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

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

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.
