How OPM benefits your business?

Purpose of OPM
In my previous post, Understanding OPM, we have
briefly touched upon what Process Manufacturing
is all about and how it could be synchronized
with the day to day plant operations. In this
blog entry well look at how the entire
manufacturing process (lets call it
manufacturing for now) is divided procedurally,
strengths and usefulness of OPM solution suite
and a sneak peek into OPM extensions for Endeca.

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

• Flow manufacturing
• Discrete Manufacturing
• Process Manufacturing

• Flow Manufacturing is an innovative manufacturing
  method which synchronizes production with
  customer demand. Flow manufacturing production
  lines are designed to support the inter-mixed
  production of multiple products within a family
  on the same line at a constant rate
• Discrete manufacturing on the other hand is a
  different business altogether. Discrete
  manufacturing is a manufacturing 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.

Oracle Process manufacturing, or batch production
as it is popularly known, is a process of
pressing/mixing/chemical processing/heating/boilin
g 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 form. Every
individual product here is identical in terms of
quality and composition. 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. Oracle Process Manufacturing as a module
is designed exclusively for all the process and
discrete manufacturing industries. Businesses
belonging to these industry vertical either
produce physically similar products in bulk or
customize every individual product as per
customer requirement.

Need Of OPM
Process manufacturers face a distinct set of
challenges. They need precise control over
inventory and manufacturing processes. They need
comprehensive visibility into existing inventory
to scale batches up and down to meet changing
demand. Exact formulations and recipes demand the
strictest compliance with policies on sourcing
and storage. And, because quality is more than
just a customer satisfaction issue, they need the
ability to collect accurate data at every step of
the manufacturing process.

Blink's OPM Solution
Blink's solution of Oracle Process Manufacturing
(OPM) allows process manufacturers to collect
data using radio-frequency (RF) devices to
increase the availability of information on
receiving, shipping, manufacturing and inventory
activity as it happens. With handheld devices,
users can collect data and perform OPM
transactions directly on the shop floor, in the
warehouse and on the loading dock. The
information collected is immediately available to
OPM applications throughout the enterprise to
improve control and visibility of key processes
as they occur.
