Tags:
supply chain management

Overview Guangdong-based Midea Refrigeration Group is China's largest manufacturer of air-conditioners and refrigerators. The company boasts one of the biggest production facilities in the country, as well as a national research center. Its products are sold in more than 100 countries. Midea Refrigeration installed Oracle E-Business Suite in 1998, making it one of the first household appliances companies in China to use the solution. The company's domestic growth and overseas expansion had affected supply chain workflows by forcing changes to production planning and logistics. In July 2005, Midea Refrigeration upgraded to Oracle E-Business Suite 11i to support global expansion and boost competitiveness. The solution enabled the company to improve supply chain management and coordinate production and sales processes.
