Case Study: General Dynamics achieves streamlined operations and real-time visibility with Oracle Cloud ERP and SCM

General Dynamics streamlines with Oracle Cloud ERP and SCM

General Dynamics Mission Systems, a business unit of aerospace and defense company General Dynamics that builds C4ISR and cybersecurity systems, faced a fragmented set of legacy on‑premises finance and supply‑chain applications after years of growth and acquisitions. Reporting was manual and time‑consuming—employees had to collect and consolidate data across divisions—so leadership lacked consolidated, near‑real‑time visibility into finance, procurement, inventory, and order performance.

The company standardized on Oracle Cloud ERP, EPM, and SCM (with implementation support from Deloitte), replacing siloed systems with integrated cloud modules for financials, order management, manufacturing, procurement, inventory, supply‑chain planning and PLM. The change delivered near‑real‑time dashboards and a unified order‑to‑cash process, automated factory‑floor and change‑order workflows, improved capacity planning and pricing control, and lower maintenance costs plus the scalability, security, and anytime/anywhere access benefits of the cloud.
