Annual Report 2006
Deploying an integrated global system to
manage manufacturing and sales costs for
individual products
—Tamura Corporation—
Tamura, a leading global manufacturer of electronic compo-
nents, has deployed our enterprise resource planning (ERP*)
package, glovia.com, in its group-wide back office system,
enabling the integrated management of 11 manufacturing and
sales sites around the world. All data related to orders, sales,
costs, procurement and manufacturing received from systems
at each of these sites is now stored and managed on an inte-
grated basis using a database at Tamura’s head office in Japan,
allowing the client to monitor costs and profits for individual
products in real time. This information gives Tamura the power
to make rapid and precise decisions about which products to
prioritize. By supplying and quickly installing advanced ERP
packages optimized to support global operations, we are help-
ing clients to realize dramatic efficiency gains in their opera-
tions worldwide.
* Enterprise resource planning: An approach designed to improve management
efficiency by integrating the planning and management of a company’s resources
(personnel, assets, finances, time and data) into a single unified system.
Tamura has adopted Fujitsu glovia.com, a suite of extended
ERP solutions to integrate the management of orders, sales
and costs at 11 overseas sites. The suite allows Tamura to
monitor costs and profits for individual products manufac-
tured at each site in real time.
With a large number of employees always on the move,
Osaka Gas needed to create a ubiquitous office environ-
ment to give its staff the same kind of access to information
as they would have in their regular office. Fujitsu Mobile
Centrex Service helped realize this environment.
Making the ubiquitous office a reality
—Osaka Gas Co., Ltd.—
Osaka Gas, the second biggest firm in the domestic gas indus-
try, has adopted our Mobile Centrex Service to create a ubiqui-
tous office environment that allows its employees to perform
work anytime, anywhere, just as they would if they were in the
office. By using PCs and mobile devices, information can be rap-
idly and reliably transmitted to and from personnel who are
often out of the office or in meetings, thereby helping to realize
a dramatic improvement in employee productivity. This
advanced ubiquitous office system, developed in conjunction
with NTT West, OGIS Research Institute and Osaka Gas
Business Create, also offers the possibility of annual savings of
¥480 million through reduced capital expenditure in telecom-
munications equipment and lower communications costs.
Through a whole host of innovative solutions that realize con-
sistent sound quality and efficient communications, Fujitsu is
at the forefront of a revolution in work styles.
