Transcript of Project Oracle R12 Supply Chain - Home - Twin Cities...
Personal Intro
■ Former E&Y and Oracle employee■ Development Lead on Alcoa Oracle
Project; • Over $1 billion project budget• 28 businesses • Global implementation • Standardize finance• Lean and Complex Discrete Manufacturing
■ Functional Lead on ECSS Phase I, Base Supply
■ Currently at Select Comfort
DoD Modernization
■ All branches of Armed Forces received project budgets as part of Stimulus
■ Modernize Supply Chain; reduce costs and increase reaction time
■ Support every contingency ■ Implement standard, easy to use tools and
techniques■ U.S. Military active in 70 different
countries on any given day; active operations in over 120 countries a year
Air Force (AF) and Foreign Military Sales (FMS)
■ Air Force does little traditional manufacturing, but has a complex Repair Service and Supply Chain accounting for about $30 Billion of business a year
■ Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and Service provided by U.S. Supply Systems; billions of dollars in sales and service to 160 countries
■ Move from Cold War Supplies -> Special Forces Expeditions
Implementation Strategy
■ Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software
■ “There’s an App for that”■ Initially chose “Best of Bread” tools,
then decided it was too costly to integrate them
■ Chose Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) R12 Applications
Project Quantifiers
■ Replace 451 Legacy IT Systems■ Replace 12,000 Interfaces■ Support 250,000 Users■ 10 Year, 4 Phase Project
Project Methodology
■ Gather Requirements■ Configure Oracle Applications■ Demonstrate Applications via Test
Scenarios■ Document Gaps■ Map Requirements to Test Scenarios
to Gaps
Business Issues
■ Transportation Planning• Navy transports slowly but cost effectively • Air force transports quickly but expensively
■ Service based upon use• for example, flights over water versus desert
■ Many transactions need to be performed off-line; i.e. receiving material
■ Providing a summary view of Supply • Government is notorious for losing things; i.e.
FEMA
Depot Repair Process
■ Aircraft and Asset maintenance Service Request
■ Customer Service Agent checks Oracle Knowledge Management for resolution
■ Determine Repair Type:• Repair and Return• Loaner, Repair and Return• Exchange• Replacement• Refurbishment
Depot Repair Process
■ Complete Order Management RMA and/or Sales Order Line
■ Create Oracle WIP Job or Task• WIP Job for multiple sequential steps
(router) and material use (BOM)• Task: Non-costed simple tasks
Shipping Catch Up
■ Hurry up and Wait■ Requisitioned, Approved, Stockpiled
and Order put on Hold■ Materials distributed or consumed
off-line■ Pick Release runs in batch and
releases sales orders■ Ship Confirm confirms shipments in
batch
Work in Process
■ Simple Manufacturing• Work Orderless Completion • Lean Manufacturing using Kanban• Flow Manufacturing • Pull• Catch Up
■ Complex Manufacturing• BOM and Routing• Push
United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM)
■ The mission of USTRANSCOM is to provide air, land and sea transportation for the Department of Defense
■ Air Force’s Air Mobility Command■ Navy’s Sealift Command■ Army’s Surface Deployment and
Distribution Command
Oracle Transportation Planning
■ Plan Shipments, usually more than 1 day lead time to ship
■ Inventory ownership• Government Owned, GSA Procured• Sometimes SKU level and track inventory in
transit• Steward, ship/handle as owner, GL different• Manage the inventory: BOL, Hazard Code, etc.• Shipper: LPN or tracking code.
Oracle Transportation Planning
■ Truck focused■ Domestic centric■ Discrete packaged items, not bulk■ Load consolidation
• Parcels -> LTL• LTL -> Full Truckload
■ Combine Trips into Routes
