Two Phase Approach
Tribal Knowledge
Oracle Data Miner
• Used sales rep experience to
identify risk attributes
• Analyzed one year of outcomes to
Train decision tree model
– E.g. Age of product, size of deal
• Profiled contract base
• Established thresholds for Low,
Medium & High risk per attribute
– Cancelled or Renewed
• ‘Wound the clock back’ on six
months more data
• Scored the six months data to
generate predictions
• Algorithm to balance attributes into
overall risk assessment
• Assessed Accuracy at 85%

Prototype Assumptions for the Model: 1 of 2
• 4 Models based on – AMER (US), AMER (Non US), EMEA and APAC
• Data used for training the model was Feb , Mar and Apr 2014 with May 2014 as the target
• Input data used in the model - Apr, May, Jun 2014 with Jul 2014 as the target
• Average and Std Dev used for time phased inputs to the Model – Forecast and Safety
Stock. Latest value for projected available balance used.
• Current Backorders and Onhand considered
Copyright © 2014 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Prototype Assumptions for the Model: 2 of 2
• For remaining parameters, 3 month average value used
• Item is marked at RISK if
•
(backorder > 0 OR pab_qty < 0 OR ss_qty > oh_qty)
• Item is marked as ‘Not at RISK’ if
•
(pab_qty between 0 and 0.25 )
OR (oh_qty - ss_qty) between 0 and 0.25
•
Remaining records were deleted. This tolerance logic was applied to restrict the count
of ‘NO’ records in the training data
• The final output shows the items at risk along with the orgs where planning exceptions
are generated in the latest run of the corresponding Value Chain Plan for spares

Customer Report
•
This report shows the contract, base-model and party impacted by the parts-at-risk
predicted by ODM Model
•
Based on the part-at-risk, the model is fetched utilizing Demantra Data.
•
'EXPIRED', 'CANCELLED', 'TERMINATED‘ contracts are filtered out
•
Premier Customers impacted by the parts @ risk are identified

Case Study:
Predicting Hardware Opportunities
Vinay Deshmukh [email protected]
Senior Director
Oracle Applications Lab
Copyright © 2014 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Oracle Confidential – Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted
31
Problem Statement
• Predict the outcome of (non-Cloud) Hardware Opportunities
whose expected revenue is greater than $1 million
–Includes both Direct and Indirect sales channel
• For the opportunities predicted to be won , provide early
visibility to suppliers and contract manufacturers by
leveraging the capabilities of Value Chain Planning Suite .
Copyright © 2014 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Solution Approach
• Train the ODM model with the historical data
– Opportunities from 31-Mar-2011 to 31-Aug-2013
– Trained the model with opportunities that were Won or Lost between 31-Mar-2011 and
31-Aug-2013
– Additional computed attributes used - product weight, customer weight, partner weight
• Predict the likely outcome of opportunities open as of 1-Sep-2013
using the model
• Test the prediction by comparing against actual wins and losses for
predicted opportunities
• Future: Use the predicted opportunities in Value Chain Planning as
causal factors to improve forecast accuracy

Calculating weights using Bayesian approach
• ((Customer 'x' Won Opty / Total Won Opty) * (Customer 'x' Total Opty / Total Opty)) /
(Σ(Customer 'x' Won Opty / Total Won Opty) * (Customer 'x' Total Opty / Total Opty))
• ((Product 'y' Won Opty / Total Won Opty) * (Product 'y' Total Opty / Total Opty) ) /
(Σ(Product 'y' Won Opty / Total Won Opty) * (Product 'y' Total Opty / Total Opty))
• ((Partner 'z' Won Opty / Total Won Opty) * (Partner 'z' Total Opty / Total Opty)) /
(Σ(Partner 'z' Won Opty / Total Won Opty) * (Partner 'z' Total Opty / Total Opty))
Where x = number of customers, y = Number of products, z = Number of partners
• Note: Direct and Indirect Partner weights are calculated separately. For customer weights = 0 they
are replaced by the median of the customer weights

The Metrics
• False Positives
Model predicted that an event will occur but the event did not occur over the risk horizon
• False Negatives
Model predicted than an event will not occur over the risk horizon but the event did occur
Model accuracy = 1 - [(false positives + false negatives)/ total observations]
