According to the Oracle Manufacturing Cloud User Guide1, plant parameters are settings that define
the characteristics and behavior of a plant. Plant parameters include material parameters (A),
manufacturing calendar (B), and work areas ©. Material parameters define how materials are
managed and consumed in a plant, such as lot control, serial control, backflushing, etc.
Manufacturing calendar defines the working days and hours for a plant or a work area. Work areas
define the physical, geographical, or logical clusters of work centers that perform similar operations
or activities. Work orders (D) are not plant parameters, but rather documents that specify the details
of a production order that is executed in a plant.
