In-Memory Cost Management

Maximize Revenue. Increase Profits. Optimize Operational Costs and Working Capital.

With Oracle In-Memory Cost Management Cloud, you can define an enterprise-wide cost strategy, simulate unlimited what-if scenarios, and perform cost, margin, and profitability analyses—all in real time.

Cost Impact Analysis

Cost Change Simulation

Simulate the impact of cost changes for buy parts, ingredients, resources, and overheads.

 

High Performance Cost Rollups

Roll up cost changes across the enterprise for deep bills of materials, formulas, recipes, and sourcing rules in real time.

 

Comprehensive "Where-Used"

Take advantage of comprehensive "where-used" analyses for items, resources, and overheads incorporating organizations from user-selected sourcing rules to identify finished goods, intermediates, sub-assemblies, phantoms, and configured items.

 

Inventory Value Analysis

Compare current and simulated costs and valuations of on-hand and in-transit inventory as well as the materials currently on the shop floor.

 

Detailed Indented BOM, Formula, Recipe, and Routing

Drill down into complete product cost structures with indented BOMs, recipes, formulas, and routings to understand the full impact of cost changes.

 

Gross Profit Analysis

 

Multi-Dimensional Analysis

Slice and dice gross margins and profits by several dimensions like customer, product hierarchy, geographic regions, and more.

 

Profitable Product Mixes

Compare simulated versus actual margins and cost of goods sold related to different product designs in the context of a region, season, or sales channel.

 

Impact of Cost Simulation

Assess impact on gross margins and profits from cost change simulations.

 

Future Gross Margins and Profits

Assess impact on gross margins and profits on demand forecasts.

 

Custom Dashboards

Create custom dashboards to view your profitability analysis.

 

Cost Comparison

Cost Outliers

View product cost comparisons at their deepest granularity and identify cost outliers.

 

Opportunities to Reduce Costs

Study cost trade-offs of various product design options and identify the most profitable product cost structures.

 

Savings Across the Enterprise

Compare costs across organizations and extend cost saving approaches and learnings across the enterprise.

 

Cost Planning

 

Cost Allocation Strategy

Define cost-allocation scope, pool, and rules to accurately calculate "should costs".

 

What-If Analysis

Create cost plans for future periods and perform what-if analyses to arrive at optimum cost structures.

 

Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis

Perform break-even point analyses at an individual finished goods level.

 

Optimize Acquisition Costs

Evaluate supplier quotes in near real time and gain better control of supply chain costs.
