AVATA Express & Oracle’s Supply Chain Planning Solution

AVATA Express Solutions

For over 15 years, AVATA has been focused on driving innovation with Oracle’s Supply Chain Planning tools across all industries. We’ve taken the combined experiences and best practices of literally hundreds of implementations and created AVATA Express solutions.

AVATA Express is our accelerated solution program that is industry and/or solution specific. An Express solution includes process templates, training material with pre-built UPK content, and pre-configured applications. AVATA Express solutions can be implemented either on-premise or in the Cloud and compliment Oracle applications.

S&OP Express

Organizations today continue to struggle with balancing demand and supply over a longer horizon and understanding all the impacts and trade-offs between the shorter-term tactical planning and long term strategic planning necessary to meet financial expectations, capital budgeting, market fluctuations and company portfolio changes.

AVATA’s S&OP Cloud Express was specifically designed to vastly reduce the time required to implement a best-practice S&OP/IBP solution without sacrificing quality while achieving financial and operational improvements quickly.

The AVATA approach has been proven time over time, by providing a process and configuration that is the “Best-Fit” for for our clients. We understand that each organization is different in the maturity levels of key elements that drive a successful S&OP process.

Our approach starts with an assessment of the critical requirements that support a fully integrated solution utilizing Oracle’s S&OP Cloud application. We help our clients establish the right configuration, processes and outcomes of the S&OP Cloud offering which allows for speed to value and early adoption of the integrated solution.

Benefits of S&OP Cloud Express:

Utilizes Best Business Practices and our proven Roadmap
Best-Fit Process
Standard dashboards for each step of the process
Fast implementation
Low cost of ownership through cloud deployment
Standard technology
Faster, more accurate response to market /
demand fluctuations
The only automated planning system that can integrate with legacy planning data systems through AVATA’s eLync

Simply Put: S&OP Cloud Express aligns and synchronizes your short-term performance with your long-term strategic financial expectations. Oracle S&OP Cloud is the vehicle that allows an organization to project performance on a monthly basis against the long-term strategic plan.

Through the S&OP Cloud application, leaders will identify future strategic gaps and have time to implement gap closing actions.

Inventory Manager

Technology for inventory optimization often requires complex optimization solutions driven by specialized software, specialized skills to implement, and are often high risk endeavors. The AVATA Inventory Manager (AIM) is a prebuilt solution that provides insights into inventory imbalances in a simple solution which works within the tool you already use for Demand Planning, is simple to understand, and is comparatively a low-cost, low-risk solution for improving inventory health across your supply chain network.

Scheduling Board Cloud

Scheduling is the final step in a closed-loop planning process that ensures that our actions are consistent with financial and operational objectives. Production scheduling software can sometimes be overly complex and result in users backsliding into spreadsheet or other manual tools. AVATA’s Scheduling Board Cloud provides a straightforward and simple way to manage the schedule, respond to change, and keep plant floor activities in line with the plan.

Producing the right product at the right time, that’s what we want. Keeping stocks low, customers happy, and our plants running as efficiently as possible. The Scheduling Board Cloud engine will sequence production orders on a timeline and an interactive Gantt Chart. Schedulers can define upfront the ideal order sequence for the engine to incorporate product wheels (make white paint before blue) or sequencing desired setups.

Solution Benefits:

Automatic sequencing
Creation of pre-defined production campaigns
Ad-hoc schedule changes bydrag and drop on interactive Gantt chart
Demand and Supply Pegging to link demand with production
Maintenance of shop floor calendar
Graphical KPI Reporting which can be configured on the fly
Flexible scenario management allows the users to define, name,compare multiple scenario’s
and to pick the final scenario to publish
Graphical KPI configuration allows quick scenario analysis and highlight possible pain points in the schedule
Oracle Cloud Connector lets you send back planned ordersas scheduled work orders into Oracle’s Supply Chain Cloud
Deployed as PaaS or On-premise

Logistics Network Optimization – a Vital Link in the Supply Chain

Transportation management is different from other processes in the supply chain as many of those processes happen only once, but transportation must be addressed again and again throughout the life cycle of product development and delivery. With a shortage of capacity, tighter regulations, reduced staffing, and shrinking IT budgets, framed against a backdrop of increased customer demand, it is more important than ever to have a strategic and dynamic supply chain that can quickly adapt and optimize activities in a feasible and executable way.

The AVATA Logistics Network Optimization (LNO) environment allows for distribution network modeling decisions to be made from a holistic perspective by giving companies complete end-to-end supply chain visibility. As solutions are explored and results simulated, decisions can be vetted to understand their total effect on the supply chain. The ability to manage and simulate the entire supply chain enables you to move from a static collection of discrete points and events to a dynamic, connected “DATA CHAIN” that flows and adapts with ever changing supply chain events and business conditions.

The Benefits of Logistics Network Optimization:

LNO, leveraging Oracle’s SCM and logistics suite of products, solves complex transportation network problems, improves agility and responsiveness and enables continuous refinement. A strategic supply chain with the visibility, capability and fluidity to execute more competitively results in a host of efficiencies.

Reduced logistics costs
Improved distribution network and asset utilization
Increased inventory turns
Improved customer delivery compliance
Increased carrier capacity and collaboration
Improved cost to service
Reduced cross functional waste
Increased visibility to out of plan/network activity to promote root cause awareness and corrective action
Supply chain resiliency – ability to survive, adapt, and grow during turbulent change

AVATA Express solutions include predefined data sets and feature sets pre-configured to peer industry best practices. While templates for rapid software deployment exist across service providers, AVATA Express solutions have one key differentiator: they are pre-configured, but designed with flexibility to support planning nuances critical to your unique competitive processes. “Pre-built yet adaptable” is a critical feature as your organization matures and the requirements of the solution mature with you over time.
