Standard Oracle GOP Process Xilinx Confidential

Xilinx Gates in GOP Process Is part/whs set up as “auto release?” Yes: does schedule ship date meet auto release criteria No: Does planner agree with Schedule Ship Date? Is calendar date blocked? Is order on hold? Is order unusually large? Do we want to force a particular schedule date to happen (ATP Override?) Xilinx Confidential

Demand Management Form Xilinx Confidential

Getting to 100% Auto Release Oracle Need to consider alternate boms, substitute components in ATP/GOP algorithm. Lack of this functionality causes overly conservative commitments. In semiconductor mfg, this is needed to recognize bin downgrades, alternate mask sets. ATP Algorithm needs to recognize that an order due 3 months from now can be satisfied with a wafer start. Allow finished goods to show as available for any new orders. Xilinx Data Maintenance. Specifically sourcing rules, and BOMs. Our current BOM structure does not handle some new products / military scenarios. We are working on a new item/bom management system that will give us this. Lot specific yields for new products. Xilinx Confidential

Lessons Learned Need a way to validate / build confidence in production data prior to exposing to customers Develop metrics and publish progress We gave prizes to the first planning teams to hit 3 different milestones Need to build planners’ confidence in ATP ‘black box’ by developing an understanding of true problems vs. perceived problems or gross generalizations. Until we could explain each situation (which was a long process), anything that did not fit planners’ mindset was judged as “ATP is wrong.” Incremental fixes / enhancements help zero in on the issues Data maintenance and reporting that identifies data problems is helpful Xilinx Confidential
