Oracle Supply Chain Management

The supply chain represents the largest costs for most commercial organisations. For this reason, the supply chain is at the front line in the current economic climate, freeing up cash and reducing costs. These goals must be met whilst improving service to the customer in a hyper-competitive market.

In this environment a number of supply chain processes have emerged as a priority for supply chain leaders:

• Sales & Operations Planning
  A well-established process in most organisations, but one that often fails to meet an organisation's needs.
• Supply Chain Performance Management
  Reconnecting the outsourced supply chain, providing visibility and enabling risk to be managed.
• Logistics
  Managing the costs relating to inbound & outbound transportation. Brought into sharp focus by the high oil prices of 2008.
• Product Lifecycle Management
  Reducing time-to-market and managing all product information to ensure quality and compliance.
