4 Enabling Technologies

5 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 Applications may run as Telnet session on desktop and may be mirrored

6 Oracle Mobile Applications Framework A Java-based applications development framework designed to create UI s suitable for these devices Simplified prompts & input Field level online validation Forms build and adjust based on prior input Multiple language support based on user login Easy to extend

7 Compliance Labeling Support through integration with 3rd Party Print Software Multiple Label Formats registered with Oracle WMS Compliance Labeling Rules built into Oracle Rules Engine On Label Request, appropriate format is selected XML XML Generated and passed to 3rd Party Printing Software

8 Rules Engine Functions Based on user defined rules, the rules engine intelligently suggests material allocations for picking suggests putaway locations for LPNs assigns task types to tasks assigns cost groups to transactions formats labels for printing 8

9 Advanced Material Tracking & Control

10 Lot and serial attribute features Populate attributes Populating attributes at lot and serial creation Maintain attributes Enabling maintenance of attributes Use attributes Querying by attribute Pick and putaway Rules Transfer attributes 10

11 Sublot Control Scope Lot Split Splitting starting lot into resulting lots Lot Merge Merging starting lots into resulting lot Lot Genealogy Building and displaying Where-used (parent) and Lot source (child) relationships

12 Item Status vs. Material Status Product Lifecycle (item master) Concept Design Engineering Beta Production Maintain / Service Obsolete Material Lifecycle (each individual inventory instance of an item) Received Quality Check Raw Immature Active Shipped Expired Exceptions Hold Defective Rework

13 Assign Status & Put Away Receiver notices quality problems Putaway to nonreservable sub Assign Status at Receipt

14 Workflow Based Exception Management Request Cycle Count User Reports Task Error User Indicates Reason for Error Place Location on Hold Corrective Action Workflow Started Notify Customer Service Page Supervisor

15 Cost Groups Bulk Case Each Receiving HazMat - RM HazMat - MRB HazMat - Cons S1 Refrigerated - RM Refrigerated - MRB Refrig - Cons S1 High Value - RM High Value - MRB Inspection Maintain different accounts for: Raw Materials MRB Consigned Inventory (each Supplier) Store them in the same physical location! Shipping Rules based cost group assignment allows material to be stored in different material valuation & holding accounts, even at different item costs even though the material is in the same physical warehouse zone.

16 Business Flows

17 Example Put Away Rules Rule 1: If material was rejected during PO Inspection... Rule 2 : If material is Hazardous... Rule 3 : If material has designated flow rack, and it has empty capacity... Rule 4 : By default, based on available capacity... Rejected HazMat Each Pick Bulk Pick

18 Cross-Docking Put Away Scan LPN Outbound Staging Cross Dockin g Opport unity Put Away directly to Outbound Staging Lane Verify Drop Location Pick Release SO Line Storage

19 System Processes Min-Max Subinventory Replenishment Process MinMax Create Allocations Run Min-Max Report Set Assign Task Type Split/Merge Tasks User Processes Dispatch Task Accept Next Task Load Material Drop Material

21 Cartonization Advantages Suggest optimal packing configuration based on Pallet Large Box Small Box Drum Bucket Rhino Bag Liquid Miscellaneous packing requirements carton weight capacity and volume item dimensions 21

22 Material Allocation ExampleThis order will use a Strategy Search Order Start Strategies What customer is the order for? Rules Business World Jam Mfg. Other This Strategy defines that the Avg Rule is applied first, then then the Any Rule The associated Rule defines what is a Good grade for the item 1) Excellent Grade 2) Good Grade Strategy based on Customer, others could use one based on Item class, etc. 1) Average Grade 2) Any Grade 1) Any Grade 22

23 Task Management Rules Based Task Type Determination Group Tasks by Pick Methodology Merge Tasks for Bulk Picking Split tasks to meet equipment capacity Order Tasks by Locator Picking Order (Pick Path) Dispatch Task based on user & equipment qualifications
