Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

4. Oracle – ASCP (Advance Supply Chain
Planning)
Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning (ASCP) is a comprehensive, Internet-based planning
solution that decides when and where supplies (for example, inventory, purchase orders and work
orders) should be deployed within an extended supply chain. This is the supply planning function.
Oracle ASCP addresses the following key supply planning issues:
It is the main planning engine Oracle is offering, it has advanced features than the traditional
MRP module. It plans:
The supply
(POs, Requisitions,
Work Orders)
based on demand
(Forecast, Sales orders,
Dependent demand)
5. ORACLE ASCP OUTLOOK / ACTIVITIES
Oracle ASCP as we know by now is an advance planning tool with ample benefits and
features.
There is a flow of information between the components of the Oracle Advanced
Planning Suite.
There are 3 types of business flows:
APS Information Flows
The Demand-to-Make / Demand-to-Buy Business Flow
The Inquiry-to-Order Business Flow
7. Planning Cycle
Planning Cycle: Planners perform end-to-end planning flow during the
course of planning cycle. The flow demonstrates the key features of
Oracle ASCP that a typical planner would use in the course of their
work.
STEP 1: Various sources of demand are as below:
STEP 2: Run collections to bring planning data from the source instance to
the planning server, where the data will be accessible to Oracle ASCP.
STEP 3: After an MDS has been defined, a Production, Manufacturing, or
Distribution plan/schedule can be created.
STEP 4: After you have created your MRP, MPS, or MPP plan/schedule and
saved it, choose the plan from [Production, Manufacturing, or Distribution
Plan] > Names and select Launch Plan.
STEP 5: Review Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
8. Planning Cycle
STEP 6: Review Exceptions
STEP 7: Review Workflow Notifications Oracle ASCP's powerful
collaboration features enable you to automate and streamline your
interactions with customers and suppliers.
STEP 8: View Pegged Supply and Demand
STEP 9: Modify the Plan Environment
STEP 10: Modify Supply/Demand
STEP 11: Modify Resources
STEP 12: Modify Supplier Parameters
STEP 13: Run Net Change
STEP 14: Review a Constrained Forecast that Results from Net Change
Planning
STEP 15: Release or Firm Orders
9. ORACLE ASCP IMPLEMENTATION
The project I took up was implementation of ASCP for Machining Centre due to below
reasons:
Machining Centre was a combination of 21 machines
Multiple SKU were machines on multiple parts as per routing
The machining time at each Machining Centre was different for different parts
The no. of SKUs was greater than 150.
Some Machining Centre were similar and replaceable by each other
A set of machines was dedicated for a particular SKU
Due to above complications we felt a need to shift from manual scheduling of
production and capacity planning to Advance Supply Chain planning (ASCP).
10. ORACLE ASCP IMPLEMENTATION
For ASCP to work well in the planning environment setup by the planner (in case of single org setup)
/Organization (in case of multi-org setup), there are some pre-requisites that are needed so that the
system throws the desired output based on the inputs provided to it. These pre-requisites are as below:
STEP 1: Cleanup activity
a. Open Purchase Requisitions
b. Past due / unwanted Purchase Orders
c. Past due / unwanted Work Orders
d. Unreleased Work Orders
For the project undertaken for Machining Centre, below are the numbers and volume which were
being cleaned:
Open Purchase Requisitions – 2000+ PRs
Past due / unwanted Purchase Orders - 1500+ lines
Past due / unwanted Work Orders - 1800+ WOs
Unreleased Work Orders - 1600+ WOs
11. ORACLE ASCP IMPLEMENTATION
STEP 2: Maintaining correct Item Master
a. Lead time: Pre-processing Lead time
Processing Lead time
Post-processing Lead time
Fixed Lead time
Variable Lead time
b. Inventory attributes: Inventory Item, Stockable, Transactable, Revision Control
c. General Planning attributes: Min-Max quantity, Planner, Safety Stock
d. MPS/MRP Planning Attribute Group: Planning Method, Planning Time Fence, Demand time Fence, Release
Time Fence
e. Order Entry Attribute Group: Customer Ordered, OE Transactable, RMA Inspection Required
12. ORACLE ASCP IMPLEMENTATION
STEP 3: Entering Material & Resource constraints in system
You can define constraints for materials and resources in your plan. You will also
be able to specify the level of importance of these constraints depending on your
business needs and the planning horizon. You can generate plans using the
following scenarios for each planning bucket type (days, weeks, periods):
Plan considering material constraints only
Plan considering resource constraints only
Plan with respect to both material and resource constraints
Constraint Type Includes
Items BOM effectivities (process effectivity), ECOs, alternate BOMs, substitute components, by-
products, safety stocks, order modifiers, supplier-specific order modifiers, supplier-specific lead-
times, pegging restrictions
Manufacturing Resources Routing effectivities, alternate routings, alternate resources, resource capacities, line rates,
workday calendar
Transportation Resources Carrier capacities, shipment and delivery calendars
Sourcing Constraints Sourcing effectivities, sourcing ranks, allocation percentages, supplier capacity
Suppliers Supplier capacity, supplier rank, supplier calendar, flex fences, supplier order modifier
Demands Sales orders/forecasts, demand priority, demand priority rules
13. ORACLE ASCP IMPLEMENTATION
STEP 4: Loading correct Demand in system
STEP 5: Running Data Collection and Launching Constraint plan
STEP 6: Checking accuracy of supply generated against demand as per inputs
provided
STEP 7: Make any changes in constraints or other planning parameters.
STEP 8: Repeat STEP 5, 6, 7 till correct output
STEP 9: Educate Planner for his daily routine activities and set Rhythm
