Oracle APS and GOP - Getting To Automated Sales Order Scheduling

This document summarizes Xilinx's implementation of Oracle APS and GOP (Global Order Promising) to automate sales order scheduling.

Xilinx Gates in GOP Process


Is part/whs set up as auto release?
Yes: does schedule ship date meet auto
release criteria
No: Does planner agree with Schedule Ship
Date?

Is calendar date blocked?


Is order on hold?
Is order unusually large?
Do we want to force a
particular schedule date to
happen (ATP Override?)

Getting to 100% Auto Release


Oracle
Need to consider alternate boms, substitute components in ATP/GOP
algorithm. Lack of this functionality causes overly conservative
commitments. In semiconductor mfg, this is needed to recognize bin
downgrades, alternate mask sets.
ATP Algorithm needs to recognize that an order due 3 months from now can
be satisfied with a wafer start. Allow finished goods to show as available for
any new orders.

Xilinx
Data Maintenance. Specifically sourcing rules, and BOMs.
Our current BOM structure does not handle some new products / military
scenarios. We are working on a new item/bom management system that
will give us this.
Lot specific yields for new products.
Xilinx Confidential

Lessons Learned
Need a way to validate / build confidence in production data prior
to exposing to customers
Develop metrics and publish progress
We gave prizes to the first planning teams to hit 3 different milestones

Need to build planners confidence in ATP black box by


developing an understanding of true problems vs. perceived
problems or gross generalizations. Until we could explain each
situation (which was a long process), anything that did not fit
planners mindset was judged as ATP is wrong.
Incremental fixes / enhancements help zero in on the issues
Data maintenance and reporting that identifies data problems is
helpful
