Discrete Manufacturing and Advanced Supply Chain Planning

Oracle eAM streamlines the coordination between production scheduling and

maintenance scheduling. The load production downtime process generates

equipment resource downtime caused by scheduled maintenance. The downtime is

included by production scheduling as a constraint on its scheduling.

When a production plan is generated by Oracle Master Scheduling / MRP or Oracle

Advanced Supply Chain Planning, equipment resource downtime can also be

included as a capacity constraint. In this release, Oracle Shop Floor Management

leverages Oracle eAM’s operation log data to identify production equipment down

time for its production planning and scheduling.

Overview of the Process and Discrete Manufacturing Integration

Enterprise Asset Management integrates with Process and Discrete Manufacturing, enabling your maintenance environment to identify Enterprise Asset Management asset relationships with production equipment. This feature associates an asset or many assets to the production equipment located in a discrete or process manufacturing organization. After establishing, you can view the resource usage (jobs, batches, or FPOs) emanating from production, associated with a maintainable asset. In discrete manufacturing organizations, you can view maintenance equipment downtime requirements and their affect on capacity during production planning and scheduling.

Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM) retrieves maintenance downtime information for a resource from maintenance Work Orders. OPM loads this information into OPM's resource calendar; it is visible within Advanced Planning and Scheduling and Manufacturing Planning.

This integration includes the following topics:

This window enables you to view resource demand (discrete work orders, batches, or FPOs) associated with the current Asset Number. All Work Orders that use the asset as a resource appear.

6. Choose OK to return to the Define Asset Number window.

To view resource usage from the Asset Numbers page

You can view resource demand within Maintenance Super User.

1. Navigate to the Asset Management page, and query an Asset Number. See: Obtaining Asset Number Information.

2. Choose Go.3. In the Results region, select the radio button next to your Asset Number, then select Details from

the Select Asset Number: list of values to view associated Asset Number, Attributes, and Activity details.

4. Optionally select View Equipment Details if the current Asset Number has associated equipment details. This link is next to the Equipment Serial Number field, and is available if there are associated equipment details. You can view all equipment details in the production organization to which this Asset Number is linked.

You can also view resource demand (Work Orders) associated with the Asset Number. This information is the integration with Process and Discrete Manufacturing.

5. Optionally select the View Resource Usage glasses icon to view all Work Orders created against the current Asset Number for the current equipment resource. This enables you to view resource demand (discrete work orders, batches, or FPOs) associated with the Asset Number. This information is eAM's integration with Process and Discrete Manufacturing.

Production Equipment Downtime

You can view equipment downtime, associated with a specific resource, caused by maintenance Work Orders. To view resource downtime, execute the Load Production Equipment Maintenance Downtime process to load downtime information into a simulation set. Resource downtime is viewed within the Department Resource Capacity Change window.

To generate production equipment downtime

Note: If your manufacturing and maintenance organizations are separate, execute this process within the manufacturing organization.

1. Navigate to the Load Production Equipment Maintenance Downtime window.

Load Production Equipment Maintenance Downtime

2. Enter the following parameters:o Simulation Set: Select a Simulation Set.o Run Option: You can optionally load or purge maintenance downtime information.o Include Unreleased Maintenance Work Orders: Select whether to include Unreleased

maintenance Work Orders. Valid values are Yes and No.o Firm Maintenance Work Orders Only: Select whether to include firmed maintenance work

Orders. Valid values are Yes and No.o Department: Optionally select a Department to indicate that Work Orders associated with the

selected department are included. See: Defining Departments and Resources.o Resource: Optionally select a Resource to indicate that Work Orders associated with the selected

Resource are included. See: Defining Departments and Resources.3. Choose OK.4. Choose Submit.

To define a resource instance

You can optionally define each resource instance (specific employee name or piece of equipment) eligible for use.

If the resource is a person resource, only certain people may be qualified to act as the resource. For example, only certain people are trained to operate a drill press. Before you can specify person resource instances, you must perform the following tasks:

Optionally, define the person resource skills needed in the Resources window, Skills region (see: Defining a Resource).

Specify the employees that have the necessary skills for the resource (see: To group employees by resource).

If the resource is an equipment resource, only certain serial-numbered equipment items are usable as the resource. Before you can specify equipment resource instances, you must perform the following tasks:

Create an equipment item by selecting the Equipment attribute in the Organization Item window, Physical Attributes tab (see: Defining Items , Oracle Inventory User's Guide).

Set up serial number control for the equipment item (see: Setting Up Serial Number Control, Oracle Inventory User's Guide).

Define the equipment item as an equipment type for the resource (see: To group similar types of equipment by resource).

1. Find the resources assigned to a department by navigating to the Departments window, then choosing Resources.

2. Select a resource, then choose Instances.

The Instances window contains different fields depending upon whether you select an equipment or person resource.

3. If you select an equipment resource:o Enter the equipment item that acts as the resource.o Enter the serial number of the specific resource instance. Valid serial numbers for the equipment

item appear in the list of values.

4. If you select a person resource, enter the employee number of the person that acts as the resource.

5. Save your work.

Important: The number of resource instances must match the number of units specified in the Resources window.

To assign shift information for the resource

1. Navigate to the Shifts window. Do this by choosing the Shifts button from the Resources window.2. Enter a shift number to assign to the resource.

The shifts available to assign to the resource are those assigned to the workday calendar assigned to the organization.

3. Choose the Capacity Changes button to define capacity changes for a shift.

To define capacity changes

Capacity modifications can add or delete a day, or add or reduce capacity for a shift.

1. Navigate to the Capacity Changes window. Do this by choosing the Capacity Changes button from the Shifts window.

2. Enter or select a simulation set for the capacity change. Use simulation sets for capacity requirements planning in Oracle Capacity. See: Creating Simulation Sets, Oracle Capacity User's Guide.

3. Select the action to take for the department resource:

Add: Adds a workday and capacity changes.

Delete: Deletes a workday for this department resource.

Add or Reduce Capacity: Add or reduce capacity for a resource shift. The capacity change can fall outside a shift time, so you can add time to a shift. To reduce capacity, enter negative numbers.

4. Enter the number of resource units to increase or decrease capacity (if applicable). Make sure to use a negative number if you are reducing capacity.

5. Enter an effective date and time from which the capacity change starts. If you are adding or reducing capacity, you must also enter a date and time on which the change is no longer in effect.

If you are adding a shift's workday, this is the date of the new workday. If you are deleting a shift's workday, this is the date of the deleted workday. If you are changing capacity, this is the first day the resource shift's capacity changes.

6. Select the reason for the resource capacity change from the list of values. See: To define a reason for a resource capacity change.

7. Review the Resource Instance Change region for information on the specific equipment capacity changes.

Detail Tab

These fields identify the resource instances impacted by the capacity change.

Source Tab

This tab provides detailed information (the downtime source, organization, work order, and operation) about resource downtime due to scheduled maintenance at the resource instance level.

For the resource downtime information to appear in the Source tab, you must execute the Load Production Equipment Maintenance Downtime process. See: Production Equipment Downtime, Oracle Enterprise Asset Management User's Guide.

To define the resource tolerance

Situations arise where an excess load needs to be placed on a resource. Use the Tolerance Fences window to define the acceptable excess load (tolerance percentage) for each resource, based on the number of days in advance of the need.

1. Navigate to the Tolerance Fences window by choosing Tolerance Fences from the Resources window.

2. Enter the number of days in advance of the resource need.3. Enter the acceptable excess load (tolerance percentage) for the resource given the number of days in

advance of the manufacturing capacity need.4. If the tolerance percentage changes as the number of days in advance changes, then enter as many

combinations of days in advance and tolerance percentage as needed.5. Save your work.
