Oracle Supply Planning

Use a single application to plan supply, production, and inventory

Make better decisions—faster

Identify demand risk and evaluate the impact of demand changes on supply.

Balance global demand and supply

Proactively revise plans to address shortages and overloads based on the latest data from across the supply chain.

Align enterprise business segments

Reduce cost to serve, buffer variability, and stockouts by aligning business segment plans using a common supply network.

Honor customer commitments

Prioritize, simulate, and reschedule open orders based on the latest supply availability.

Maximize shop floor throughput

Develop high-quality, executable intraday factory schedules for your daily supply plans that maximize asset and component utilization.

Strategically plan across your supply chain

Plan across all supply chain tiers

Manage material and capacity across plants, distribution centers, suppliers, and contract manufacturers.

Develop constrained plans

Automatically select alternate resources and components to reduce lead time and capacity constraints.

Handle diverse production planning and fulfillment needs

Plan process, discrete, configure-to-order, and outsourced production, as well as drop-ship and back-to-back fulfillment.

Understand supply planning performance

Analyze overall plan performance

Get at-a-glance aggregate and detailed summaries of revenue, margin, demand, supply, resource utilization, changeover time, and other metrics.

Diagnose root causes

Use guided navigation to drill down to details and perform cause-and-effect analysis of problems.

Answer ad hoc questions

Easily configure analytics to visualize issues, highlight exceptions, and focus on what matters.

Respond to changing business conditions

Simulate solutions to critical problems

Simulate the impact of demand, supply, capacity, and item structure changes to prevent disruptions.

Identify plan changes

Review and collaborate on plan changes with internal and external stakeholders.

Instantly execute the new plan

Execute ready-to-build orders, and release purchase and transfer recommendations.

Efficiently manage the order backlog

Minimize the cost of fulfilling the most urgent demand while maximizing shipments to meet revenue targets.

Dynamically reschedule production to reduce delays

Instantly respond to machine outages, labor shortages, material delays, and changing order priorities. Release adjusted schedules for shop floor execution as needed throughout the day.

Maximize throughput with effective production scheduling

Improve production planning efficiency

Maximize use of resources and available components, reducing work-in-process inventory, waste, and expedites. Release schedules for execution in real time.

Create executable production schedules

Create feasible production schedules that take the latest material, capacity, and calendar constraints into account.

Optimize changeovers to minimize downtime

Increase throughput and asset utilization with schedules that make efficient changeovers based on your industry attributes, minimizing idle time.

Resolve shop floor bottlenecks

Schedule work order operations with your desired attribute sequence to maximize the efficiency of your production planning process.

Simulate the impact of schedule changes

Run quick, in-line simulations and what-if scenarios to resolve production scheduling issues, make drag-and-drop adjustments, and edit dispatch lists as necessary.

Minimize the effect of unplanned downtime

Run, repair, and release production schedules dynamically to deal with unexpected machine outages, labor shortages, material delays, and changes in order priorities.

Proactively monitor your shop floor

Monitor changeover time, resource utilization, and late orders with prebuilt analytics for production scheduling.

Manage your sales order backlog with strategic fulfillment

Intelligently manage open orders

Prioritize your open orders to reduce delivery delays, increase sales, or achieve margin targets when supply or demand changes. Simulate multiple fulfillment alternatives, and select those that best meet your business objectives.

React intelligently to supply and demand changes

Use available supply to schedule new orders and reduce delays while respecting existing promise dates.

Fulfill the most important orders first

Prioritize orders in the backlog using flexible business rules that maximize order revenue, margin, and service.

Solve sourcing and fulfillment problems

Model what-if changes to sourcing, transit mode, and shipping constraints to respond quickly and find the best solutions.

Perform what-if order planning

Simulate the scheduling and availability impact of a potential order on the rest of the backlog.
