Supply Chain Advanced Inventory Planning Product Editions and Permitted Features

Oracle Retail Advanced Inventory Planning is a suite of modules designed to manage the supply chains of large retailers at the supplier, warehouse, store, and e-commerce levels. The system couples time-phased replenishment and allocation algorithms to produce an actionable receipt plan over time. This plan is based on demand forecasts, replenishment parameters, and inventory availability at the numerous supply points within the supply chain.

Supply Chain Retail Demand Forecasting Product Editions and Permitted Features

Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting (RDF) is a statistical and promotional forecasting solution. It uses state-of-the-art modeling techniques to produce high quality forecasts with minimal human intervention. Forecasts produced by the Demand Forecasting system enhance the retailer's supply chain planning, allocation, and replenishment processes, enabling a profitable and customer-oriented approach to predicting and meeting product demand.

All Oracle Retail Grade and Oracle Retail Curve documentation is included with the RDF documentation. The packaging and delivery of Curve and Grade remains the same.

Grade is a clustering tool that provides insight into how various parts of a retailer's operations can be grouped together. Typically, a retailer may cluster stores over item sales to create logical groupings of stores based upon sales of particular products. This provides increased visibility to where products are selling, and it allows the retailer to make more accurate decisions in merchandising. Beyond this traditional use of clusters, Grade is flexible enough to cluster any business measure based on products, locations, time, promotions, customers, or any hierarchy configured in the solution.

Curve is an optional automated predictive solution that can generate ratio arrays from historical data at user-specified intersections. The profiles generated by Curve can be used for various purposes; for example, they can be used to convert the organization level assortment plans into base level weekly sales forecasts and to generate seasonal forecasts, daily forecasts, or new product forecasts using lifecycle profile.

Supply Chain Replenishment Optimization Product Editions and Permitted Features

The primary goal of Replenishment Optimization (RO) is to harness the replenishment methods available in the client's replenishment system. To make best use of the available replenishment capabilities, RO recommends optimized replenishment parameters at the item/location level. The recommendations take into account sales volume, volatility, availability of forecast data, seasonality, client business rules and constraints, and financial objectives to determine the optimized values.

RO automatically monitors item/location demand and supply chain variables to determine optimal inventory for greatest return. It recommends replenishment settings, either automatically approving the changes or raising alerts; for example, alerting higher impact items. The optimal replenishment settings recommended by RO may be used to update Oracle Retail Advanced Inventory Planning (AIP) replenishment parameters or the retailer's legacy replenishment system.

The automated management of replenishment settings based on item/location selling characteristics ensures accurate replenishment and allows the user to focus on maximizing profit rather than the time consuming business of managing individual item/location level replenishment.
