AIM Methodology

-
AIM 3.1 also known as Aim advantage  ( AIM Stands for Application Implementation Methodology ) is project management methodology used for the implementation of Oracle Ebusiness Suite.

 Some of the Advantages of using AIM are as follows

Oracle's AIM is a proven approach for implementing packaged applications. It comprises a set of well defined processes that can be managed in several ways to guide you through an application implementation project.

AIM provides the tools needed to effectively and efficiently plan, conduct, and control project steps to successfully implement business solutions.

AIM defines business needs at the beginning of the project and maintains their visibility throughout the implementation.

It defines internal, external, and time sensitive business events and maps each event to the responding business and system processes.

Client gains an accurate understanding of the business requirements that need to be focused on during the course of the implementation.


 The Different phases Involved are as follows

 

1) Design
2)Operation analysis
3)Solution Design
4)Build
5) Transition
6) Production

All of the above mentioned phases have associated template provided by Oracle and these templates are used by  the consultants  as deliverables during  the entire tenure of the project . Above Phases can also be described as follows

1) As-is
2) To-Be
3) CRP-1  ( Customer Room Piloting )
4) Gap Analysis
5) CRP-2 ( more CRPs if need be, depends on size of the project)
6)UAT
7)Migration
8)Production
9)Support


Commonly used document templates in the above mentioned phases
•CR010 – Project Management Plan / Project Plan (WM020)
• Overview Training
• RD010 – Organization Structure
• RD020 – Business Requirement Gathering
• RD050 / BR030 – MAP Business Requirements

 Make-to-stock (MTS) In MTS environments, products are created before receipt of a customer order. Customer orders are then filled from existing stock, and then those stocks are replenished through production orders. MTS environments have the advantage of decoupling manufacturing processes from customer orders. Theoretically, this enables customer orders to be filled immediately from readily available stock. It also allows the manufacturer to organize production in ways that minimize costly changeovers and other disruptions. However, there are risks associated with placing finished goods into inventory without having a firm customer order or an established need. These risks tend to limit MTS environments to simple, low-variety, or commodity products whose demand can be forecasted readily.  Assemble-to-order (ATO) In ATO environments, products are assembled from components after the receipt of a customer order. The key components in the assembly or f...

Scheduling ,Reservations and ATP in Oracle Order management

-
Before we start understanding scheduling we need to know certain terms and how they are derived in Oracle. Terminology Understanding the following terms will help you understand how scheduling works in OM. Actual Arrival Date - The date the order line arrives at the customer site. Actual Ship Date - The date the order line is shipped. This date is recorded by the ship confirm action. Arrival Set - A set of order lines which arrive at the same time at the destination. Available to Promise (ATP) - The quantity of current on-hand stock, outstanding receipts and planned production not already committed to sales orders or other sources of demand. ATP Date - The date that a requested quantity will be available to promise. Delivery Lead Time - Time (in days) for items to reach the customer once they are shipped. There are two ways to help system calculate this date. 1) Create a location for the Ship-to address and assign it as the internal location and then define...
