2. Product Governance &Compliance
Government and industry standards
and regulations are a permanent and
ever changing part of the business
landscape. It is more important than
ever to be able to track and comply
with these mandates. Oracle’s Agile
Product Governance and Compliance
(PG&C) allows organizations to
oversee the compliance of their
products and activities with
standards and regulations. PG&C
links compliance data to the product
record.
This allows companies
•to track and maintain full compliance
•access regulatory information faster,
and provide auditors with accurate and
transparent data
•interruption risk is reduced
•product and operations cost decreased.
Oracle’s Agile Product Governance and Compliance
module makes sure your products and activities stay
in compliance with standards and regulations.

4. Conflict Minerals – What does it mean to your company?
It’s complicated legislation and
there are many accounting firms
and legal firms providing guidance.
It applies to you if you are:
•
•
•
•

You manufacture products or
contract to manufacture
products
Your products contain conflict
minerals that are necessary to
the functionality or production
of that product for production
year 2013.
Conflict Minerals are Tin,
Tungsten, Tantalum and Gold
What you may be required to
collect:
•
•
•
•
Description of products that
contain conflict minerals
Facilities used to process those
minerals
Country of origin of those
minerals
Your efforts to determine the
mine and the location of origin
You are required to file Form SD
with the SEC on May 31st, 2014 and

6. Engagement Process
Zero Wait State will come on-site for a 2 day
workshop with your supply chain organization
to understand what you have in place now and
what you will need for compliance.
•
During that engagement, we can conduct
an executive briefing session so the
executive team understands the
legislation, what it means to them, and any
exemptions that apply to their industry.
We can discuss third party data gathering
solutions and how we work with them as well
as our Supplier Form Importer solution.
The workshop deliverable will be a specific
Statement of Work with pricing based on what
is appropriate for your organization

12. Description Builder
In the world of engineering design and manufacturing,
consistency and clear cohesive descriptions of parts and
items in a PLM system are key. Distributed design
campuses, complicated design and engineering processes
and different levels of review and change management
may lead to inconsistent naming conventions for parts
and items in your design engineering database.
DescriptionBuilder builds an
item’s description using
attribute information
contained on the item. The
attributes to use and
associated value mappings are
kept in a spreadsheet matrix
checked into Agile for easy
maintenance. Alternatively the
matrix may be stored outside
of Agile for direct access in
order to boost performance.

13. Description Builder
Benefits:
•Saves time interpreting inconsistent naming conventions
•Makes it easier to find items in the database by attribute
values
•Prevents and reduces user error and confusion
Features:
•Builds an item’s description using attribute information
contained on the item
•Attributes to use and associated value mappings kept in
an Excel spreadsheet matrix
•Spreadsheet can be checked into Agile for easy
maintenance
•Spreadsheet can be stored outside of Agile for direct
access in order to boost performance
•Descriptions can be set up to be updated automatically or
when DescriptionBuilder is manually invoked
