Oracle Cloud MRP Implementation for an Industrial Services Provider
A North American industrial services organization sought to replace manual planning and legacy SAGE workflows with Oracle Cloud MRP to support rapid growth and higher manufacturing capacity. CES implemented an integrated MRP solution across Supply Planning, Procurement, Inventory, Manufacturing, and Cost Management – enabling real-time visibility, automated replenishment, accurate costing, and streamlined execution on the shopfloor.

The Need
The organization needed a unified MRP platform to replace manual planning and non-integrated supply chain processes. With demand rising and manufacturing expanding, leadership required accurate forecasting, automated replenishment, end-to-end visibility, and tighter alignment between engineering, procurement, and production.
Challenges
- Manual & Disconnected Planning – No integrated system to manage demand, supply constraints, or shopfloor visibility.
- Inefficient Material Flow – Parts piled up at receiving with no tracking from warehouse to production.
- Limited Cost & Work Order Insight – No accurate view of execution progress or true build cost.
CES deployed Oracle Cloud MRP to unify planning, procurement, inventory, and manufacturing execution.
- Integrated Supply Planning: Forecast-based planning with automated buy/work order creation, rescheduling recommendations, and exception handling.
- Centralized Procurement & Replenishment: Auto-sourcing of purchase orders, outside services management, and consistent procurement processes across locations.
- Inventory Control & Shopfloor Visibility: Min-max planning, receiving, transfers, cycle counting, and warehouse-to-shopfloor tracking for real-time inventory accuracy.
- Manufacturing Execution & Costing: Serialized and revision-controlled manufacturing, resource charging, work order completion, and standard cost roll-ups for accurate build cost.
- Data Migration & Operational Dashboards: Conversion of items, structures, work definitions, suppliers, POs, costs, and sourcing rules, supported by dashboards for PO performance, production status, labor hours, and supply-demand health.
- Better Production Planning – A synchronized supply-manufacturing process enabled more reliable output.
- Improved Inventory Accuracy – Full visibility from receiving to shopfloor reduced shortages and overstocking.
- Streamlined Procurement – Faster PO processing and consistent sourcing ensured a steady parts flow.
- Accurate Manufacturing Costing – Clear insight into cost variances enhanced financial control.
- Higher Throughput – On-time manufacturing improved delivery and supported the organization’s growth targets.
