Impact on Demand


Challenges of ECO Implementation

Lack of Visibility into impact of ECOs on manufacturing Cost of Material Disposition (Scrap, Rework etc) Supplier liability / cancellation costs

Collaboration challenges Distributed manufacturing across multiple sites Outsourced manufacturing with various subcontractors

Material Disposition Challenges Coordinating material disposition Benchmarking, analysis and optimization

Impact of ECOs Downward spike in demand of items Inventory may be hedged to high levels Open orders need to be cancelled Quantities at subcontractors need to be disposed

Introducing ECOLens – Goals and Business Values


Goals

Minimize excess inventory & obsolescence cost Reduce ECO implementation cycle time Identify and mitigate risks associated with ECOs

and product transitions Facilitate faster analysis and effective decisions

Business Process with ECO Lens

Extract and make ECOs available for analysis Focus on specific ECO Lines (Affected Items)

Filter out ECOs with a specific Reason Code Filter out ECO Lines with a specific lifecycle phase such as

Prototype Filter out ECO lines releasing new items

Extract ERP Data Specific Item Attributes such as Standard Cost, Planner, Buyer etc. Inventory Data such as “On Hand” by Site/Warehouse Purchasing Data such as Open POs, PO details WIP Data such as open work orders MRP Data such as Planned Orders, Gross requirements etc. Where-used data

Business Process with ECO Lens

Monitoring by ECO Lens

ECO updates, inside Agile, before release Status updates Addition/deletion of ECO Lines

Change in ECO Line status, inside Oracle, after release Specific ECO Line being implemented ECO being implemented

Significant change in Total Disposition Cost Change in Supply/Demand Scenario

Significant change in Effectivity date Any new ECO Conflict due to latest MRP run


ECO Lens in a Nutshell

Highly configurable browser-based application Deploys without production downtime Pulls ECOs from Agile and Supply/Demand information from ERP

systems like Oracle Apps Ability to import supply/demand data retrieved from other ERP

systems or from subcontractors in text files Supports multiple organizations Creates default optimization scenarios Provision to create what-if scenarios and refine existing scenarios Manipulate material disposition at a granular level Considers the demand and supply for both MRP and ASCP

planning

“ “ECO Lens recovered its cost many times over in terms of ECO Lens recovered its cost many times over in terms of reduced E&O inventory within the first few weeks after reduced E&O inventory within the first few weeks after deployment. The instant availability of the cost-impact of deployment. The instant availability of the cost-impact of ECOs is a priceless resource for both engineers and ECOs is a priceless resource for both engineers and materials personnel to gauge the feasibility of each ECO.” materials personnel to gauge the feasibility of each ECO.”
