Join this webinar to learn how Oracle Fusion’s Project-Driven Supply Chain can streamline operations, cut costs, and align every supply chain transaction with your project goals—transforming how project-centric industries manage materials, costs, and compliance.
Overview and other details
Abstract:
Oracle Fusion’s Project-Driven Supply Chain (PDSC) offers a transformative solution for integrating supply chain operations with project-centric execution, eliminating the need for siloed organizational structures. By embedding project attributes (e.g., Project Number, Task Number) into every supply chain transaction—from procurement to manufacturing—PDSC ensures costs, workflows, and inventory are tightly aligned with project objectives.
Key capabilities include:
- Project-Specific Inventory Management: Enables segregation of inventory by project and task within a single organization, avoiding physical separation. For example, a telecommunications firm can manage materials for multiple tower constructions within the same warehouse while ensuring precise allocation.
- Contextualized Transactions: All supply chain documents (purchase orders, work orders, transfer orders) are linked to projects, ensuring accurate cost allocation and compliance. This is critical for industries like construction, where materials must align with project phases.
- Financial Integration: Seamless integration with Oracle Project Portfolio Management (PPM) allows real-time tracking of supply chain costs as project expenditures. This visibility supports proactive budget adjustments and reduces reconciliation efforts.
Industry Applications:
– Manufacturing: Supports contract manufacturers in managing concurrent client projects without resource commingling.
– Asset-Intensive Sectors: Facilitates compliance and traceability for capital projects, such as pipeline construction or pharmaceutical facility builds.
Operational Benefits:
– 30% reduction in cost reconciliation time (e.g., Roeslein & Associates case study).
– 20% decrease in inventory costs through centralized, project-striped inventory pooling.
Learning Objectives:
- Overview of Projects Suite of Modules
- Challenges when Projects and Supply Chain are not integrated
- Project Driven Supply Chain – Overview
- Project Driven Supply Chain – Design Considerations
