing of jobs, products get damaged easily (short life cycle) and uncertainty in demand. The inventory part may take a beating and the concerned professional will be at a loss when stocking for demand. The inventory optimization tool gives you the boost as you get accurate information on revenue, customer service levels, inventory budgets and number. Your team can then work on a perfect plan.
predictive trade planning and optimization
In any business, promotion of products is vital and if you can get clear information on the popularity of various products, it will be easy to schedule a marketing plan. This tool is based on a analytics platform which addresses on-shelf availability, profitability of customers and the organization, baseline information, on-shelf lifecycle of products and effectiveness of promotions.
production scheduling
As the name indicates, this tool gives you the freedom to regulate production as per the demand, maximize the best use of resources with respect to client requirements. The schedule of workers can be improved to meet the organization objectives. You can also make use of the Oracle E-business Suite to get immediate ROI (return on investment).
rapid planning
In the fast era of rapid changing technology, to sustain in the market, an organization has to be prepared to meet challenges out of the blue. A new large demand from a customer, that too, an emergency is one that needs to be addressed as quality plays an important role here. An emergency situation can also be a manufacturing engine breakdown or not acquiring the required materials on time. Rapid Planning of Oracle brings together all the data with editing capabilities that makes the best use of erstwhile resources to suit any requirement. In a normal level, you need to burn the midnight oil to put a proper plan to fulfil an emergency demand. The most challenging part will be to get approval from every department in the offing.
The analytical data of the rapid planning tool expressed in a spread sheet style provides accurate insights by which the skilled professionals can make the best decisions. They can be then implemented to actions to get the desired result. Additional benefit – this tool works in co-ordination with erstwhile planning and ERP environment.
real-time sales and operations planning
Your sales and operation department gets a unexpected boost as all the internal organizations as well the external vendors, trading partners are brought on a common platform to view data. By regular interaction you can make the best use of resources and determine the schedule of your workers for getting profits and meeting the objectives.
In addition, if a new product has to be manufactured, this tool can compare the description with that of the existing products; provide information on the life cycle etc. It can also give information on the pre-demand of the product among the public.
By making use of the Oracle tool, you can expand your knowledge beyond the normal boundaries. The tools can also provide information on balancing the demands, budgets, supply, cost as well as customer level issues.
service parts planning
Your marketing team handles the sales service section efficiently. They can get a shot-in-the-arm once you make use of this service parts planning tool. To sustain in the market, an after-sales call or service-in-case-of-repair is also necessary and this department is considered a burden. But you can transform this department into a profit making one as you get proper statistics of the product accuracy, and the time needed for exchange of products, the life cycle and many more.
The execution plan for implementation will be faster. Consider the same in a normal setting. The customer service representative has to give the same dubbed answers to the customer unless it is a different situation. The change, is before a product is released to the market, a set of instructions regarding the life cycle and challenges is already made known to the customer service.
strategic network optimization
This tool gives the best benefit to any organization, that is, to make the supply network more responsive. It also gives you inputs on reducing costs regarding the supply chain management, tips to enhance profits, successfully managing risks, taking charge in an untoward situation and giving the best solution.

stumbled upon this site. Reading this information So i’m satisfied to show that I have a very good uncanny feeling
I found out exactly what I needed. I such a lot indubitably will make sure to don?t overlook

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into
starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup?
I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% positive.
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Hello are using WordPress for your blog platform?
I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started
and create my own. Do you require any coding knowledge to make your own blog?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
At this time I am going away to do my breakfast, after having my breakfast
coming yet again to read more news.
Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for
something completely unique. P.S My apologies
for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Thank you for some other informative website. The place else may just I get that
type of info written in such a perfect approach?
I’ve a venture that I’m just now operating on, and I have been at the look out for
such information.

about this? suppose you were to create a awesome
headline? I ain’t saying your information is not solid, however suppose
you added something that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean How

is a little boring. You might peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they
create news titles to grab viewers to open the links.
You might add a related video or a related picture

my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.
