Fujitsu, the leading Japanese information and communication technology company, announces the launch of the Fujitsu Application for Engineering to order (ETO) on SAP Cloud Platform. This solution will improve the efficiency of operations, including estimating specifications, arranging materials after receiving orders, and issuing production orders, for manufacturers receiving orders for individual specification products. It will further reduce production lead time while enabling the prompt information sharing of specification changes among sales, design, and manufacturing departments.

With minimal master operation that enables production and parts information to be estimated and arranged even when it is not registered as master data, a navigator that aggregates essential business information, and a configurator that can determine the consistency of specification combinations during the sales process, the new solution alleviates the burden and shortens the cycle of estimating and arranging work.

Earlier this year, Fujitsu began collaboration with SAP Japan, and have developed solutions that extend the

functionality of standard SAP applications on SAP Cloud Platform to further improve the implementation efficiency of related solutions. This solution will be the first service from the company to industries under such cooperation, now being offered to manufacturing customers with Individual specification products.

Inheriting Fujitsu's experience in offering GLOVIA solutions for manufacturers and carrying out many SAP solution implementation projects, the new solution offers the functionality to improve on-site system usability utilizing the standard function of SAP S/4 HANA, on the SAP Cloud Platform. Furthermore, this SAP Cloud Platform development method minimizes the impact of upgrading SAP S/4 HANA. The key aspects of the solution are - enabling shorter manufacturing lead time with minimal master operation, minimizing operations with navigator consolidating key business information on one screen, and a configurator enabling consistent specification combinations during the sales process.

Priced at ¥ 20000000, the application will be made available to customers from December 23, 2019. Fujitsu will continue to offer SAP complementary solutions to globally support the digital businesses of customers in the manufacturing industry.
