This chapter provides information about Oracle Discrete Manufacturing Command Center dashboards.
This chapter covers the following topics:
Discrete Manufacturing Command Center
Discrete Manufacturing Command Center Overview
The Discrete Manufacturing Command Center enables you to search and view dashboard metrics related to job status, job delays, component and resource shortages, scrap and reject quantities, assembly completions, and genealogy and trace of material lot and serial units. You can increase operational efficiency and gain insight using key metrics, drillable graphs, tag clouds, and a network viewer that enables you to quickly identify problem areas and outstanding items that require intervention. Based on your role, you can use the Discrete Manufacturing Command Center to:
-
Monitor work order status.
-
Monitor production quality rejections, including scrap and yield levels.
-
Track production delays and identify exceptions.
-
Track work order execution and resolve schedule delays and quality issues.
-
View customers and sales orders that are impacted by production delays.
-
Take action to manage exceptions.
-
Monitor outside processing operations.
-
Analyze production delays due to supplier process delays.
-
View work order completions information and information for transactions without work orders.
-
View genealogy and trace the lot and serial unit entities within a network viewer diagram.
The Discrete Manufacturing Command Center includes the following dashboards:
-
Work Order Status dashboard - Use this dashboard to manage current work orders and execute tasks efficiently and on time. You can also track and analyze production delays and manage exceptions.
-
Production Quality dashboard - Use this dashboard to monitor the production quality processes. You can track and manage quality issues to meet the production schedule and demand.
-
Outside Processing dashboard - Use this dashboard to monitor outside processing operations. You can identify and manage supplier related production delays.
-
Assembly Completions dashboard - Use this dashboard to view work order completions information. You can also view information for transactions without work orders.
-
Genealogy and Trace dashboard - Use this dashboard to trace the manufacturing production network, both forward and backward, to track the source of material lots or serial units, identify and isolate problems with these lots, and view the customers impacted by the production lots or serial units.
Note: The Oracle Work in Process application configuration and setup must be completed before the installation and common configurations are completed as described in the My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 2495053.1 Installing Oracle Enterprise Command Center Framework. For additional ECC Overview information, see Overview of Oracle Enterprise Command Center Framework, Oracle E-Business Suite User's Guide.
You can use the Work Execution Track & Trace diagram from the Work Orders and Operation tabs on the Work Order Status, Production Quality, and Outside Processing dashboards to seamlessly view, track and trace the entire work order or operation execution events.
Searching Enterprise Command Center Dashboards
Use the dashboard sidebar to refine (filter) the data on each dashboard. You can also Search using a keyword, value, or a specific record. The type-ahead feature suggests matches for your entry that correspond to the selected data set. When you submit a search, the search term is added to the Selected Refinements list, and the dashboard data is refined to include only records that match the search. You can add multiple refinements and remove any of them at any time. Using Saved Searches, you can create and save your searches and refer to them later. You can also edit and delete saved searches.
Use an asterisk (*) or percent sign (%) to perform a partial keyword or record search that matches any string of zero or more characters. You can also use a question mark (?) to perform a partial search that matches any single character.
Additional Information: For more information about searching for and refining data in enterprise command centers, see Search in Highlights of an Enterprise Command Center, Oracle E-Business Suite User's Guide.
Work Order Status Dashboard
As a production supervisor or manager, you can use the Work Order Status dashboard to manage current work orders, track production delays and identify exceptions, view impacted customers, and take action to manage exceptions. The dashboard shows work order information in the Schedule, Delay, and Materials tab layouts, and enables you to navigate to the Discrete Jobs window to edit and update work orders. You can also use the Track Execution link to track and trace work order and operation execution in the network diagram and use the View Timeline link to view event timeline related to work order and operation execution.
You can search by entering a work order, operation, component, serial number, resource, or a move transaction. You can also view work order information based on the available refinements for the work orders, operations, components, serial numbers, and resources data sets. See the Discrete Manufacturing Command Center Overview for more information.
