WMS - An Implementation Nightmare?
Warehouses and Distribution centres are the pivotal points in the Supply Chain that facilitate the balance between supply and demand
Business Continuity in warehouses is vital and any interruption will cause a ripple effect across the Supply Chain
The WMS is a key enabler of Supply Chain Execution activity
WMSs have traditionally proven to be an implementation nightmare
40% of WMS implementations fail
The success of Oracle WMS is dependent on the success of its implementation and customer satisfaction
This presentation will provide an overview of two major new components of the Oracle e-Business suite:
Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications (Oracle MSCA)
Oracle Warehouse Mangement (Oracle WMS)
The presentation will:
Position these products within Oracle’s overall Supply Chain Management solution
Introduce the common Mobile Technology foundation used by these products
Introduce and position Oracle MSCA
Describe the additional business requirements required for a full e-Logistics solution and the challenges associated with implementation of traditional bolt-on WMS solutions
Introduce Oracle WMS, review the major features in some detail and discuss how Oracle WMS, togetherwith the rest of the e-Business suite, provides a better solution
Summarize the differences between Oracle MSCA and Oracke WMS
Summarize the business advantages and Q&A.

2017/4/17
Oracle Mobile Transaction Server
A “Forms Server” for industrial (barcode) devices connected via an RF LAN
Standards based , Telnet over TCP/IP
Device independent - Over 20 devices already certified from Intermec, Symbol and LXE
Scalable - Multiple servers
Supportable - Applications may run as Telnet session on desktop and may be “mirrored”
WHAT IS ORACLE MOBILETRANSACTION SERVER ?
IN SIMPLE TERMS, IT IS A SERVER THAT TAKES STANDARD
R11i FORMS AND ALLOWS THEM TO BE USED THROUGH AN
RF DEVICE

11. Oracle Mobile Applications Framework
RA8000/ESA12000
2017/4/17
Oracle Mobile Applications Framework
A Development framework designed to create UI’s suitable for these devices
Java based
Device independent
Intuitive UI
Field level validation
DFI’s and 2D barcodes
Multiple languages
Extensible
LETS LOOK AT FEW OF THE FEATURES MENTIONED …
INTUIITVE UI : THE UI WILL DEFAULT CERTAIN DATA BASED ON
PREVIOUSLY ENTERED DATA
FIELD LEVEL VALIDATION: THE SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW
YOU ENTER INVALID DATA.
DFI’s - DATA FIELD INDENTIFIER
GIVES THE SYSTEM THE ABILITY TO IDENTIFY IF THE CURSER IS IN THE WRONG FIELD.
EG, CURSER IN LOT FIELD / ITEM NUMBER IS SCANNED. DATA
WILL BE ENTERED IN THE ITEM NUMBER FIELD.
USES DFI AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BARCODE
