Define the Operation Yield for the Work Definition to Model the Expected Quantity for an Operation in Process Manufacturing

Process manufacturers often face challenges in accurately planning final output due to varying yields at different stages of production. Without visibility into operation-specific yields, it can be difficult to optimize material planning, control costs, and identify areas for process improvement. Addressing these needs is essential for enhancing efficiency and ensuring reliable, cost-effective production.

With this update, you can now define operation-specific yield percentages for process manufacturing work definitions and work orders in Oracle Fusion Manufacturing. This lets manufacturers capture and view yields at each step of the production process, as well as see the cumulative yield for the entire manufacturing flow.

Operation yield is used at the time of the process work order creation to calculate the quantities transferred to each operation based on the batch quantity, so that the operation materials, resources, and the outputs of the production process can be updated according to the expected loss.

File-Based Data Import (FBDI) Changes:

The FBDI for the Process Work Definition Import has been enhanced to capture operation yield value for the work definition operations. A new attribute, Operation Yield is added to the existing Work Definition Operations sheet. Also, the FBDI for the Process Work Orders Import has been enhanced to calculate the material, resource, and output requirements based on the operation yield values during work order creation and update actions.

REST API Changes:

You can now specify operation yield values for the process work definition operation using the WorkDefinitionRequests REST API. You can also query and view the operation yield values for the work order operations using the Operation child resource of the processWorkOrders REST API. When a process work order is created or updated through the processWorkOrders REST API, the material, resource, and output requirements are calculated based on the operation yield values.

• Accurate Production Planning: Plan work orders and materials based on actual yields at each operation, reducing waste and shortages.
• Improved Visibility: View cumulative process yield to identify areas for improvement and make data-driven decisions.
• Cost Optimization: Minimize excess material usage and production costs by tracking where yield losses occur.

Steps to Enable

Use the Opt In UI to enable this feature. For instructions, refer to the Optional Uptake of New Features section of this document.

Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management  No Longer Optional From: Update 26C

You must enable the plant parameter 'Include operation yields in materials, resources, and output calculation' to create process work orders with operation yield values considered in material requirements, resource requirements, and output quantity calculation.

Plant Parameter

Tips And Considerations

Consider the following points when using the Operation Yield attribute:

• Defaults to 1 (100%) for new process manufacturing work definitions
• Can't be a negative value
• You can create OTBI reports and analyses with operation yield in process manufacturing work orders 

Key Resources

• Watch the Define the Operation Yield for the Work Definition to Model the Expected Quantity for an Operation in Process Manufacturing demo.
