Overview of Manufacturing Job Roles and Work Areas

Oracle Manufacturing provides the following three predefined job roles. Oracle recommends that security administrators don't assign these predefined roles directly to users. Instead, make a copy of a predefined role, remove the privileges that your users don't need, and assign users the role that contains only the privileges they need. So, the names of the roles your enterprise uses may be different from the names in this list.

• Manufacturing Engineer: A role responsible for developing, maintaining, and improving manufacturing processes needed to achieve production goals according to product specifications.

• Production Supervisor: A role responsible for managing shop floor production resources and activities, to ensure on-time production of products at the required quality levels that meet customer expectations.

• Production Operator: A role responsible for efficient operation of equipment, or assembly of goods, based on standard operating procedures, and reporting production progress.

For more information about privileges, refer to the Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud Security Reference for Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management guide.

Based on the roles assigned to the user, manufacturing tasks are accessed and performed through the following two distinctly different work areas:

• Work Definition: This work area provides insight into key setup information for a manufacturing plant, and lists all the tasks to define and manage manufacturing setup data.

• Work Execution: This work area provides insight into plant, work area, and work center level production information, and lists all the tasks to manage and execute production activities.
