Run Flow Manufacturing without other Oracle Applications

Running Oracle Flow Mfg standalone has been done in the past. The company used the applications from a corporate office to design balanced flow lines and inform each plant how to set up their lines. This was a constant changing process asthey had lots of new product and volume changes.

To do this, they implemented an instance of Oracle Manufacturing and Flow. They interfaced their Inventory Master and BOM file from Baan to Oracle. They imported Forecasts directly to be used for line balancing andkanban sizing. If they need to execute within Oracle they would then need to export the inventory transactions back to the legacy system.

Additional data files can be interfaced as needed.
