Challenges

A word from Unisonic Technologies

  • “Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 enabled us to handle more transactions between our Taiwan and mainland China offices, placing us in a better position to win business in China and gain a larger share of the international components market.” – Angela Kao, Special Assistant of Business Operation Center, Unisonic Technologies Co., Ltd

  • Upgrade an aging enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to synchronize the company's branches that process materials used to manufacture components
  • Deploy a system that helps improve manufacturing resource planning across the entire organization
  • Reduce the number of product naming rules to make it easier for staff to search for integrated circuit products and minimize the risk of manufacturing errors

Solutions

  • Generated consolidated reports about the quantity and age of inventory in its warehouses almost immediately, rather than in half a day
  • Enabled staff to check warehouse inventory once a week, rather than monthly, which ensures the company always has the right amount of stock to manufacture components
  • Provided consistent product naming rules, which enabled staff in the sales and materials departments to search for specific raw materials and verify inventory levels at any time
  • Enabled senior managers to automatically create a report detailing inventory that is getting old in its warehouses, rather than having to wait up to 20 days to update production planning, thus enabling the company to manufacture products 25% faster
  • Provided a system that automatically checks stock availability, improving communication between staff and customers
  • Built a business-to-business system that will soon enable customers to order products online
