Key Capabilities

Plan all supply chain facilities simultaneously Short-term detailed scheduling and long-term aggregate planning are supported within a single plan Plans that consider both resource and material constraints Configure Oracle ASCP to optimize specific business criteria Allows many types of changes to supply, demand and resources to simulate changing business conditions Integrated solution

ASCP v/s MRP

Oracles focus product Productivity enhancing UI

Plan alt. sources and alt. resources Plan with optimization rules (inv turns / ontime delivery) and penalty factors Constrained plan (ECC / EDD / lead time constraints) VMI Support New reports Powerful simulations Different calendars for shipping / manufacturing / receiving Multiple instance planning
