Plan Multiple Outputs from a Discrete Manufacturing Work Definition

Hello, my name is Rajan. Welcome to training for Supply Planning in Oracle Supply Chain Planning. In this session, we will talk about plan multiple outputs from a discrete manufacturing work definition.

With this enhancement, user can now plan multiple outputs in discrete work definitions for an item that may be core products in one work definition and primary products output in another. It will ensure that the supply of secondary or output items are generated and planned efficiently while producing the primary items from the discrete manufacturing work definition and vice versa situation. This will help in improving demand satisfaction with optimal inventory.

Now let's look into a small demo for this feature. Here, I have opened the item structure page in Oracle Fusion Supply Planning for the unconstrained supply plan that ends with PL01. In the advanced search criteria, I have provided LOOP for assembly item field with operator has ends with. Based on the above query result, under component item tabs, we can see that the primary item that ends with BFGLOOP at M1 organization consumes one component item that ends with B1CLOOP. And another primary item that ends with AFGLOOP at M1 organization consumes another component item as A1CLOOP.

After that, I went to the routing page for the following primary item that ends with AFGLOOP and BFGLOOP at the M1 organization. We can see that the primary work definition is defined for these items, which includes one operation 10 for the discrete manufacturing work method. Next, I went to the Output Item tab under the Item Structure for the same unconstrained supply plan that ends with PL01.

Here, we can see that now we can specify the output items has a AFGLOOP and BFGLOOP has the core product for the assembly item that ends with BFGLOOP and AFGLOOP at the M1 organization respectively in the vice versa direction. The output quantity defined for this core products items are 0.1 and 0.3 for AFGLOOP and BFGLOOP items respectively. This means that for every one unit of assembly, item 0.1 and 0.3 units of the core product items will be produced.

Now once the plant run is completed, I went to the supplies and demand page for the unconstrained supply plan that ends with PL01. We can see that the plan order and planned order core product new supplies are recommended to satisfy the demand for the primary items. For example, forecast of primary item AFGLOOP at M1 organization of 120 quantity on 26th January, 2030, created a planned order for the primary item AFGLOOP at M1 organization, which resulted in planned order core product supplies also generated for the output item BFGLOOP of 36 order quantity based on the output quantity defined earlier as 0.3.

This planned core product supplies of 36 quantity for BFGLOOP item is used to partially satisfy its manual demand of 50 quantity on 6th of February, 2030. The remaining 14 planned order quantity is created for it, which in turn also resulted in generation of planned core product supply for item AFGLOOP of 1.4 quantity based on its output quantity defined earlier as 0.1.

Now, this planned our core product supply of 1.4 quantity of AFGLOOP item is used to partially satisfy its manual demand of 15 quantity on 11th February, 2030, and remaining 14 plant order quantity is created for it. This ensure that the supply of secondary or output items are generated and planned efficiently for the discrete manufacturing work definition and resulting in optimal inventory across the value chain of supply planning.

Thanks for listening. For more details, please look into the 24D What's New document for this feature.
