Differences between 8.4.x and Supply Chain Guru X Models

The model database has been enhanced in Supply Chain Guru X to better support production modeling. These changes include the splitting of existing SCG 8.4.x tables and the addition of new tables to the model schema. The general changes are as follows:

  • Split of Sites into Sites and Customers.
  • Split of Sourcing Policies into new Production Policies table (all “Make” policies), Site Sourcing Policies (inter-facility policies) and Customer Sourcing Policies.
  • Removal of Process and BOM from Sourcing Policies.
  • New Processes table defining name and process type.
  • New BOM Assignments and Process Assignments tables, defining Period, Site, Product and BOM/Process.
  • New Production Process Constraints table, providing additional level of constraint detail.
  • Demand vs. Orders
  • Advanced Costing mechanisms

The following images illustrate the major changes to the database structure as described above:
