There are many potential pitfalls to avoid during a Configure-to-Order implementation, and mistakes can cost you a lot of time and money. Luckily, Latis has your back. Contact us today to learn how we can help you avoid common CTO mistakes.
The following is a checklist of questions to ask yourself as you prepare for a CTO implementation:
|
Do you know whether you will
need forecasting at the model
or component level? |
|
Do you know that improper design
of configure-to-order flow
could generate an incorrect
invoice? |
|
|
Do you know how to identify
when to make an item pre-
configured versus a
configured-to-order item? |
|
Do you know that effective assemble-to-order design can accommodate dynamic WIP routings? |
|
|
Do you know that by using
effectivity dates you can
manipulate engineering
changes? |
|
Do you know that match and
reserve functionality has to be
implemented right to get an
optimal throughput time? |
|
|
Do you know that configured
products can be priced
dynamically - with configurator
attributes - if designed correctly? |
|
Do you know that improper
design of engineering
changes for configured
products could cause
inventory mismatches? |
|
|
Do you know that Oracle
Configurator can be used as
an effective interface to share
data with other functional
systems in your business? |
|
Do you know that using
intangible items in a Bill of
Materials is not the optimal
way to price your
configurations? |
|
|
Do you know that you can use
Oracle Manufacturing and still
use your legacy front-end with
Oracle Configurator for faster
implementation? |
|
Do you know that forecasting
at the component level when
you only have the need to do
it at a higher level can have a
terrible impact on your
throughput? |
|
|
Do you know that an improper
implementation cannot only
delay your implementation but
it can also make your user
community hate your ERP
implementation? |
|
Do you know that Latis can do
a rapid implementation of
Oracle E-Business Suite using
Oracle Accelerator in
combination with Oracle
Configurator? |
|
|
Do you know that an
improper implementation
of scheduling and Material
Requirements Planning for
configure-to-order products
could result in false
reservations and false
demand? |
