Advanced Supply Chain Planning Overview

Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning provides central supply chain planning and scheduling. It overrides traditional disconnected planning processes or Excel planning spreadsheets by enabling you to perform simultaneous material and capacity planning across multiple facilities and a single planning process. It supports multiple manufacturing processes (lot based, process, discrete, configure-to-order, and project based), and all organizations across a virtual supply chain.
