The primary function of the Collaborative Discrete Automation System
(CDAS) architecture is to define the vision for the factory of the future and
to provide an architectural roadmap based on the prevailing business drivers
and emerging technologies for discrete manufacturing.
Manufacturing is moving into an era that requires levels of coordination
and collaboration that existing legacy systems will not be able to deliver. It
will be imperative that all the disparate organizations, business and manufacturing
processes, systems and applications that represent the
manufacturing enterprise be brought together within the context of an all
encompassing architecture. Future factories will be based on an entirely
different set of business drivers and emerging technologies. It will be incumbent
on manufacturers to set business plans and strategies into place
based on an architecture that captures these strategies and processes.
The document discusses the benefits of a new centralized inventory system in Oracle R12 for companies that do both process and discrete manufacturing. It allows such hybrid manufacturers to operate with a single item master and inventory system. This unified system reduces redundant data and maintenance while improving inventory visibility and supply chain integration. It also enables process manufacturers to engage in available-to-promise checking while respecting quality processes through new inventory status attributes.

ARC Operational Excellence Forum in Orlando HighlightsARC Advisory Group
ARC Operational Excellence Forum in Orlando Highlights
ARC’s seventh annual Driving Operational Excellence in Manufacturing
Forum was held in Orlando on February 11 and 12. This is a first in a series
of Insights to cover the considerable amount of information from the Forum.
The forum highlighted the real world experiences of end users in
their goal to achieve operational excellence. ARC also
invited many key industry executives from the leading
supplier companies to share their visions for the
future of collaborative manufacturing management
(CMM). As manufacturers move into a global business
climate that demands the integration of
manufacturing operations and business systems, collaboration
must become commonplace reality.
Collaboration must be a cultural transition that moves beyond the organizational
and functional “silos” that currently exist within most
manufacturing enterprises. Two issues that have a direct impact on how
well manufacturing operations will become integrated with the enterprise
are interoperability and complexity.
ARC’s Driving Operational Excellence
Forum in Orlando focused on the
vision for a collaborative
manufacturing infrastructure
purported by suppliers as well as the
real world experiences of users trying
to achieve operational excellence.

The processes span activities from planning and design through operation and maintenance to retirement. The presentation is copyrighted by ARC Advisory Group.
Current Automation Purchasing Strategies Fall Short
End users today have a paradoxical relationship with their suppliers. Primary
business drivers in today’s environment include maximizing asset
utilization, enhancing plant performance, and reducing capital, maintenance,
and operational expenditures, but many manufacturers employ
purchasing strategies and supplier relationship management strategies developed
during the heyday of the 1980s. Rather than
focusing on achievement of today’s objectives, the
current environment is characterized by an approach
that relies primarily on initial cost, driving discounts

perspective.
CPM (Collaborative Production Management) systems help manufacturers extract hidden value from their existing manufacturing assets. By coordinating production data in real-time, CPM solutions provide visibility into operations and enable continuous performance improvement. While no single vendor can provide all RPM (Real-time Performance Management) needs, effective CPM systems make production data accessible across functions to optimize decision-making and drive innovation. The document discusses how several manufacturers have leveraged CPM solutions to uncover additional production capacity, reduce costs, and sustain operational excellence over time.

Conoco on Path to Reliability Centered Loop Management: Enhancing ROA on the WayARC Advisory Group
Conoco on Path to Reliability Centered Loop Management: Enhancing ROA on the Way
Process manufacturers have invested heavily in manufacturing plants and
automation systems. A typical manufacturing plant may have hundreds or
even thousands of regulatory control loops to enable safe and efficient operations.
The most complex units often have advanced process control and
optimization schemes implemented on top of these regulatory control
loops. All of these systems have a need for
tighter process control to enable more effective
use of assets that result in higher ROA and ultimately
better business performance and
profitability.
Unfortunately, automation effectiveness deteriorates
over time. The lack of a structured
methodology for control loop maintenance is a
contributing factor that erodes performance. A
manufacturing plant typically has only two or three control engineers who
each have responsibility for a large of number of loops, yet they often have
no means of identifying where to focus their efforts so that their work has
the largest economic impact on plant performance.

Collaborative Asset Lifecycle Management Vision and StrategiesARC Advisory Group
Collaborative Asset Lifecycle Management Vision and Strategies
Capital asset management is once again becoming a key managerial concern.
Organizations that have been focusing on developing new products,
expanding services, and making supply chains super-efficient are now facing
challenging markets and expensive overcapacity. Survival demands
that they reduce their cost basis and capital assets, one of their largest expenses,
which are becoming the target for these efforts.
Discussions about postponing asset purchases and eliminating non-critical
assets are dominating many executive agendas. But lack of information
makes any decision a gamble. The importance of an effective capital asset
management strategy that minimizes the need for such discussions and
enables executives to confidently make necessary
decisions is becoming painfully clear.
Manufacturers are used to market swings and frequently
adjust their product inventories to match
reduced demand forecasts. The rapidity of this
“inventory alignment” for the current situation is
clear testament to the effectiveness of new supply
chain management technology. But the persistence
of this slowdown is forcing all organizations
to consider the more complex issue of “structural
Closing the Gap on Digital Manufacturing
The concurrent engineering required for new product designs between design
engineering and manufacturing engineering has always been a critical
focal point for manufacturers to shorten time-to-market, accelerate time-tovolume,
and minimize cost of production. Today, collaboration between
product design (CAD) and manufacturing processes
(CAM) is a robust process due to tight
integration between CAD and CAM and the emergence
of extended PDM and PLM systems.
However, there has not been a corresponding
level of tight integration between CAD/CAM and
production management. But the benefits of exchanging
information between the product
definition domain and production management are becoming clear as
manufacturers move to a collaborative environment. Two leading PLM
suppliers, EDS and IBM/Dassault, have recently launched new programs
to integrate these disparate domains.
