  1. Industry specific cover image Connecting the Dots – Supply Chain and Grower Management Joel Schipper, Principal Solutions Architect

  2. To booking a sale Against WIP and harvests in progress Linking the plant forecast Single stage crops Multi-stage plants The Challenge

  3. Added Complexity • Multi-Stage Crops • Seedling • Initial plant stage, e.g., 3” pot or initial growth • Secondary plant stages, e.g., • 1 gallon can • 5 gallon can • Final plant to be sold • One “harvest” per stage • New “harvest” cycle for each subsequent stage • Must carry history and cost through all stages

  4. Forecasting the Demand Planning the required Crop Planting Defining a “harvest” process (“BOM and Router”) Defining multi-stage Plant Relationships Starting a “harvest” in EnterpriseOne Providing “harvest” visibility to Sales Maintaining plant “WIP” visibility Managing plant transformations for multi-stage plants and crops What’s Needed?

  5. What’s Needed? • Forecasting Demand • Planning the required Crop Planting • Defining a “harvest” process (“BOM and Router”) • Defining multi-stage Plant Relationships • Starting a “harvest” in EnterpriseOne • Providing “harvest” visibility to Sales • Maintaining plant “WIP” visibility • Managing plant transformations for multi-stage plants and crops

  6. Demand Consensus • Statistical Forecasts from JDEdward Sales History • Some items monthly; others weekly (perennials) • Forecast input from other stakeholders, such as Sales, Production, Customers • Web and Excel review and input • Forecast Hierarchies • Key to executive acceptance of forecasts

  7. Location Location Location Channel Channel Channel Product Product Product Managing Stakeholder Input Key Customers Sales Operations Demand Points 89% 93% 68% Forecast Reconciliation based upon accuracy Enterprise Forecast

  8. Demand Consensus Graphical representation of sales history, stakeholder forecast history, and stakeholder forecast. Internal and external stakeholders can add value and increase forecast accuracy by forecast collaboration via the web, spreadsheets and any other time series of data Flexibility with navigation through multiple user defined hierarchies and various units of measure

  9. Demand Consensus Comparison view of various stakeholder forecast

  10. Demand Consensus Demand Consensus Excel front end enables users to download various forecast versions, make changes locally, and upload changes, which are then immediately visible to all other stakeholders.

  11. Define Demand Points Database Model • Hierarchy • Units • Horizon • Time Buckets • Aggregation Levels Location Channel Product Gaining Consensus at any Level

  12. What’s Needed? • Forecasting Demand • Planning the required Crop Planting • Defining a “harvest” process (“BOM and Router”) • Defining multi-stage Plant Relationships • Starting a “harvest” in EnterpriseOne • Providing “harvest” visibility to Sales • Maintaining plant “WIP” visibility • Managing plant transformations for multi-stage plants and crops

  13. Legacy Plant Planning Systems • Need Demand forecast from EnterpriseOne • May know “BOM” or required consumables • May know Operations • Operation sequence (plant, fertilize, spray, prune) • Timing between operations • Calendar timing of key operations • E.g., can only prune in March/April • Would know sequence of multi-stage crops • Able to “back schedule” to earlier stages

  14. Caculate Plant Supply from Forecast Legacy, detailed plant level planning process. Done once or twice a year between Sales and Production. Ideal to link to a “Demand Consensus” process.

  15. Define “BOM” of Consumables Standard “BOM”. Easily imported into EnterpriseOne.

  16. Define Crop Operations The Router for making a 6462 in a 1 gal can (item 6462M). Notice multi-year calendar. Could have plant spacing, environmental info as well

  17. Legacy Systems to EnterpriseOne • Master Data to be mapped and integrated • Periodically updated for changes • Item Master of Plants • Product Structures (Plant BOM’s) • Plant Routers • Attribute and other codes such as work centers in these 3 files

  18. Multi-Stage Crop Relationships “Item tree” relationship that links the items that lead to the creation of the #2 can from a 3” pot that came from a root cutting. Each step is an SKU with a router.

  19. Legacy Systems to EnterpriseOne • Dynamic Data • Pushed to E1 after the planning process: once/twice annually • Planned Order Extraction: the master schedule file • Plant Starts to E1 MRP message workbench • Includes all starts related for an multi-stage plant • Planned order changes due to forecast changes • Revises any previous messages that were not firmed in E1

  20. What’s Needed? • Forecasting Demand • Planning the required Crop Planting • Defining a “harvest” process (“BOM and Router”) • Defining multi-stage Plant Relationships • Starting a “harvest” in EnterpriseOne • Providing “harvest” visibility to Sales • Maintaining plant “WIP” visibility • Managing plant transformations for multi-stage plants and crops

  21. EnterpriseOne MRP • Legacy Plant Planning system loads top level plant starts into the MRP message table • Example: 46902 Gold Coast Juniper #2 Gallon • Lower level plant items are consolidated • Legacy plant planning system consolidates and loads these requirements for earlier stage plants • Example: 46903P 3” potted GC Juniper • New MRP message type for Grower Harvests • Driven by new JDE item type • Allows demand to flow down to related “kit” of soils, fertilizers, containers, stakes, etc.

  22. MRP Message Review

  23. Use New Item and MessageType to recognize “plants” and to release “Grower Harvests” Soil Message Release

  24. Explosion also creates demand for Plant “BOM” items Consumables for a Plant

  25. MRP “Grower Harvest” Message Release • MRP Message Release • Opens Grower Harvest record • Brings in expected quantity and ending date • Harvest defaults remaining fields from Block information • Block definition is identical with plant item/size • Initiates Workflow to track next steps in a business process • Review Harvest record • Attach and release harvest work order • Note: MRP ST/OT Transfer Messages • Still generated for location transfers of finished goods for sales • Grown in one location; sold in another

  26. Grower Management(Background Information) • Grower Management tracks the progress of the crop from planning through harvest, regardless of type of crop. • What and how much will be grown? • Where is the crop being grown? • When will it be ready for harvest? • What cultivation activities such as fertilizing or irrigation need to be done and when? • How much will be harvested? • What is the quality of the harvested crop? • One or more crops (harvests) per year • Or a multi-year crop (e.g., forestry)

  27. Grower Management Handles the Farm and Field • Defines and assign specific origins (blocks, lots, fields) to crops • Tracks progress of cultivation and crops, whether internally or externally owned • Records the use of any chemicals • Understands the costs of growing the crop • Updates and sees entire anticipated harvests to verify consistent supply • Receives a single crop as different SKUs using Product Variants • Creates a history so that good years can be repeated

  28. Harvest Management Track many block and harvest attributes Develop crop estimates for supply planning Manage intended use Mass updating capabilities reduce administration Farming Activities Plan growing activities Track actual growing activities performed Track operational cost Record chemical usage Grower Management Features • Weigh Tag Receipt • Plan receiving activity • Record quality results against receipt • Over-receive • Receive product variants, alternate SKU’s

  29. MRP Message Release “adds” a Harvest record

  30. Operations from Legacy Plant Planning system

  31. Track Details such as Spraying

  32. Track Labor, Consumables, Equipment

  33. Perform Many Other Activities

  34. EnterpriseOne back to Legacy Plant Planning Systems • From Grower Management • Grower Harvests started • Related Work Order number, quantity, date • Grower Harvest completions • Quantity and date received • “Left over” end of season inventory

  35. What’s Needed? • Forecasting Demand • Planning the required Crop Planting • Defining a “harvest” process (“BOM and Router”) • Defining multi-stage Plant Relationships • Starting a “harvest” in EnterpriseOne • Providing “harvest” visibility to Sales • Maintaining plant “WIP” visibility • Managing plant transformations for multi-stage plants and crops

  36. Connecting Growing and Sales • Sales needs visibility into plants that are growing and will be sold in the current season • Make the connection from Grower Mgt to Sales through an inbound “PO” • Grower Harvests are already taken against an on-the-fly PO • Sales can now see the harvest on standard Supply & Demand Inquiry as a “PO”

  37. Sales sees Incoming Harvest Standard S&D Inquiry

  38. Proposed EnterpriseOne Grower Enhancements • New MRP “Grower Harvest” message release • Creates Grower Harvest and related PO line • Informs Sales of current expected harvest quantity and date • PO line is received at weigh tag operation

  39. What’s Needed? • Forecasting Demand • Planning the required Crop Planting • Defining a “harvest” process (“BOM and Router”) • Defining multi-stage Plant Relationships • Starting a “harvest” in EnterpriseOne • Providing “harvest” visibility to Sales • Maintaining plant “WIP” visibility • Managing plant transformations for multi-stage plants and crops

  40. Proposed EnterpriseOne Grower Enhancements • PO line sets up “traditional inventory” lot/location record with zero cost • Allows for WIP inventory and cycle counting • PO receipt “closes out” the traditional inventory quantity • In Grower, do an Operational close by date range over all active work orders in grower harvests

  41. Inventory Availability “WIP” Plants in normal F41021

  42. Detail Availability “WIP” Plants in normal inventory detail

  43. WIP Detailed Inventory ReportEnhancement • Similar to Lot/Location inquiry • Location comments stored as attachments

  44. What’s Needed? • Forecasting Demand • Planning the required Crop Planting • Defining a “harvest” process (“BOM and Router”) • Defining multi-stage Plant Relationships • Starting a “harvest” in EnterpriseOne • Providing “harvest” visibility to Sales • Maintaining plant “WIP” visibility • Managing plant transformations for multi-stage plants and crops

  45. Transform Operation • New Base “Transform” Operation to consume a previously grown plant • Carries forward accumulated attributes, costs, and operational history of the consumed plant to support lifetime track/trace history • Could be last or first WO step • Another use case is doing more work (pruning) to saleable stock

  46. Know More. Do More. Spend Less.
