Executive Summary

A leading biotechnology company sought to improve visibility into material requirements, inventory readiness, supplier performance, and production risks. Existing processes made it difficult for planners to proactively identify material shortages, manage inventory effectively, and ensure raw materials were available to support manufacturing operations. 

DiLytics implemented an MRP Analytics solution by integrating Oracle EBS and Oracle ASCP data into Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse and Oracle Analytics. The solution delivered analytics capabilities spanning inventory planning, procurement performance, material requirements planning, and production readiness while providing proactive visibility into shortages, inventory risks, and supplier delivery performance. 

The implementation improved inventory control, enhanced production readiness, strengthened procurement visibility, reduced supply chain risk, and enabled more effective material planning decisions through a centralized analytics platform.

The client needed better visibility into material requirements, inventory readiness, supplier performance, and production risks. DiLytics implemented an MRP Analytics solution that integrated Oracle EBS and Oracle ASCP data to deliver proactive insights into inventory planning, procurement performance, and production readiness. The solution improved inventory control, reduced supply risks, and enabled more informed planning decisions.

Client Overview

The client is a global biopharmaceutical organization specializing in innovative therapies for rare genetic diseases, with a strong focus on research, development, and commercialization. The company operates across multiple international markets and is supported by a large, specialized workforce driving end-to-end healthcare innovation.

Limited Visibility into Material Planning Impacted Production Readiness

Production planners lacked timely visibility into material requirements, inventory availability, supplier performance, and production risks. Without centralized planning analytics, it was difficult to proactively identify shortages, manage inventory effectively, and ensure materials were available when needed to support manufacturing schedules.

Uncertainty in Raw Material Replenishment
