Advanced Supply Chain Planning

Overview

Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning provides central holistic planning and scheduling. It surpasses the traditional latency of disconnected planning processes or Excel planning spreadsheets and makes you more responsive by enabling you to perform simultaneous material and capacity planning across multiple facilities and time horizons in a single planning run, while at the same time accounting for the latest consensus forecast, sales orders, production status, purchase orders, and inventory policy recommendations. 

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. 

Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning offers comprehensive support for companies that focus more on solving distribution and replenishment problems.  The Workbench highlights exceptions, and releases planning recommendations for execution, while taking into account kitting, end item substitution, date effective sourcing, distribution and allocation rules, global forecasting (dynamic order fulfillment), alternates (components, suppliers, facilities, and ship methods), warehouse capacity, shelf life, and supplier capacity constraints. 

Oracle ASCP addresses the following key supply planning issues:
  • How do I plan my supply chain in the least amount of time possible?
  • How do I minimize the number of plans and iterations?
  • How do I plan my entire supply chain?
  • How do I involve my trading partners?
  • How can I access my plan from anywhere?
  • How do I keep improving my plans?
  • How can I plan all manufacturing methods?
