Manufacturing Analytics
Traditionally, supply chain management solutions for manufacturers focused solely on execution. In recent years, the importance of integrating an analytical solution that monitors past, present, and future performance has been realized. Companies must balance their supply chain with current and prospective sales information. In today’s competitive environment, manufacturers need to constantly track important data including inventory, rejected items, throughput, order status, and shipments. Once used primarily at the management level, leading companies are now using manufacturing analytics at all levels of the organization. By empowering users at the operational level, the first person who notices the variance can make changes to the process without waiting for direction which helps drive the success of the organization.
Users of manufacturing analytics are empowered to:
- Align production resources to the most profitable products
- Optimize raw materials and other supply costs
- Track yield, capacity utilization, and material consumption
- Adapt to a changing marketplace
The KBACE Advantage
At KBACE, we have many Subject Matter Experts on Oracle’s family of manufacturing applications. Our consultants have implemented systems that enable organizations to optimize production capacity, from raw materials through final product — regardless of manufacturing methodology. Although we have a long history where we have deployed Oracle’s Applications in an environment new to Oracle, we pride ourselves on our experience helping existing Oracle customers implement and optimize Oracle’s newer applications as well. As one example, we were the first to incorporate Oracle Shop Floor Management into the Semi Conductor Industry Accelerators. Our experience in the field has enabled us to develop best-practice analytics for a broad range of manufacturers.
