Advance Auto Parts | Retail | 40000 | $11.3B | United States | Oracle | Oracle Cloud SCM | Supply Chain Management | 2018 | KPMG | In 2018, Advance Auto Parts implemented Oracle Cloud SCM as part of a broader Oracle Cloud ERP and EPM program to address Supply Chain Management capabilities. Oracle Cloud SCM was positioned to support procurement, inventory, order management, and distribution workflows for the US-based retailer with approximately 40,000 employees and $11.287 billion in revenue. KPMG served as the system integrator and partnered with Advance Auto Parts project leads and business stakeholders to design, develop, and facilitate the enablement program. The initiative targeted 1,200 employees across five defined work streams, with learning plans and role-based tracks aligned to supply chain and fulfillment functions. The delivery package included 240 role-based micro-learning videos, five eLearning courses produced in Adobe Captivate, five instructor-led training presentation decks, and 200 standard operating procedure documents. Instructional delivery combined asynchronous micro-learning with synchronous virtual sessions, specifically 20 four-hour virtual instructor-led classes, to operationalize Oracle Cloud SCM processes. Training governance and rollout coordination were managed jointly by KPMG project leads and business stakeholders, who sequenced work stream deployments and validated learning artifacts and SOPs. The program emphasized task-level procedures and role-based workflows to embed Oracle Cloud SCM into procurement, inventory control, order fulfillment, and logistics teams. | |

Advance Auto Parts | Retail | 40000 | $11.3B | United States | Blue Yonder | Blue Yonder Transportation Management ( ex JDA TMS ) | Transportation Management | 2016 | n/a | In 2016 Advance Auto Parts implemented Blue Yonder Transportation Management ( ex JDA TMS ) for Transportation Management, deploying the application to centralize transportation planning and execution across its retail supply chain. The initiative focused on retail merchandizing and distribution logistics to orchestrate inbound and outbound freight flows between vendors, distribution centers and stores. The implementation concentrated on core Transportation Management capabilities including inbound and outbound process orchestration, transportation planning, freight combination optimization and improved trailer load utilization. Functional configuration emphasized freight optimization logic and carrier assignment rules to create more cost effective freight combinations between vendors, DCs and stores while supporting store replenishment workflows. Integration work tied Blue Yonder Transportation Management to Advance Auto Parts java application layer, AS400 host systems, a broker layer and SaaS cloud components, and extended integration to Car Quest independent stores and warehouse partners. Project teams worked with the vendor JDA and multiple geographically distributed IT teams to build information flows, data processing pipelines and integration testing between systems to support real time planning and execution scenarios. Governance and delivery used an Agile framework with senior functional leadership in the retail merchandizing team driving requirement analysis, scope definition, integration testing strategy, defect triage and production readiness assessments. A Senior Functional Consultant led design and integration testing, produced weekly and monthly integrated testing reports, and coordinated stakeholder handoffs, with the program established to deliver a new business model targeting 3M USD savings each calendar year. | |
