About Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning

Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning provides a suite of applications that anticipate demand, manage supply, and align stakeholder and trading partner actions to company objectives.

• Oracle Sales & Operations Planning translates cash flow from operations (CFO) revenue, margin, and cost objectives into corresponding global supply chain plans to evolve the product mix, sourcing, production, and distribution strategies. Key stakeholders contribute, collaborate, and come to consensus on connected product, financial, sales, marketing, supply chain, and workforce plans.
• Oracle Demand Management combines enterprise demand such as orders and shipments with weather, economic, social, and other external data signals to enhance demand sensing. It adapts to handle short lifecycle, intermittent, seasonal, promotional, and configured items. It can also automate demand-driven, time-phased replenishment processes across a multi-echelon network of stores, depots, or other regularly stocked locations.
• Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning identifies the inventory, capacity, and material supply required to meet demand, including drop shipments, back-to-back orders, and contract manufactured items. It uses hybrid constraint-based planning to avoid delays, including building ahead of time, alternate resources, substitutes, and alternate suppliers. Built-in production scheduling proactively adjusts the sequence and timing of jobs in the factory in sync with real time shop floor events. Meanwhile, order backlog management prioritizes and reschedules open sales orders when items are on allocation or supply availability changes.
• Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Collaboration provides visibility to downstream demand and upstream supply commitments, identifying any mismatches across multiple supply chain tiers. It also automates supplier- managed inventory and contract manufacturing collaboration processes.
• Oracle Backlog Management enables an enterprise to frequently reassess the sales order backlog (sales orders that have been scheduled but haven't yet been shipped) to identify the latest possible scheduled dates on demands, based on the latest supply available. Actions can then be taken within Oracle Backlog Management to refine order schedules, either by re-prioritizing orders or by simulating changes to demand attributes and viewing possible planned results. Once the possible new dates on orders within Backlog Management have been identified, they can then be released to Oracle Fusion Cloud Order Management.
