Lean Manufacturing Pen Demo

World Famous “Hands-on” Pen Manufacturing Demo:
Featuring iStore, CTO, Flow and WMS

“Meet The Experts” Session
Wednesday, 2:30 to 5:30 PM
Moscone West – 2nd flr – Space 2
(Not on the Oracle demo grounds)

This hands-on demonstration highlights Flow Manufacturing and Configurator in a Lean Manufacturing Enterprise. The demonstration begins with a customer, an audience member, ordering a configured-to-order pen using iStore. The sales order is then sent to Order Management and released to manufacturing where a Flow schedule is created. The Flow schedule is executed with two line operations using the HTML Flow Execution Workstation, demonstrating both simple attached documents and video for assembly instructions. Kanban will be executed in the HTML Flow Execution Workstations, using Kanban bins and cards. Bar code scanning and RFID from Warehouse Management System are used in this complete manufacturing process demonstration. Although this demonstration is provided at an executive level, all manufacturing data is built to support the Flow schedule and will be available to allow the audience members to dive deeper into specific Flow Manufacturing features, such as line design and balance, mixed model map workbench and Kanban execution. Come marvel at our use of a forklift in the demo!

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.
