Expeditionary Combat Support System (ECSS) Oracle R12 Supply Chain Project

Expeditionary Combat Support System (ECSS) Oracle R12 Supply Chain Project

Personal Intro Former E&Y and Oracle employee Development Lead on Alcoa Oracle Project; Over $1 billion project budget 28 businesses Global implementation Standardize finance Lean and Complex Discrete Manufacturing Functional Lead on ECSS Phase I, Base Supply Currently at Select Comfort

DoD Modernization All branches of Armed Forces received project budgets as part of Stimulus Modernize Supply Chain; reduce costs and increase reaction time Support every contingency Implement standard, easy to use tools and techniques U.S. Military active in 70 different countries on any given day; active operations in over 120 countries a year

Air Force (AF) and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Air Force does little traditional manufacturing, but has a complex Repair Service and Supply Chain accounting for about $30 Billion of business a year Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and Service provided by U.S. Supply Systems; billions of dollars in sales and service to 160 countries Move from Cold War Supplies -> Special Forces Expeditions

Implementation Strategy Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software There s an App for that Initially chose Best of Bread tools, then decided it was too costly to integrate them Chose Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) R12 Applications

Project Quantifiers Replace 451 Legacy IT Systems Replace 12,000 Interfaces Support 250,000 Users 10 Year, 4 Phase Project

Project Methodology Gather Requirements Configure Oracle Applications Demonstrate Applications via Test Scenarios Document Gaps Map Requirements to Test Scenarios to Gaps

Business Issues Transportation Planning Navy transports slowly but cost effectively Air force transports quickly but expensively Service based upon use for example, flights over water versus desert Many transactions need to be performed off-line; i.e. receiving material Providing a summary view of Supply Government is notorious for losing things; i.e. FEMA

Flow of Material in/out of Base

Depot Repair Process Aircraft and Asset maintenance Service Request Customer Service Agent checks Oracle Knowledge Management for resolution Determine Repair Type: Repair and Return Loaner, Repair and Return Exchange Replacement Refurbishment

Depot Repair Process Complete Order Management RMA and/or Sales Order Line Create Oracle WIP Job or Task WIP Job for multiple sequential steps (router) and material use (BOM) Task: Non-costed simple tasks

Base Supply Requisition Process

Shipping Catch Up Hurry up and Wait Requisitioned, Approved, Stockpiled and Order put on Hold Materials distributed or consumed off-line Pick Release runs in batch and releases sales orders Ship Confirm confirms shipments in batch

Planning Base Supply

Work in Process Simple Manufacturing Work Orderless Completion Lean Manufacturing using Kanban Flow Manufacturing Pull Catch Up Complex Manufacturing BOM and Routing Push

United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) The mission of USTRANSCOM is to provide air, land and sea transportation for the Department of Defense Air Force s Air Mobility Command Navy s Sealift Command Army s Surface Deployment and Distribution Command

Oracle Transportation Planning Plan Shipments, usually more than 1 day lead time to ship Inventory ownership Government Owned, GSA Procured Sometimes SKU level and track inventory in transit Steward, ship/handle as owner, GL different Manage the inventory: BOL, Hazard Code, etc. Shipper: LPN or tracking code.

Oracle Transportation Planning Truck focused Domestic centric Discrete packaged items, not bulk Load consolidation Parcels -> LTL LTL -> Full Truckload Combine Trips into Routes
