MPS/MRP and Forecasting User’s Guide
The Oracle Process Manufacturing Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
application provides long-term "views" of material demands and projected supply
actions to satisfy those demands. The Master Production Scheduling (MPS)
application lets you shorten that view to a much narrower and immediate time
horizon, and see the immediate effects of demand and supply actions. The Oracle
Process Manufacturing MPS/MRP and Forecasting User’s Guide describes how to setup
and use this application.
Capacity Planning User’s Guide
The OPM Capacity Planning User's Guide describes the setup required to use OPM
with the Oracle Applications Advanced Supply Chain Planning solutions. In
addition, Resource setup, used by the OPM Production Execution and New Product
Development applications, is also described.
Using Oracle Process Manufacturing with Oracle Manufacturing Scheduling
Oracle Process Manufacturing integrates with Oracle Manufacturing Scheduling to
manage and utilize resources and materials. Through the Process Manufacturing
application, you set up manufacturing, inventory, procurement and sales order
data. Through the Manufacturing Scheduling application, you can optimize the
schedule based on resource and component constraints and user predefined
priorities. Using different optimization objectives, you can tailor Manufacturing
Scheduling to meet your needs.
Using Oracle Manufacturing Scheduling helps you improve productivity and
efficiency on your shop floor. By optimally scheduling shop floor jobs, and being
able to quickly react to unplanned constraints, you can lower manufacturing costs,
increase resource utilization and efficiency, and increase customer satisfaction
through improved on-time delivery. The Using Oracle Process Manufacturing with
Oracle Manufacturing Scheduling User’s Guide describes how to setup and use this
integrated solution.
Product Development User’s Guide
The Oracle Process Manufacturing Product Development application provides
features to manage formula and laboratory work within the process manufacturing
operation. It lets you manage multiple laboratory organizations and support
varying product lines throughout the organization. You can characterize and
simulate the technical properties of ingredients and their effects on formulas. You
can optimize formulations before beginning expensive laboratory test batches.
Product Development coordinates each development function and enables a rapid,
