1 Introduction to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant Manager's Dashboard

This chapter contains the following topics:

1.1 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant Manager's Dashboard Overview

The ability of a manufacturer to service and excel in a competitive environment depends on the capabilities of the manufacturer to reduce costs, maximize productivity, and maintain high standards of quality. A manufacturer must be able to measure fundamental operating metrics and report that data to accountable personnel. Management must be able to analyze, improve, and control operations, as well as evaluate the results of all business improvement initiatives. Operational metrics are tied to the overall strategic goals for an organization, and the metrics indicate whether the organization is moving towards or away from the goals. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant Manager's Dashboard (PMD) system from Oracle provides the management tool for meeting these demands.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne PMD system provides operational analytics that identify performance successes or operational inefficiencies across the supply chain. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne PMD supplies metrics across six key areas that define the operational performance of manufacturing companies:

  • Cash and Capital Management

  • Customer Shipment Performance

  • Inventory Management Effectiveness

  • Manufacturing Performance

  • Revenue Management

  • Supplier Performance

Each of these key areas includes a number of metrics for analyzing business performance.


Note:

Note: This implementation guide uses a generic set of metric groups based on the key areas. Each metric is included in one of the key area groups. Metric groups are user-defined; the groups in this implementation guide are for example purposes only.

1.1.1 Metrics

1.2 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant Manager's Dashboard Integrations

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne PMD system integrates with these JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems from Oracle:

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Condition-Based Maintenance

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Accounting

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management

1.2.1 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne PMD integrates with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable to determine the purchase orders that have been received and not yet paid. The system uses accounts payable information to calculate the Days Payable Outstanding and the Cash-to-Cash Cycle Time metrics.

1.2.2 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne PMD integrates with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable to determine the sales orders that have been shipped for which payment has not yet been received. The system uses account receivable information to calculate the Days Sales Outstanding and the Cash-to-Cash Cycle Time metrics.

1.2.3 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Condition-Based Maintenance

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne PMD integrates with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) to enable you to receive alerts when equipment tolerances are unacceptable. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne CBM system along with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Capital Asset Management enables you to identify equipment, set up maintenance tasks and intervals, set up equipment tolerances, and track equipment downtime.

1.2.4 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Accounting

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne PMD integrates with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Accounting to gather the base data for metrics. The system loads the data from the general ledger into the PMD tables to use for calculating metric performance.

1.2.5 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne PMD integrates with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management to determine the number of items in inventory. The system uses inventory information along with general accounting information to calculate the Inventory Turns, the Days Sales in Inventory, and the Cash-to-Cash Cycle Time metrics.

1.2.6 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne PMD integrates with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement to determine the status of purchase orders, receipt quantities, and inspection information. The system uses procurement information to calculate the Supplier Lead Time Exception metric, Supplier On Time Delivery metric, and Pass Quality metric.

1.2.7 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne PMD integrates with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management to gather the base data for metrics. The system loads the data from the Sales Order Detail and Sales Order History tables into the PMD tables to use for metric tracking. The system uses sales order information to determine the status of sales orders, shipment quantities and dates, and current and projected revenue.

1.2.8 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne PMD integrates with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management to determine the status and costs of work orders. The system uses work order information to calculate the On Time Production Completions and Actual to Planned Production cost variance metric information.

1.3 JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant Manager's Dashboard Implementation

Implementation tasks are common to all consoles in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Console system. The steps to implement the system are documented in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Console Fundamentals Implementation Guide.
