Process Manufacturing Vs Discrete Manufacturing

Dear All,
I am new to Oracle Applications, it will be very helpful if anyone can guide me on what are the conditions need to be looked at when selecting one of the above two manufacturing with relation to an Automotive spare parts manufacturing company or can i maintain both the process?.
Regards
Naresh

Dear Pavan,
Thanx for responding to my query.
i am completely knew to oracle apps, so my question may be a stupid questio, lets say i have assembly line as well as painting line as in any manufracturing unit, can i implement discrete for assembly line and process for painting line?
Second question : What advantage i would get if i go for discrete mfg for batch products and what would be the bottelnecks if i opt for process? and viceversa
Once again thanks for responding.
Regards
Naresh

Discrete, Repetitive & Process Manufacturing

Hi,
Can discrete, repetitive and process manufacturing operations exist in one SAP client i.e. some products / plants follow discrete manufacturing setup, some products / plants follow repetitive manufacturing setup and some products / plants follow process manufacturing setup? If yes can some one share the control factors for each of the process flows.

Arun

Arun,
There is absolutely no problem in having all the PP Process in a single client. Basically the products would be driven based on the material master defination and the associate PP master data created for the products.

Integration with Process Manufacturing

We are looking at upgrading Financials and Process Manufacturing to R11i early next year. Currently we use i2's Rhythm Factory Planner but are interested in the APS developments.
Which APS modules are available for use with OPM? Also where can I get an indicication of the cost per module?

I've got this info from Oracle. Hope this helps. OPM is integrated with APS now.
1. It uses the advanced planning engine and global ATP.
2. Demand Planning integration is in the works.
3. Manufacturing Scheduling is purely a discrete option and not needed for
OPM.
The pricing of APS for OPM is the same as the standard APS and is priced by Cost of Goods Sold. You may get the price details from your local Oracle sales.

Oracle Process Manufacturing Release 11i

Hi there,
Is there a free version of Oracle Process Manufacturing 11i for download? If so what is the site?
Thanks.

Hi All,
Here I talk a step to explain about Discrete, Flow, Process and project manufacturing process.
Discrete:
1. Assemblies are built in specific (discrete) quantities. These jobs or work orders use specific materials and resources.
Say ship building, job shop companies etc are few examples of discrete.
2. Assemblies that are made in groups or batches.
Discrete Manufacturing is a Batch production situation related to most industries like Engineering
It use routings to schedule job production activities and create operation specific material and resource requirements.
Flow:
Flow manufacturing developed to support 'Lean manufacturing'.
Lean manufacturing concepts include:
JIT, pull, value stream mapping, kanban, single piece flow etc.
This module will enable flow manufacturing concerns.
Ex: Car manufacturing
http://forio.com/simulation/oracle/main.htm?page=background&FD_p=1
http://www.psa-peugeot-citroen.com/en/psa_group/visite/index.html
Process:
It is purely for process manufacturing concern
Ex: Chemical industry, pharmateicals etc jus think of chemical laboratory.
Project:
Projects are used to track costs by specifying revenue and billing methods. Each project can have a set of top level tasks, and a hierarchy of subtasks.
As rightly said ETO is example for project manufacturing
To answer your questions
1- A Steel making Company is under Discrete Manufacturing or not?
Depending the concern manufacturing practice only we can say it as discrete or not.
From the above explanation you can able to understand it.
All discrete industry will adopt few lean manufacturing principles to add value in their process.
2- Can we have Discrete & Process in one organization? because some part of my Org like Discrete Manufacturing and other like Process Manufacturing ?
Yes we can have, say for a final product two or more items may come from both discrete and process types.
Hope it is clear and helpful.
Tks

Rework Process of Process Manufacture

HI,
Can you give me some help on setting up a rework process for process manufacture factory?I don't see some function in PI factory, like reference operation set (trigger point)in discret manufacture factory....I don't know how to make it...thanks..

Hi,
The below mentioned process hold good for Discrete as well as Process manufacturing
Let it be normal routing or master recipe
Open routing and select the operation line item
To assign the Trigger Point function press GOTO MENU and then select Trigger Point Overview
enter trigger point usage and description
Now select trigger point usage line item and click DETAILS menu and select "TRIGGER POINT"
Create Routing Trigger Point Details will appear
Select the check Box="Insert reference operation set"; Sys Status=PCNF; Active=1
now on the top Press the "PARAMETERS BUTTON" assign the group and group counter
come back to the operation overview and save

Special variances in Process Manufacturing

Dear OPM Forum member,
You are in the Oracle Process Manufacturing Community and as a fellow member, I would appreciate your input on leading practices for this case.
A large manufacturer in the Chemicals and Petroleum space has engaged us to collaborate on a footprint to rapidly deploy Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM) globally.
This Company uses four variance calculations not available in OPM. To illustrate, one of them is Manufacturing Yield Variance. The others are for usage, filling and batch. None of these are available in OPM.
We have identified 2 probable solutions – (1) Calculate these variances in a business intelligence tool or report and then adjust the production formulae for accuracy or (2) extend Subledger Accounting by adding these 4 variances to the existing list.
However, if you solutioned a similar requirement, we would like to know what you did to enhance OPM with these special customer calculations. A writeup, if already available would help us greatly.
Thanks,
Sanjib Manna

Sorry for my late reply. I was trying to get my arms around these variances and finally have time to update this thread.
Here is the background.
We have a liquid batch for paint intermediate (Master Rex). Intermediate product is yielded to the Filling batch wherein the liquid is filled in drums or containers to produce the final SKU product. There is a separate costing and production formula for the liquid batch and a separate costing and production formula for filling batch. Here are the details on the variances.
1. What is MANUFACTURING YIELD VARIANCE?
1st, M-rex Theoretical Gallons Available is calculated as - Actual Output / Formula weight per gallon.
In the above, Formula weight per gallon is Total Costing Ingredient Quantity / Yield Product Costing Quantity.
2nd, Manufacturing Yield Calculation is calculated as Planned Quantity - Theoretical Gallons Available.
In the above formula, Planned Quantity = Production Formula Planned Quantity.
Manufacturing Yield Variance = Manufacturing Yield Calculation * Product Standard Cost (M-rex).
2. What is USAGE VARIANCE?
= Sum ((Actual Ingredient 1 Quantity - Planned Ingredient 1 Quantity) * Ingredient 1 Standard Cost) + ........)
3. What is FILLING YIELD CALCULATION?
1st, Filling Theoretical Gallons Available is calculated as M-rex Theoretical Gallons Available. In the current domestic system, the filling batch is automatically spawned from M-rex batch once M-rex batch is completed. Additionally, there are automatic system checks to ensure the M-rex quantity in the spawned Filling batch is same as the parent M-rex batch.
2nd, Filling Yield Calculation is calculated as Filling Theoretical Gallons Available - Actual Gallons.
In the above formula, Actual Gallons = Actual Yield * Filling Formula M-rex Quantity.
Filling Yield Variance = Filling Yield Calculation * Product Standard Cost (M-rex).
4. What is METHODS VARIANCE?
I made a 1000 gallon batch, here is the process assuming a standard cost of $1.00 for ingredients A, B and C and product X.
Cost of making 1000 gallons of product X: 1000 Gallons * $1.00 = $1000
Material cost incurred for using Ingredient A: 50 Kgs * $1.00 = $50
Material cost incurred for using Ingredient B: 100 Kgs * $1.00 = $100
Material cost incurred for using Ingredient C: 800 Kgs * $1.00 = $800
Resource charges incurred for producing X: $30
Methods Variance = $1000 – ($50 + $100 + $800 + $30) = $20.
Thanks in advance,
Sanjib

Scenario for Process Manufacturing..

Dear All,
Our client imports goods and then packages them at their site into different packages and boxes. After that those products are dispatched. The client wants to keep an eye on the status of packaging and for that they require a Manufacturing module.
Can Process Manufacturing be implemented for this scenario or Discreet Manufacturing will be a better option?

Hi
Both the way you can choose.
As an OPM Consultant, I prefer to go with Process Manuf. Module.
In your case
1. Your importing your Finished goods and just doing the packing to these Finished goods
2. Now this Packed FG, your are now selling to the Customers
When choose OPM, Here you need to create Formula/Recipe using this you need to perform a Production Batch.
In Formula, keep your Imported Item as Ingredient and Packege Item as (may be box/Cartoon/Sheet....etc) Ingredient and Lables(if required) also as Ingredient and with these Ingredients now you want to make a desired Finished Goods as PRODUCT using Recipe in Production Supervisor Module to complete your Batch.
Now your Packed FG is ready to Ship to Customer.
Hope you understood and implement this.

Maintenance with Oracle Services or Process Manufacturing ?

Could somebody tell me if Oracle Services is interesting for the maintenance of buildings, vehicles and workhops ? Does Process Manufacturing better suit to this ?

Michael,
service can be used for maintenance if you use some workarounds for the relation between your fixed assets and the installed base. Oracle will launch a new product emphasizing maintenance, it will be called Enterprise asset managementn (eAM).
