Oracle Production Scheduling

Feasible on-time schedules with improved throughput and utilization

Why PS :

Sequence orders to best use your production resources. Offload production to alternate resources.

Minimize the effect of unplanned production and down time.

Evaluate the impact of a supply shortage on fill rates.

Support revenue growth using existing production assets.

Feasible schedules that respect manufacturing constraints.

Reduced work in process inventories

Secure and integrated system

Flexible and easy to work with scheduling UI

Advanced analytical views

Sequence dependent changeover minimization

Alerts with root cause

Automatic floating bottleneck detection

Representation of all routing precedence relationships

KPI to determine the best schedule.

Scope of PS & ASCP

Two implementation modes of PS:

Running PS “Standalone”

Running PS with reference to an ASCP Plan

Schedule work orders only

Schedule work orders and planned orders

Forecast demands specified via Demand schedules

Forecast demands come in via the referenced ASCP plan

Inter-org demands included only via internal sales orders

Inter-org demands also include planned order demands from the ASCP plan

Items to be included in PS specified via specification of category sets / categories

Items to be included in PS derived from the items in the ASCP plan

No Forecast consumption

Forecast consumption performed in ASCP is retained within PS

The ASCP plan from which Production Scheduling reads in dependent and independent demands as well as planned orders.

The category set to be used to filter the items for consideration.

List of Schedules created for the selected organization

Collect the latest E-Business Suite data and ASCP planned orders for scheduling in Production Scheduling. If this is the first time you are running this schedule, this is the only option available to you.

When E-Business Suite data has previously been collected to the planning server, this option creates the production schedule based on that data.

Start Production Scheduling with the last model saved on the client computer.

Understanding Models and Data Editors

Demand Centric view enables you to visually display the start

times, end times and duration for each demand, along with its

associated line items and routings.

Makespan Bars:

Solid black bar- 100 % order fill, based on unit fill

Solid yellow bar- 66% to 100%

Solid orange bar- 33% to 66%

Solid red bar- Less than 33%

Demand Centric View

Work Order centric view enables you to visually display the start

times, end times and duration for each work order , along with its

associated operations and any pegged work orders

Solid black bar- Line item schedule to be manufactured on-time

Black and Red bar- Line item schedule to be available after the

requested date

Black and green bar- to be available before the requested

Solid red bar- item after requested date

Solid green bar- Line item schedule early

Green diamond- Line item is procured from a supplier and ready

to be used in routing

Publishing Schedules

Production Scheduling Published Reports Overview We can publish data from Production Scheduling in any of the following formats: • CSV • HTML • XML CSV File Reports CSV files can be read into an ETL tool of your choice for transformation in preparation for import into other systems. When you publish in .csv file format, you can generate one or more of the following reports. Operations Report, Resource Schedule, Demand Fulfillment, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) HTML Dispatch Report HTML file format generates an HTML Dispatch Report that can be published directly to the shop floor. XML File Reports The standard XML files, which are exported out of Production Scheduling, are: • ProductionSchedule.xml • PurchaseOrderRecommendations.xml • WorkOrderSchedule.xml XML files can be compressed when publishing, which reduces the size of the files created.
