Master Demand Schedule tatement of Demand (MDS)

Master Production Schedule (MPS) tatement of Supply

Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

Output of MRP will be any of the below Purchase Order Requisition ( for Buy Items ) Work Order / Production Order /Job Order ( For Make Items)

Oracle when moved from MRP days to APS days (Advanced Planning Scheduling) have added the below 7 modules 1. Advanced Supply chain planning : ASCP is an execution application and does the following To create a single enterprise wise (holistic) plan o Owner will have Visibility to both the demand and the supply o BOM can be owned by the Individual sub assemblies

Helps to create any of the below 3 plans o Unconstrained Plan Everything is abundant & readily available Schedule ship date drivers the un-constrained plan o Constrained Plan Considers constraint on Material , Resource , Supplier Capacity and Lead time Can be either ECC (Enforced Capacity Constraints) or EDD (Enforced Demand Dated). The chosen Constraint becomes the hard constraints and the other one becomes the soft constraint o Optimized Plan Works on the 3 below objectives Maximize on time Delivery Maximize plan profit Maximize Inventory turn-over Weightage will be Provided Alternate Components, resources ,processes ,suppliers ,facilities and ship methods Penalty factor will be set

2. Demantra ( Oracle Demand Planning ) : To achieve a Conses forecast among Varied forecast 3. Global Order Promising ( GOP ) : To Promise accurate order dates to the customers ( this is nothing but ASCP with ATP enabled) 4. Inventory Optimization: Used to provide safety stock recommendations and optimal postponement recommendations. It has the Analysis and planner workbench 5. Production Scheduling ( Manufacturing Scheduling) : To manage scheduling & Re-scheduling is used in unit wise with date and time ( Nothing but detailed level of ASCP) This is the only application that can talk directly to WIP without any need to go through ASCP 6. Collaborate planning (CP) : Creates Portal enabled communication between the enterprise and all involved planners

7. Strategic Network Optimization (SNO) : Used to suggest all alternatives as below Alternative Suppliers Alternative resources Alternative routing Alternative Production methods

Advanced Supply chain planning In Oracle R12, Ledger and Ledger sets replaces Set of Books. Ledger is defined by 4 Cs Calendar Currency Chart of Accounts Convention (refers to the accounting method used like GAAP, IAS etc) Ledger

Item Data Collect Unit of Measure Org Suppliers Customers BOM Staging ODS Publish PDS

ASCP has the following 2 Process Operation Data Store (ODS) : The Collection data extracted from EBS is stored in the ODS Planning Data Store (PDS) : Based on the ODS planning is done to generate the PDS

Both the ODS and PDS data are stored in the same table. The ODS data will have -1 as the rowed and PDS will have a different value as rowed Advanced Supply chain Planning (ASCP) can be implemented in one of the below 4 Implementation types 1 Machine Implementation : Both Transaction and Planning in the same System 2 Machine Implementation : Transaction data will be in 1st Machine and Planning data in the 2nd Machine 3 Machine Implementation : Transaction data will be in 1st Machine ,Planning data in the 2nd Machine and 3rd Machine for Demand Planning 4 Machine Implementation : Transaction data will be in 1st Machine ,Planning data in the 2nd Machine , 3rd Machine for Demand Planning and 4th Machine for running the Concurrent

Programs for Planning DBLinks are needed for all the above Implementation except the 1 Machine Implementations. Collection is required for all ASCP Implementations. Exception set is a set of filter condition on which planner will see the exception. Exception set has to be defined at 2 levels one at the Item level ( Item exception) and the other at the Resource Level ( Resource Exception) Demand from Forecast, Sales Order, Internal Orders are called as Independent demand Release sequence rule is based on Order date, scheduled date or Outstanding Invoice value Collection Collection of data from Application could be Oracle or any legacy application. There are 2 types of collection a) standard b) continuous Standard Collection 3 sub types : The Standard collection is categorized into

Complete Refresh The data is completely purged in ODS and data is reloaded Net change Refresh The data is loaded Incremental ( This refresh is recommended by Oracle ) Targeted Refresh This is Similar to complete refresh but on selected entity

Continuous Collection : This is an automated collection process Collection is a 2 step user visible Programs 1. Planning data pull - Load data from EBS Applications to Staging table 2. Planning ODS Load - Load data from staging to the ODS Pre-processing Lead Time: The time taken to prepare the PO document from the time the requirement for the item is felt or understood

Processing Lead Time: The time taken for the Vendor to prepare or procure the item and bring it to the factory gate Post Processing Lead time: The time taken by the Organization to deliver to the point of consumption or to the point of Inventory is called Post Processing Lead Time

Recommended Planning Parameters for Implementation Setup 1. Inventory Planning Method : Not Planned 2. Make or Buy : Manufacturing Items should be Make and Purchased items should be Buy 3. Planning Method : MRP / DRP Planned 4. Planner : Organization Specific Planner name 5. Safety Stock Method : Non-MRP Planned or MRP Planned % 6. Forecast Control : Consume and Derive 7. Pegging : End Assembly / Soft Pegging 8. DTF : For MTO type of Manufacturing, DTF is set higher than PTF for scheduling only against the customer Order. DTF for MTS items can be set to Zero 9. PTF : May be decided by the Production scheduling sequences for the specific items and is marked by firming the respective planned Orders. PTF is low for MTO Items and high fir MTS Items Pegging: Mapping of Supply to demand and Vice Versa. Supply plan is always driven by demand. Pegging is set by Profile and is of 4 types Standard Pegging Priority Pegging FIFO Pegging

Priority / FIFO

Tips GL , PO Periods can be opened to a target Period in a single shot in R12 Demand class is not associated with MRP but can be associated with MPS or MPP Planned Inventory Point (PIP) is a point in the Inventory where the Production can be continued even though the demand for the final assembly is not there Planner is an Org Specific Entity and should be set as an Employee in R12 Scheduling reservation Scheduling reservation is placing a soft demand on the Inventory whereas is placing a hard demand on the Inventory. can be done even without on hand qty whereas expects the availability of on hand quantity

Item Stimulation set: After data collection if the item attributes need to be modified for multiple items , we can achieve this by creating a Item stimulation set. Order Modifiers are item attributes and are for Buy items and is to follow the below sequence in the set Fixed days supply Fixed Orders quantity Fixed lot multiple Min Order QTY ( If requirement is 145 2 Orders for 100 qty each to be placed) o Max Order QTY ( If requirement is 145, 2 Orders 1 Order of 100 and 1 Order for 45 qty to be placed) o Round Order QTY o o o o
