Sense, predict, and shape demand for better outcomes
Next-generation demand management incorporating replenishment planning, segmentation capabilities, new product introduction, and machine learning for planners.
Analyze demand by segment
Dynamically group items, locations, and customers with similar behavior into segments that share a demand profile.
Evaluate the impact of demand changes
Analyze the cause and effect of seasonality, promotional events, product attributes, and leading indicators to make adjustments to inventory.
Establish a robust demand plan for your manufacturing strategy
Track changes, monitor exceptions, and synchronize with sales and operations planning (S&OP) and supply plans to ensure a well-functioning process.
Sense demand to improve visibility
Transform qualitative and quantitative signals from diverse sources into business insights.
Predict demand to manage variability
Use machine learning to generate more accurate forecasts, while measuring and tracking the root cause of forecast error.
Shape demand to achieve business objectives
Simulate forecast scenarios, collaborate with stakeholders, and manage new product introductions to improve business performance.
Enable demand-driven replenishment
Make replenishment planning easy and effective. Drive more accurate fulfillment with inventory policies and consumption rules tailored to demand segments.
Plan for customer-centric demand
Integrate demand-driven consumption, inventory and fulfillment to meet customer-specific requirements.
Predict consumption to optimize service levels
Forecast demand to anticipate seasonal, trend, and event-based changes and keep supply within inventory thresholds.
Tailor inventory policies to demand segments
Automatically assign replenishment parameters to groups of items and locations based on their behavior to reduce stockouts.
Simulate and resolve replenishment issues
Graphically simulate and adjust the replenishment strategy for individual items and locations to improve performance.
Automate continuous replenishment
Calculate replenishment requirements and release of planned orders automatically as consumption occurs.
Make more effective replenishment buying decisions
Consolidate orders to maximize price breaks and save on transit costs while maintaining service levels.
Optimize resources for service and cost
Identify and execute the best supply to demand plans. Plan items across multitier locations, identify and address the most important problems, and simulate potential responses to optimize customer service and the cost of inventory.
Unify planning processes
Balance demand and supply, optimize inventory for service and cost, and plan for multiple material and capacity scenarios.
Plan the entire supply chain
Plan process, discrete, project-driven, configure-to-order, and outsourced production, as well as drop-ship and back-to-back fulfillment.
Monitor and prioritize supply problems
Use embedded analytics to review impact on KPIs, such as margin and turns, and navigate to focus on problem areas.
Predict and proactively respond to disruptions
Review and collaborate on planned supply order changes with internal and external stakeholders. Utilize built-in machine learning or integration with Internet of Things (IoT) systems.
Improve production efficiency
Schedule production during the day to maximize use of bottleneck resources and available components. Reduce work in process inventory, waste, and expedites. Visualize how work order operations are allocated to resources. Drag and drop to simulate the best response to issues or changes, and release schedules for execution in real time.
Create high-quality, executable schedules
Use real-time resource availability and work orders in Oracle Cloud Fusion Manufacturing to create feasible 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.
Proactively monitor your shop floor
Evaluate how your factory is scheduled at a glance, with interactive analytics that reveal insights about changeover time, resource utilization, and late orders.
Resolve shop floor bottlenecks
Schedule work order operations with your desired attribute sequence to maximize the efficiency of your production lines. Reduce bottlenecks by offloading to alternate resources.
Simulate the impact of schedule changes
Easily inspect schedules and analyze production issues in a visual Gantt chart. Make drag-and-drop adjustments and edit dispatch lists as necessary. Run quick in-line simulations and what-ifs to resolve issues.
Minimize the effect of unplanned downtime
Run and repair schedules dynamically to deal with unexpected machine outages, labor shortages, material delays, and changes in order priorities. Release adjusted schedules as needed during the day for instant shop floor execution.
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.
Align the enterprise with continuous planning
Align business plans and operations across your sales, marketing, finance, and supply chain organizations. Build agility into your operations to orchestrate change across your organization and balance demand and supply for the best possible outcomes.
Align the enterprise
Leverage built-in, integrated business planning processes and collaborative tools to drive consensus among stakeholders.
Build a realistic aggregate plan
Balance aggregate supply and demand by modeling and comparing alternative constrained planning scenarios.
Achieve business objectives
Gain insight from personalized, KPI-driven dashboards to support revenue growth and cost management tradeoff decisions.
Act confidently on the consensus plan
Quickly aggregate and disaggregate demand and supply plans to optimize utilization and investment decisions.
Connect your planning, execution, finance, and operations
Transform plans into execution and monitor activity to detect unexpected events using IoT, AI, and prescriptive analytics. Simulate and evaluate alternative responses to maintain or improve business targets.
Reduce decision latency
Leverage real-time planning and execution details to act on negative trends faster and more effectively.
Consolidate all planning in a single hub
