Implementing Highly Complex Supply Chain Planning Process at Bloom Energy [BUS1813]. Bloom Energy has complex supply chain planning requirements due to the nature of its product, procurement processes, and global manufacturing operations. The planning implementation required multiple plans in sequence including application extensions in PaaS to run material allocations using custom engineering logic. Bloom used safety stocks, alternate BOMs (product structures), phantoms, and multilevel/multiorg product explosion, and complex sourcing scenarios to plan the manufacturing supply chain. As presented during the OATUG (Oracle Applications and Technology User Group) Collaborate19 Conference in San Antonio, Texas.

13. Demand Planning Key Requirements
• Capture multiple forecasts
– Booking and Shipping
– Sales, Marketing, Opportunities
– Revenue vs. service forecasts
• SFDC and Apttus Opportunities as forecast
• Upload and maintain consumed judged forecast in Demand Planning
• Capture forecast changes
• Use final forecast in supply planning
• Historical Shipments, Bookings, Forecasts and Install Base

19. Bloom Global Planning Process

20. • Global MRP for 5 plants with sequential manufacturing
• Global supply chain sourcing rules for inter org transfer planning
• Develop a judged and leveled build plan for each plant
• Use Inventory Planning methods such as min-max planning for daily inventory management of B and C class
items
• Multiple sequential plans for multiple nodes in the supply chain
1. Use Revenue forecast (FBDI upload) to drive end assembly planning
2. Planning extension to drive complex material allocations and module production schedule
3. Raw material planning using module production schedule (leveled)
4. Sequential plant based planning to cascade demand through the extended supply chain and
plants
• Prefer the use of standard out of box functionality; tweak business to work with OOTB
• Planning extensions for Customized MRP
• FBDI uploads for forecasts and safety stocks
(M) Supply Planning Key Processes

21. (M) Spares and Service Forecast
• Significant portion of the business
• Depends on multiple factors:
– Install Base
– Field Life of key components
– Predictive Analysis
• Essential for power purchase agreements
• Demand for Spares Stocking Strategy
• Statistical forecasting
• MRP Plan for A class items
• Use Min Max levels for replenishments of B and C
class Items at Fedex depots
• VMI and CVMI business model for most items

22. Customized MRP – PAAS
Extensions

23. (A) Custom MRP Key Requirements
• Allocate Module level forecast to multiple suppliers
• Different grades supplied by each supplier
• Multiple total product combinations for allocation
• Forecast items vs manufacturing items
• Consider available on hand and supplier commits
• Feed output to global MRP plan

24. Bloom Engineering approved combinations for building modules
Strategic allocation to consume available material with
Engineering approved combinations
Feed Output back to Global MRP plan as Module build plan
Forecast items vs. manufacturing items
(A) Module Level MRP Key Requirements

25. The MRP extensions used the following PAAS
components:
• JCS to build User Interfaces to enter and maintain
data, and run and view plans
• DBCS to store the master and supply – demand data
• SaaS – source for master data such as items, product
structure, and supplies
• IDCS – to manage single sign on across PAAS and
SAAS screens
• OTBI – to build reports to extract SAAS data
• UCM – to load module forecasts
• ESS Jobs – to process upload files and import
forecasts
