Fujitsu provides core business system for real-time information management of all Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force supplies

In light of recent international developments, discussions are underway to revise Japan's three key national security documents, which outline its basic foreign and security policy. The environment surrounding the JMSDF is rapidly changing, and strengthening combat sustainability in emergencies is expected to become increasingly important. In this context, the JMSDF's missions are becoming more complex and diverse each year, requiring a sustainable system capable of responding immediately to all situations with limited resources. To support the JMSDF's goal of transforming into a data-driven operation for rapid and optimal decision-making, Fujitsu has built and introduced this core system for managing all material information.
With this system, the JMSDF can centrally manage various material information, including parts supply, ammunition, medical supplies, and food, held by vessels, bases, and supply depots nationwide. This enables real-time and efficient grasp of information necessary for mission execution, facilitating rapid decision-making by commanders.
This system is based on SAP SE's ERP solution "S/4HANA® " and utilizes the "Defense & Security solution," which has been introduced in various countries. Fujitsu utilized its practical knowledge gained from its company-wide ERP refresh project to support the smooth system construction and operation of this extensive information management system, marking the first implementation of SAP SE's ERP solution in a Japanese central government agency.
Fujitsu will continue to promote the stable operation and continuous functional improvement of this system, contributing to Japan's national security by supporting more advanced supply and demand forecasting for materials handled by the JMSDF.
