Defining Plan Types in Oracle ASCP (Advanced Supply Chain Planning)

Oracle ASCP (Advanced Supply Chain Planning) provides different plan types to optimize supply
chain operations. These plans help businesses manage demand, supply, inventory, and production
scheduling efficiently.

Page 1: Overview of Plan Types in ASCP

Oracle ASCP supports multiple planning approaches, allowing businesses to choose the best method
based on their supply chain complexity and operational goals.

1. Global Supply Chain Plan

✔ Multi-Organization Planning – Covers the entire supply chain across multiple locations.
✔ Centralized Decision-Making – Helps optimize sourcing, production, and distribution.
✔ Constraint-Based Optimization – Considers capacity, lead times, and supplier constraints.
✔ Best for Large Enterprises – Ideal for companies with multiple warehouses, factories, and
suppliers.

2. Subset Plan

✔ Single-Organization Planning – Focuses on a specific factory, warehouse, or distribution center.


✔ Localized Optimization – Helps manage inventory and production at a smaller scale.
✔ Faster Execution – Runs quicker than global plans due to limited scope.
✔ Best for Mid-Sized Businesses – Suitable for companies with regional supply chains.

3. Master Scheduling Plan

✔ Demand-Driven Planning – Uses sales forecasts and customer orders to drive production.
✔ Production Scheduling – Helps manufacturers plan assembly and resource allocation.
✔ Best for Manufacturing Companies – Ideal for businesses with complex production workflows.

Page 2: Choosing the Right Plan Type

Selecting the right ASCP plan type depends on business needs, supply chain complexity, and
operational goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Plan Type

Factor Global Plan Subset Plan Master Scheduling Plan

Scope Multi-organization Single organization Production-focused

Optimization Constraint-based Localized Demand-driven

Execution Speed Slower (large-scale) Faster (small-scale) Medium

Best for Large enterprises Mid-sized businesses Manufacturers

✔ Use Global Plans for multi-location supply chains.


✔ Use Subset Plans for regional inventory management.
✔ Use Master Scheduling Plans for manufacturing optimization.

Page 3: Plan Execution & Optimization


Once a plan type is selected, Oracle ASCP runs planning simulations to optimize supply chain
operations.

Plan Execution Steps

1️⃣ Define Planning Organizations – Set up inventory locations for supply chain planning.
2️⃣ Configure Demand Planning – Establish forecast models for demand prediction.
3️⃣ Set Up Supply Planning – Define sourcing rules, supplier constraints, and lead times.
4️⃣ Enable Constraint-Based Optimization – Configure capacity constraints and resource availability.
5️⃣ Run Planning Simulations – Perform what-if analysis to optimize supply chain decisions.

Continuous Improvement

✔ Scenario Simulations – Test different planning strategies.


✔ Performance Benchmarking – Compare past and current results.
✔ Supply Chain Optimization – Refine processes for efficiency.
