*Comprehensive : Planning, Scheduling, GOP, Inventory Optimization, Demand Planning**Centralized => less overhead, licensing fees where as Distributed=> upgrade to R12, support multiple instances, can be optimized for ascp performance, no peak load*Main instance types = Discrete, Process, Discrete & Process*Source type supplier / inventory . Order modifier => need 75 tomorrow, 50 day after tomorrow*Plan types > Mfg plan, production plan, master plan
