Product Development

Product Development tracks the early development phases of products that are going to be designed or built. Product Development uses business objects called items, documents , and manufacturer parts to build development structures that describe the assembly or product to be manufactured, or the content of the subassembly. Another business object, the change order , is used to track a change or multiple changes on an item, document, their structure, or on a manufacturer part that is associated with an item, with a revision attachment, or with the attributes of an item or document.

• Searches - Easily find items, documents, manufacturer parts, manufacturers, and change orders with simple or advanced searches, and manage them with quick procedures that have immediate results;
• Lifecycle Phases and Item Grades - Differentiate between items with revision-specific lifecycle phases, and with calculated item grades that help evaluate for production readiness;
• AML - Manage manufacturer parts with an Approved Manufacturers List (AML) that can be associated with any item or part;
• Incorporate Pre-production Proposals - Incorporate Concepts or Requirements from Oracle Innovation Management Cloud applications;
