help organizations achieve new levels of productivity and growth
across the supply chain
AUSTIN,
Texas, Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle
CloudWorld -- Oracle today announced new role-based AI agents
within Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain & Manufacturing
(SCM) to automate routine tasks and allow organizations to
focus more time on strategic supply chain initiatives. Available to
customers today, the new AI agents help supply chain professionals
transform the way they work and achieve new levels of productivity
by automating end-to-end processes and delivering personalized
insights, content, and recommendations for specific tasks and
specialized roles.
"Supply chain professionals often spend several hours every week
on administrative tasks, such as data analysis, policy reviews, and
order processing, which takes a significant toll on productivity
and resources," said Chris Leone,
executive vice president of applications development, Oracle. "Our
new AI agents for supply chain management help ease the
administrative burden by streamlining workflows and automating
routine tasks to enable greater accuracy and efficiency, smarter
decision-making, and ultimately, a more agile and responsive supply
chain."
Spanning all areas of the supply chain, including procurement,
manufacturing, maintenance, inventory management, sustainability,
planning, and product lifecycle management, the new AI agents
embedded in Oracle Cloud SCM seamlessly support supply chain
professionals with:
Margin and risk resilience:
- Procurement policy advisor: Helps procurement
professionals increase the speed and accuracy of creating,
processing, and fulfilling purchase requisitions. For example, the
agent can provide insight into procurement policies, share product
recommendations, and identify specific information needed to
complete a purchase requisition.
- Manufacturer onboarding advisor: Helps design engineers
streamline the manufacturer and supplier onboarding process. For
example, the agent can quickly assess newly added manufacturers and
suppliers to determine if they meet risk profile and onboarding
requirements.
Smart operations:
- Operational procedure advisor: Helps manufacturing and
production operators confirm whether operations align with
procedural guidelines and safety standards. For example, the agent
can provide insight into the standard operating procedures for
manufacturing processes and summarize information on specific
safety standards and material handling guidelines.
- Quality inspection advisor: Helps quality engineers
streamline inspection processes and confirm whether products align
with compliance requirements. For example, the agent can review
failed inspection history and provide preventive recommendations,
such as tightening specification controls or suggesting new
inspection actions.
- Material handling advisor: Helps material handlers
engage in proper handling of products upon delivery. For example,
the agent can provide information on specific material handling
procedures and applicable regulatory requirements so that goods are
routed and stored properly.
Perfect fulfillment:
- Claims policy advisor: Helps claims analysts make
faster, more informed, and more consistent claim disposition
decisions. For example, the agent can quickly review claim policy
documents, identify claims that do not conform to policy, and
provide suggestions on how those claims should be handled.
- Shipping placard handling advisor: Helps shipping agents
assess compliance with hazardous materials placard regulations. For
example, the agent can review shipment details and summarize
guidance on the required content and placement of hazardous
materials placards to address regulations.
- Goods delivery advisor: Helps warehouse
operators streamline the delivery process. For example, the
agent can provide detailed delivery instructions based on specific
delivery location and noted time restrictions to reduce the
likelihood of interruptions or delays.
Data-driven decision making:
- Supply chain collaboration advisor: Helps
suppliers streamline access to company-specific policies and
guidelines to improve productivity. For example, the agent can help
provide information on forecasts and commitments, and review
production progress and completion status.
- Sustainability policy advisor: Helps sustainability
analysts more accurately report on corporate sustainability
initiatives. For example, the agent can summarize the nuances of
company sustainability policies and the latest industry standards
to help confirm activities are being reported correctly.
