New Smart Operations capabilities in Oracle Cloud SCM help
customers increase productivity, enhance quality, reduce downtime,
expand production visibility, and improve factory output
LONDON, March 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Oracle CloudWorld -- To help organizations
increase the efficiency of global supply chain operations, Oracle
today announced Oracle Smart Operations, new supply chain execution
capabilities in Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain &
Manufacturing (SCM). Powered by advanced technologies like
artificial intelligence (AI), the new capabilities within Oracle
Fusion Cloud Manufacturing and Oracle Fusion Cloud Maintenance can
help customers improve factory output by increasing productivity,
enhancing quality, reducing unplanned downtime, and improving
visibility across operations.
With on-going labor shortages, supply chain disruptions,
ever-fluctuating demand, and volatile market needs, organizations
are under pressure to do more with less. To remain competitive,
manufacturing and asset-intensive organizations need smart and
agile processes that increase the efficiency of factories, reduce
the risk of unplanned downtime, and expand visibility across
operations. Oracle Smart Operations offers connected, intelligent,
and automated capabilities that enable Oracle Cloud Manufacturing
and Oracle Cloud Maintenance customers to improve efficiency and
make better business decisions with agile execution.
"As organizations look to insulate their operations from ongoing
disruptions, many leaders are turning to technology to increase
output, improve quality, and build resiliency," said Chris Leone, executive vice president of
applications development, Oracle. "With Oracle Cloud SCM,
organizations can connect and automate end-to-end supply chain
processes and move toward a lights out manufacturing model. The new
smart manufacturing and maintenance capabilities can help our
customers reduce inefficient manual recording and monitoring
processes, increase safety, improve quality, and optimize
operations."
Smart Operations for Manufacturing
The new
capabilities within Oracle Cloud Manufacturing enable customers to
combine data from connected equipment, the workforce, and supply
chain processes to deliver real-time recommendations, autonomously
adjust production, and execute on high-value manufacturing
decisions. New capabilities include:
- Operator Workbench: Provides customers with a single
user interface to capture and access information and insights as
they complete day-to-day operations, such as operation start/stop,
time tracking, materials and tools required, and production
exception reporting. With a simple and user-friendly environment
and automated data capture, machine operators have clear visibility
into their daily tasks, and assembly workers gain more autonomy to
execute orders and quickly track and record production.
- Digital Work Instructions: Help customers simplify
complex assembly operations, including manual and automated
assemblies, and enforce procedures to improve quality and
consistency. With simple, intuitive work instructions, machine
operators and assembly workers can improve productivity, quality,
and safety, while addressing compliance.
Smart Operations for Maintenance
The new
capability within Oracle Cloud Maintenance enables customers to
combine maintenance data with real-time asset information,
workforce, and supply chain data to enable continuous monitoring
and predictive maintenance. The new capability includes:
- Maintenance Technician Workbench: Helps maintenance
technicians to quickly and easily access relevant work based on
assignment or skill, while also providing insights into service
history and supporting seamless collaboration with other workers.
With a single mobile user interface for all technician work
execution, customers can make faster maintenance decisions that
increase productivity, reduce downtime, ensure more frequent
first-time fixes, optimize backup inventory, and enhance asset
reliability.
"Being a premium player in the automotive aftermarket industry
places a critical focus on our manufacturing and maintenance
operations. Our customers expect a consistently high-quality
product and an on-time delivery, which is increasingly challenging
with the continuous supply chain disruptions around the world,"
said Stefano Mariani, head of IT,
Alcar Ruote. "With these new capabilities in Oracle Cloud
Manufacturing and Oracle Cloud Maintenance, our production
operators will be better able to work with speed and accuracy,
while capturing all of the key data associated with that work. This
will help us improve the quality of our products, reduce costs, and
increase the output of our operations."
Oracle Cloud SCM helps organizations seamlessly connect supply
chain processes and quickly respond to changing demand, supply, and
market conditions. With new features added every quarter, Oracle
Cloud SCM helps customers create a resilient supply network and
processes that can outpace change.
