Case Study: Mitsubishi Aluminum achieves 40% faster sales and production processing and 30x faster reporting with Oracle

Mitsubishi Aluminum Processes Sales and Production Data 40% Faster, Generates Reports 30x faster, and Ensures Continuous Manufacturing Operations

Mitsubishi Aluminum Co., Ltd., a global manufacturer of aluminum sheets, coils, foils, and extruded products, needed to improve manufacturing efficiency, handle growing transaction volumes, and ensure continuous operations across multiple plants. The company’s challenge was to consolidate six separate sales and production databases into a single, high-performance platform to speed processing, improve response times, and provide robust disaster recovery.

By adopting Oracle Database 12c’s Multitenant option and consolidating databases onto Oracle Database Appliance (with help from partner TIS Inc.), Mitsubishi Aluminum accelerated sales and production processing by 40% and cut report generation time from 15 minutes to about 30 seconds (30x faster). The new solution delivered minutes‑level recovery versus up to three days previously, reduced operating and maintenance costs, simplified upgrades and recovery, and used Oracle Active Data Guard and high‑availability best practices to minimize data loss and prevent costly production outages.
