Fujitsu Value Chain Solution
Fujitsu Value Chain Solution offers best-in-class capabilities that enable integrated business planning and
execution across the entire supply chain.
Realizing tangible benefits from an
integrated supply chain
We help capture, manage, and leverage
demand and capacity planning activities
that help reduce costs and improve process
efficiency across the supply chain.
Challenges
Companies face several supply chain
challenges every day:
■■ Forecasting accuracy
■■ Sales and marketing planning complexity
■■ Inventory carrying costs and slow turnover
■■ Long order-to-shipment cycles
■■ Increased transportation costs and
dependency on carriers for planning
activities
■■ Time to market of product and offerings
■■ Distribution partner agreements
■■ Greater cost pressure from the need to
manage logistics networks
■■ Higher inventory levels and requirements to
manage stock levels at the distribution and
retail locations
■■ Product lifecycles are shortening so new
product development is critical
■■ Demand for private labeling
■■ Product shelf life issues and increasing
inventories, cause outages or create waste
To address these challenges, there are three
critical things that companies want from any
technology enabling toolset, reliability, better
productivity, and lower cost of ownership. It is
tough to achieve all of them together in today’s
fast paced environment where processes change
Page 1 of 4
quickly and the movement of products is
managed by multiple systems. It is even more
difficult when your business depends on your
enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution to
sell and deliver to customers. This places a
greater burden on the ERP team and pushes
them towards the need for excellence programs.
Customers struggle to bring their finance, sales,
operations and procurement departments
together (as one) to face challenges in overall
growth. Be it introducing a new product,
defining trade events, or designing a demand
driven supply network, the organization
generally has a tough time figuring out what
will be a good role based approach to bring a
centralized system inside the organization.
How we can help
Through years of working with Fortune 1000
companies, implementing software solutions
on the Oracle® eBusiness Suite, Fujitsu has
developed unique skills and intellectual
property that expands on the base software
product. This allows us to create a value chain
solution that can be customized for your
specific business.
The Problem

are facing greater pressure to achieve higher
revenue, profits, and growth. This increasingly

Chain. To help relieve some of this pressure,
