Smiths Manufacturing Lowers Administrative and Warehouse Costs While Managing Rapid Growth

Overview Fueled by high demand for its quality products, Smiths' revenue increased by 150% between 2000 and 2005, with 80% in headcount growth. Smiths had the foresight to begin replacing its unscalable legacy systems before its growth spurt. In 1999, motivated to increase production profits, the company selected Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and began a modular deployment, first rolling out Financial Management, and later adding Sales and Distribution, and Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management, and Human Capital Management. Smiths' JD Edwards EnterpriseOne implementations have resulted in direct cost savings for the company in the first six years of deployment.
