How OPM benefit

In my previous post, Understanding OPMall about and how it could be synchronized with the day to day plant operations. In this blog entry we’ll look at how the entire manufacturing process (let’s call it procedurally, strengths and usefulness of OPM solution suiteEndeca.

In terms of ERP, Manufacturing can be divided into 3 types:

1. Flow manufacturing2. Discrete Manufacturing 3. Process Manufacturing

Flow Manufacturing is an innovative manufacturing method which synchronizes production with customer demand. Flow manufacturing production lines are designed to support the interproduction of multiple products within a family on the same line at a constant rate. ItInventory module to replenish kanbans and in Work in Process to complete assemblies without having to create a job or a schedule (work order less job)

Discrete manufacturing on the other hand is a different business altogether. Discrete mamanufacturing process in which distinct items/products(which you can easily count, see and touch) are built or manufactured in discrete batches on manufacturing floor. It creates physical products which go directly to business and consumers, and assemblies that are used by other manufacturers. The resulting product is easily identifiable. It is different from process manufacturing where products are undifferentiated (cannot tell the difference between one product and another) such as oil, nand salt.

Oracle Process manufacturing, or batch production as it is popularly known, pressing/mixing/chemical processing/heating/boiling liquid/semi liquid/solid and powder or raw materials. Once you manufacture a product by using process manufacturing, the output cannot be brought to it's original basic formcomposition. The production process, raw material quantities, packaging pattern etc. is predetermined. The machines combine and give out the product at the rate of multiple units per hour. Human intervention is minimal and confinAll the FMCG companies fall under this category.
