Advanced Planning Command Center (APCC)

Do you have easy access to critical

supply chain performance

metrics?

Do you have real-time access to the data that

drives your detailed planning applications?

Do you need a systemic process for simulating alternative business

scenarios to make better supply chain decisions?


Oracle Advanced Planning Command Center provides decision makers with a comprehensive solution that delivers powerful analysis of operational, tactical, and

strategic supply chain plans, robust scenario modeling and management, and automated business process execution capabilities.

As a key decision maker, you can quickly compare

alternative business scenarios, define how they will be

executed, and determine what trade-offs need to be made to

meet your business goals. .

Oracle Advanced Planning Command Center's unique offering of prebuilt dashboards, reports, performance indicators, facts, hierarchies, alerts,

and context-sensitive drill downs provide the decision support tools that you need to increase the value in your

supply chain without the need to master complex tools and processes.


• Key decision makers often rely on spreadsheets, e-mail, and simplified presentations to executives or to monitor the health of their supply chain. Typically, this information is stale due to the time it takes to extract and transform detailed planning data into actionable metrics. Oracle Advanced Planning Command Center solves this problem by providing robust scenario management, out-of-the-box analytics, and process automation capabilities that enable you to streamline your planning processes.

Make Supply Chain Decisions Based on Real-time Business Insight

• To make the best supply chain decisions, you often need to compare alternative business strategies. With Oracle Advanced Planning Command Center, you can easily define scenarios that represent these alternatives. You can assign tasks that trigger collaboration between the various stakeholders executing the elements of a scenario such as creating a consensus forecast and running supply plans. You can attach related documents that provide background information or illustrate why or how a task needs to be executed. Once scenario tasks are completed, you can analyze the results as supply chain metrics linked to demand and supply plan data in a uniform and consistent format.

Business Scenario Planning for Key Decision Makers


• When performing root-cause analysis on supply chain planning problems, you need to be able to translate very detailed planning information into performance metrics that quickly illustrate the impact specific business scenarios. Oracle Advanced Planning Command Center enables you to analyze high level demand and supply trends and metrics, and to drill down in any area to analyze root-cause of problems via the prebuilt dashboards and reports. You can also seamlessly drill-down to the powerful planning workbenches to simulate possible solutions or take actions, in context of the problem that you are trying to solve.

Seamlessly Move Between Analytics and Planning

• Oracle Advanced Planning Command Center obtains supply chain planning data from complementary demand planning, inventory optimization, sales and operations planning, network design, and supply planning applications via web services. This web services-based approach enables Oracle Advanced Planning Command Center to support operational improvements in a wide variety of functional areas through integration with other applications—even in highly heterogeneous application environments.

Leverage Process Automation to Structure Execution of Your Scenarios


•Oracle Advanced Planning Command Center provides comprehensive prebuilt dashboards that enable you to analyze sales and operations planning performance and the health of your supply plan. The dashboards can be quickly configured for the various analyst roles in your organization and extended to show information from external non-planning data sources.

•The Sales and Operations Planning dashboard supports a 360 degree review of demand, supply, and enables you to analyze executive level information such as revenue, inventory turns, profit and loss, and cost trends for the plans that you execute. You can also compare your baseline to multiple alternative scenarios at various levels, such as organization, product category, sales channel, supplier, customer, and project.

•The Supply Chain Analyst dashboard enables you to quickly assess trends in demand and supply, exceptions, resource over- and under-utilization, inventory, and production.

Prebuilt dashboards for sales and operations planning and supply chain analysis

•Oracle Advanced Planning Command Center provides a comprehensive library of performance metrics and reports across many seeded dimensions and hierarchies. For example, you can analyze demand satisfaction through metrics like late demand ratio, perfect order index, fill rate, service level, unmet demand, and sales quantity; you can analyze inventory performance through metrics like inventory turns, carrying cost, projected available balance in days of cover and amount, stock-outs, safety stock, total supply and demand; you can analyze supply chain financial performance through metrics like profit, margin, revenue, and cost (purchasing, transportation, and manufacturing). Leveraging the industrial strength and configurability of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Plus (OBIEE), you can easily create new reports that are based on any of the seeded reports

•Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning enables you to run holistic plans that span long term aggregate planning to short term detailed schedules, multiple manufacturing processes (lot based, process, discrete, configure-to-order, and project based), and all organizations across a virtual supply chain. As a single solution for distribution, supply chain, and manufacturing planning, it is based on one supply chain model, one planning engine, and one setup. Its flexible configuration, however, enables you to define different models that can co-exist (hub-and-spoke planning; single plan) and evolve as your organization grows without requiring reimplementation. Extensive defaulting logic, paired with a productivity enhancing UI and strong exception management, enables planners to quickly use the tool to make their planning decisions.

Reduce Planning Cycle Time - Holistic Supply and Distribution Planning

•Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning offers comprehensive support for companies that focus more on solving distribution and replenishment problems. Distribution planners can leverage a comprehensive Distribution Planner Workbench that presents global visibility of material positions, automates allocations and redistribution between regional and central distribution centers, with the ability to manually override, consolidates individual shipments into optimal truckloads, highlights exceptions, and releases planning recommendations for execution while taking into account kitting, end item substitution, date effective sourcing, distribution, allocation rules, global forecasting, alternates (components, suppliers, facilities, and ship methods), and supplier capacity constraints

Comprehensive Distribution Planning


• Planners can leverage robust exception management and root-cause analysis in combination with graphical supply chain pegging to identify and resolve problems from end demand to the lowest level component or resource requirements. Extensive use of workflow to enable process automation and automated corrective action enables you to significantly reduce the non-value added costs of manual activity. In addition, planners can leverage extensive personalization to tailor their workspace to their needs. Combined with the powerful simulation and multi-planner collaboration capabilities, it enables them to perform their planning tasks quickly and efficiently.

TRANSLATE DECISIONS INTO ACTIONS WITH OUT-OF-THE-BOX INTEGRATION

Inventory OptimizationDo you know what the most profitable balance

is among customer service levels, budgets,

and inventory cost?

Do you know how much inventory to hold where

and over which time period?

Are you able to account for your supply chain

variability when determining your time phased safety stocks?

Inventory Optimization

It enables you to provide higher service levels to your customers at significantly lower cost by applying inventory postponement recommendations, while simultaneously weighing the impacts on revenue, budgets, inventory policies, and sourcing.

Oracle Inventory Optimization considers the demand, supply, constraints, and variability in your extended supply chain to optimize your inventory investment decisions.

Inventory Optimization• Oracle® Inventory Optimization uses postponement and risk pooling to help you

determine where to hold inventory to guarantee a desired service level and at what stage of production to hold inventory. It can consider all your manufacturing plants, distribution centers, central warehouses, and even your suppliers and customers. In addition, it considers your bill of materials to calculate how much inventory to hold at the finished goods, subassembly, and raw material level. Oracle® Inventory Optimization solves the complex issue of balancing the time and cost you need to incur to get a product to a customer, without paying high costs to hold every product configuration close to your customer's locations.

Postponement and risk pooling

• To optimize your inventory investment, you need to account for all of the variability in your supply chain. Demand variability occurs due to seasonal factors, forecast errors, promotions, or new product introductions. Supply variability occurs due to lead-time uncertainties and supplier performance issues such as product quality and unreliable delivery. Capturing the variability in demand and supply enables you to obtain the precise determination of the inventory investment that is required to meet your customer service objectives, at the lowest possible cost, while remaining within your available inventory budget.

Mitigate supply chain risk by managing supply chain variability

Inventory Optimization

• Typically, your customer service target is not a single number. You might have different goals for different products, customers, or sales channels. Oracle® Inventory Optimization helps determine the most profitable targets to strive for as well as optimize the use of your scarce resources to focus on achieving the most profitable product and sales mix. You can also define different service levels at various levels as every product, sales channel, and customer does not need to have the same service level.

Determine your most profitable channels, products, and customers

• Oracle® Inventory Optimization leverages cutting-edge optimization and risk pooling techniques to determine the most optimal solution, yet it was designed For Planners Not Programmers, empowering your inventory analysts and planners to make decisions intuitively and quickly.

For planners, not programmers

Global Order Promising (GOP)

Do you need to increase your

on-time delivery?

Do you need to improve the reliability and

accuracy of your promises to customers?

Do you need to manage

commitments to key customers?

Do you need visibility to manufacturing,

supplier, and transportation capacity

while promising orders?

Do you know what orders are affected when you accept a new order?


Oracle's order promising capabilities include robust support for distributed global order promising and multi-level supply-chain Available to Promise (ATP), Capable to Promise (CTP), and Capable to Deliver (CTD).

Oracle® Global Order Promising provides you with sophisticated, fast, accurate, and flexible order promising, 24 hours a day.

You can consolidate supply and demand information from multiple transaction systems to provide a consolidated global picture of demand and supply. Order promising is accessible from multiple order entry systems or order capture systems (such as web stores and call centers).


• You can promise order more accurately when you take all the constraints of your supply chain into consideration (substitutes, alternates, lead times, network, capacity). In addition, you can have a more responsive and reliable promising process when the system is available 24x7 with 'zero downtime.' By combining a database-driven architecture with manufacturing, supplier, and logistics constraints, you can ensure improvements in customer service levels and an increase in fill rates.

Promise accurately and reliably

• You can also manage allocations of supply to key customers and channels, thereby ensuring that you can meet contractual agreements and service levels in the priority that yields most profitability. Planners can easily configure the system to vary allocations in line with priorities that flow out of your Sales and Operations Planning process.

Manage key customer and channel commitments


• Tight integration with Oracle Configurator and Order Management enables accurate order promising of complex configurations. Sourcing and availability can be dependent on the options selected during the configuration process. Multiple levels of models and options, including outsourced configurations are supported, whereas match-and-reserve can quickly identify availability for existing configurations.

Promise complex multi-level configurations

• Extensive backlog management enables you to (re)promise a group of orders in a priority sequence. You can also leverage the filtering and manual override capabilities to take care of your most important customers first rather than following the system-suggested recommendations.

Respond to changing conditions

Production Scheduling

Are you able to sequence orders to best use your

production resources?


You can optimize the usage of your critical resources, calculate realistic and feasible schedules that the shop floor can execute, and easily determine the schedule that best meets your objectives.

Oracle® Production Scheduling enables you to create detailed, up-to-the-minute schedules that enable you to produce the right amount of product when it is needed, thereby maximizing service, minimizing inventory, sequence dependent setups, expediting, and other undesirable costs

Oracle® Production Scheduling, designed for schedulers by schedulers, enables you to take control of your production scheduling problem, and helps you to maximize shop floor throughput while optimizing resource investment.

You can leverage the out-of-the-box integration with the Oracle E-Business Suite (discrete, process, and lot-based manufacturing) to implement quickly and obtain immediate value.


• Simultaneously consider capacity and calendar constraints on machines, crews and tools with automatic floating bottleneck detection to optimally schedule your shop floor. Create feasible schedules using sequence dependent setup minimization and campaign run optimization.

Maximize throughput of bottleneck resources

• Schedulers can minimize the effect of unplanned downtime, easily identify exceptions, and use a powerful drag-and-drop scheduling workbench to quickly adjust schedules.

Improve shop floor performance


• Fast easy simulation enables your schedules to quickly compare scenarios and key performance indicators before deciding which schedule to release for execution. Planners can also review both planned and actual production orders to make their decisions.
