Story
Ball grew supply and production planning faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, materials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Planners and plant leads were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Oracle Cloud ERP put plan to produce on Oracle. Oracle delivers enterprise applications, databases, and cloud infrastructure, including Fusion Cloud ERP and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Ball keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so planners and plant leads do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier plan to produce. Supply and production planning is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join planners and plant leads without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
