KEYNOTES & FEATURED ORACLE SPEAKERS



When Aron Ralston hiked into a remote area of Utah’s canyon country in April of 2003, he was an experienced outdoorsman out for a walk in the park. Seven miles into the canyon that day, Aron accidentally dislodged a boulder that crushed and pinned his right hand. After six days of entrapment alone, he freed himself with a cheap multi-tool knife and hiked to a miraculous rescue. Speaking to audiences, one of his key messages hones in on overcoming extreme adversity, personally or professionally: “May your boulders be your blessings. May you be able to embrace them and may you find what’s extraordinary in yourself.”

Dynamic Re-order Point Calculator for JDEKinross Gold CorporationRe-order point is a replenishment strategy used by several companies. Purchase Order Generator application in JDE generates a suggestion for purchasing a stock item whenever its available quantity is less than the re-order point quantity and there is no open Purchase Orders (POs) for that item. However, re-order point and the re-order quantity are static figures inserted manually by the user. In an environment with thousands of stock items and constant changes in consumption pattern, lead time or any other variable that could affect re-order point and re-order quantity, it is not feasible to rely on the user to manage manually those replenishment parameters. The results of re-order point, re-order quantity and PO Generator execution impact the inventory levels, which have a delicate trade-off between monies tied in inventory and service level. So, an enhancement to automate calculation of re-order point and the re-order quantity based on dynamic variables became necessary.
