ASCP module forms the core of Oracle's APS suite, with its holistic global supply & distribution planning functionalities. With ASCP you can plan simultaneously for all your manufacturing plants & distribution houses at different granularity of time in a single plan, which considers the latest demand, forecast, sourcing rules, current inventory and production levels. ASCP offers a variety of plan options and plan types, which can be used to model individual business supply chain planning needs. In general, ASCP implementations start with an initial phase of "unconstrained ASCP plans" usage. In due course of time and with planner's readiness towards understanding the inputs, setups and results, one can move forward with "constrained" ASCP plans (e.g. EDD, ECC & Optimized plans).
Why MRP isn't sufficient?
Becasue:
- It is sequential in nature
- It plans based on unconstrained production, storage & transportation capacity
- It does not optimizes the supply recommendations
- It has no decision support capabilities
Few of major features of ASCP module can be listed as:
- Global Visibility
- Rapid ROI
- Supports Centralized & Decentralized planning
- Supports mixed mode manufacturing
- Holistic Plans for high level planning & Detailed scheduling
- Finite Constraint based Planning(CBP) & Scheduling
- Optimization across multiple Objectives
- Online Replan & Simulation capabilities
- Supports Global Order Promising(GOP)
A good definition for ASCP, found in Oracle documentation:
"Oracle ASCP is a comprehensive, Internet based planning solution that can rapidly and significantly improve supply chain performance. ASCP is based on Oracles' Internet computing architecture, third generation Oracle memory based planning engine technology and proven constraint based planning & optimization technology."
