Business problem: Acquisitions left teams working across disconnected systems
As Cohu expanded, it inherited multiple operational systems for finance, HR, procurement, and supply chain, sometimes more than one in the same region. Fragmented data and manual reconciliation slowed forecasting, reporting, and collaboration.
Within the company’s supply chain, increasing product, part, and SKU complexity became increasingly difficult to manage, impacting new product development, launches, and customer orders.
Solution and results: One cloud platform with quarterly updates and embedded AI
Cohu adopted Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications and deployed Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain and Manufacturing to bring operations onto an integrated cloud platform.
Embedded AI supports real-time reporting across work orders and procurement and flags supply chain exceptions. Oracle Fusion Cloud Product Lifecycle Management helps review product data for completeness and identify process bottlenecks that affect launches and issue resolution. Quarterly updates deliver new AI capabilities without disruption.
Cohu also uses Oracle Configure, Price, Quote in Oracle Fusion Cloud Sales to support lead-to-order cycles, and Oracle Fusion Service and Oracle Field Service to help technicians respond to customer needs. With a single source of truth, leaders, engineers, and supply chain teams can make decisions with shared data, and newly acquired businesses can be integrated faster.
