Global Sales, Manufacturing & Distribution and Procurement
Systems
Multinational corporations with far-flung operations are increasingly seeking to
implement truly global information systems in order to enhance their international
competitiveness. In the automotive industry, the keys to differentiating oneself from
one’s competitors are the ability to reduce the lead time between
product development and delivery, respond to changes in
demand or supply with flexible supply chain management, and
implement a reliable shipment management system. To support
the development of Toyota’s global business, we are building a
supply-chain management system that integrates production,
distribution and sales, and a web-based procurement system.
These systems run on Fujitsu’s PRIMEPOWER Unix servers and
use our Interstage middleware. With stable 24x7 availability, the
systems track the delivery of finished vehicles to export markets,
as well as product information, pricing, and supply chain
conditions, keeping sales channels filled in accordance with
market demand and production precisely aligned with product orders, thereby enabling
Toyota to develop more strategic sales policies.
