How to Set Up a Research & Development (R&D) Laboratory for Formula Development and Testing?
We are using Oracle E-Business Suite R12.2.14 with Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM), and we are planning to implement a solution for our Research & Development (R&D) department using Oracle OPM Product Development.
Before starting the implementation, we would like to understand the correct setup and recommended approach.
Our Business Requirements:
We need our R&D team to be able to:
- Create new product formulations using existing raw materials.
- Create and maintain multiple formula versions for the same product.
- Experiment with different raw material quantities and percentages.
- Develop completely new products and formulations.
- Create small experimental batches for testing purposes.
- Evaluate and test formulations before approving them for commercial production.
