Q&A

It all started…..

But we do dislike the other team…

Even if we have no reason to…

You are almost guaranteed to see a fight…

Or possibly get seated next to one of these guys….

And this winning attitude….

Starts at a young age….

Stay off the field, or risk being tased…

And you DEFINITELY don’t want to sit near this kid…

Phillies fan charged with intentionally vomiting on cop's kid

Better yet, perhaps a nice day at the museum…

OTM 6.3 A Wealth of Innovation!

6.3 Rollups (from SIG 2012)

• Released every 4 months • Will be able to patch against specific Rollups • Can include more robust enhancements:

• Incremental DB additions • Incremental XML additions • Property / Parameter controlled enhanced functionality

• Improved upgrade experience • Due to more focus on incremental controls – if current • Working on reducing downtime for Rollups – if current

6.3 Rollups (from SIG 2012)

• While we will have the ability to patch back: • Backports of bugs will still be on an exception basis • No backports of enhancements

• Same advice from Development: Stay Current! • No official line on Rollup age, but similar to current approach

we will not be able to patch back too many Rollups – they age! • Likely no longer than 1 year (match other Oracle products)

• 6.3.1 will still be largely a bug fix Rollup for forward porting and critical bugs.

Key Functional Initiatives


Network disruptions (e.g., closed ports) Freight cost changes (e.g., fuel charges) Service provider changes Network design (e.g., new cross-dock) Sustainability impacts Capacity forecasting Sensitivity analysis Optimization parameter tuning

In-Memory Logistics Command Center Use Cases

What-If Planning & Simulations


Multi-Tier Networks

New multi-tier network optimization algorithm

– OTM automatically discovers all network routing options

– Improved solution quality & performance

– E.g., unlimited number of cross-dock / pooling options


Demurrage / Detention Demurrage / Detention

– Extra costs for use of carrier’s equipment – Rail cars, ocean containers, etc.

Enhancements – Model demurrage rules (# of free days,

cost / day, etc) – Workflow listens for events and

creates/updates demurrage transaction – Generate settlement and liability reports

Benefits – Lower transportation costs


Fleet Planning – Slip-seating (truck shared between drivers) – Straight-trucks & kits – Backhaul assignment – Get the Driver Home - opportunistic backhaul

v/s return empty – Find “home” for order – show options on map

Map-based Workspace – Map embedded with Decision Control Center – More map actions

Business Intelligence – Fleet specific metrics & dashboard

Fleet Management Enhancements


Ship Unit Optimization Load Configuration algorithm was extended to become a generalized

Packing Algorithm – Used to pack ship units into equipment (existing OTM functionality)

– Now also used to pack order lines into Ship Units


Scenario Option 1 Option 2

• Create one pallet (one ship unit) representing the entire order release

• Ship via LTL at a cost of $95

• Order Release sent to OTM with four packaged items

• Each packaged item weighs 40lbs.

• Mode is unknown when Order Release is created

• Create multiple ship units for the order release

• Ship each ship unit individually via small parcel at a cost of $22/carton

• Total small parcel cost = $88

Ship Unit Optimization Mode Selection Example

Integration Data Queues Feature was productized in 6.1

– Not on by default – Controlled by properties and parameter settings

Provides a mechanism for controlling integration flow – Without data queues, all integrations stored in memory – With data queues, integrations kept in a table – You configure how many and how often to bring in

integrations

Allows you to prioritize different messages – Requires ‘moderately intense’ configuration – Future enhancement area to make this less intense

Q&A


Question #1

Is the product roadmap all about Rollups? Is there a major release being planned? If so, what is the target date?

Rollups are just one vehicle to deliver small to medium sized

enhancements. Major releases will still be needed. The next major release is in the planning / scoping phase, will likely be called 6.4, and targeted for delivery in Oracle’s FY15.


Question #2

Has OTM team changed their approach to platform support?

Not really, just formalized what we were doing before, AND trying to

align with corporate platforms for multi-application implementations. – We have two levels – supported and certified.


Question #3

Since Larry now owns an Hawaiian Island, can we get a better (more tropical) location for next year’s SIG?

If the SIG customers buy up some new licenses for LCC and the

hardware to go with it, we will go to bat with Larry for a SIG on his island!!
