Description of the Requirement:
The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) has a requirement for the following resource categories on an as and when requested basis:
? A.1 Application/Software Architect
? A.2 Enterprise Resource Planning Functional Analyst
? I.11 Technology Architect
Objective:
The objective is to implement Warehouse Management in CSC’s Oracle IFMMS system in order to replace the existing two legacy systems and to have an integrated solution that will be supported from a functional and technical perspective; using existing and internal knowledge base to best manage and support the business processes at both the Laval National Depot and the CORCAN Warehouse sites.
Enhancing IFMMS with advanced warehouse management functionality, will provide industry best practices in CSC and CORCAN’s supply chain management process through efficiencies, innovation, and consolidation of three software applications into one. The solution will create efficiencies in business processes and increase accuracy in the supply chain process through tracking all inputs and outputs within one system.
Functional and technical expertise are required for the implementation, configuration and delivery of the Warehouse Management functionality in IFMMS, which includes enhancements to the Inventory Management and order Management modules.
Scope:
The Warehouse Management solution must effectively support both the Laval Depot and the CORCAN Warehouse. By enhancing functionality within Oracle EBS to include Warehouse Management, and potentially include Oracle’s Mobile Supply Chain Applications (MSCA), and by enhancing Oracle EBS modules such as Inventory Management and Order Management to enable users at both locations to:
a) Accurately manage and process physical goods;
b) Increase accuracy of inventory counts for costing, manufacturing, and shipment of goods,;
c) Properly reconcile and integrate billing, pricing, and returns related to goods sold, and
d) Establish a consistent business process and source of truth for users at both locations.
This transformation will provide both the Laval Depot and the CORCAN Warehouse with an integrated solution that is more automated and streamlined, thus reducing inventory reconciliation issues, and allowing for more accurate and timely processing of orders.
The solution must:
a. Be integrated (and not interfaced) with the existing Oracle EBS V12.2 ERP system.
b. Be compatible with CSC current technology infrastructure.
c. Be upgradable at regular intervals to keep current with industry standards, as well as the Government of Canada standards through Shared Services Canada (SSC).
d. Adheres to Treasury Board Secretariat directives for financial systems..
e. Utilize and implement industry standard “best-practices.”
f. Limit costly customizations to those that are required either by external legislation or internal Commissioner’s directives.
g. Be able to easily enter orders, process shipments, and reconcile all transactions .. There should be
h. few to no inventory discrepancies.
This would improve reporting capabilities and facilitate accurate and consistent responses to Access to Information and Privacy requests (ATIP).
