Flow Manufacturing

Oracle Flow Manufacturing supports the entire build-to-order manufacturing process, including make-to-stock, configure-to-order, discrete-repetitive, assemble-to-order, and engineer-to-order. Initiate schedules as soon as customer orders are complete, and ensure shipment as soon as build is complete. Results include shorter cycle times, balanced production, reduced inventory costs, and improved product quality.

Integrate and Streamline Your Manufacturing Processes
Oracle Shop Floor Management is part of Oracle Supply Chain Management, and integrates seamlessly with other Oracle applications, including OracleWork in Process and Oracle Advanced Planning and Scheduling.

Integrate Demand

• Gain available-to-promise and capable-to-promise capabilities. Use orders to schedule demand. Gain flexible tolerance fences that accurately reflect supplier capacity.

Enable Line Design and Balancing

• Share product processes and events between assemblies. Perform graphical product synchronization. Manage sequence of events using flow routing.

Gain Line Scheduling and Sequencing Capabilities

• Plan, simulate, and schedule production lines. Schedule mass customization. Check component availability.

Manage Execution

• Record completion of assemblies, even without work orders. Monitor lines with linearity reporting. Backflush materials upon assembly completion.

Deploy Kanban Planning and Execution

• Define pull sequences to identify material replenishment chains. Determine kanban requirements using product replenishment lead times and demand.
