Product Governance &ComplianceProduct Governance &ComplianceGovernment and industry standards and regulations are a permanent and ever changing part of the business landscape. It is more important than ever to be able to track and comply with these mandates. Oracle’s Agile Product Governance and Compliance (PG&C) allows organizations to oversee the compliance of their products and activities with standards and regulations. PG&C links compliance data to the product record.

This allows companies•to track and maintain full compliance•access regulatory information faster, and provide auditors with accurate and transparent data•interruption risk is reduced•product and operations cost decreased.

Oracle’s Agile Product Governance and Compliance module makes sure your products and activities stay in compliance with standards and regulations.

contract to manufacture products

• Your products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of that product for production year 2013.

• Conflict Minerals are Tin, Tungsten, Tantalum and Gold

What you may be required to collect:

• Description of products that contain conflict minerals

• Facilities used to process those minerals

• Country of origin of those minerals

• Your efforts to determine the mine and the location of origin

You are required to file Form SD with the SEC on May 31st, 2014 and possibly a Conflict Mineral exhibit.

Compliance Initiative ProcessCompliance Initiative Process

Engagement ProcessEngagement ProcessZero Wait State will come on-site for a 2 day workshop with your supply chain organization to understand what you have in place now and what you will need for compliance.

• During that engagement, we can conduct an executive briefing session so the executive team understands the legislation, what it means to them, and any exemptions that apply to their industry.

We can discuss third party data gathering solutions and how we work with them as well as our Supplier Form Importer solution.

The workshop deliverable will be a specific Statement of Work with pricing based on what is appropriate for your organization

Description BuilderDescription BuilderIn the world of engineering design and manufacturing, consistency and clear cohesive descriptions of parts and items in a PLM system are key. Distributed design campuses, complicated design and engineering processes and different levels of review and change management may lead to inconsistent naming conventions for parts and items in your design engineering database.

DescriptionBuilder builds an item’s description using attribute information contained on the item. The attributes to use and associated value mappings are kept in a spreadsheet matrix checked into Agile for easy maintenance. Alternatively the matrix may be stored outside of Agile for direct access in order to boost performance.

Description BuilderDescription BuilderBenefits:•Saves time interpreting inconsistent naming conventions•Makes it easier to find items in the database by attribute values•Prevents and reduces user error and confusion

Features:•Builds an item’s description using attribute information contained on the item•Attributes to use and associated value mappings kept in an Excel spreadsheet matrix•Spreadsheet can be checked into Agile for easy maintenance•Spreadsheet can be stored outside of Agile for direct access in order to boost performance•Descriptions can be set up to be updated automatically or when DescriptionBuilder is manually invoked
