Background
Mitani (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Mitani Valve Co., Ltd. in Japan, has been a key player in the production of aerosol valves, sprayer pumps, and dispenser pumps since 1988. Their products serve a wide range of industries, including personal care, household goods, and industrial applications, with a strong supply chain linking Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) manufacturers.
Despite steady sales growth, Mitani (Thailand) faced operational inefficiencies due to its existing RPICS ERP system, developed in Japan. The system lacked support for crucial financial and accounting requirements, had limited functionalities, and was not optimized for Thai localization. To address these challenges, Mitani (Thailand) sought a comprehensive ERP solution that could enhance inventory accuracy, financial visibility, and operational efficiency.
The Challenge
Mitani (Thailand) needed an advanced solution to streamline the following key business functions:
- Inventory Management – Improve accuracy and turnover rates.
- Financial and Accounting – Enhance compliance with Thai regulations.
- Production Scheduling & Bill of Materials – Optimize manufacturing processes.
- Sales and Invoicing – Strengthen order management and customer satisfaction.
- Fixed Asset Management – Efficiently track and manage company assets.
- Multi-Currency Transactions – Support international business operations.
Profitability was also a growing concern, as the company’s increasing revenue did not translate into higher profit margins. The company needed a solution that would not only optimize operations but also drive long-term financial growth.
The Solution: SAP All-in-One Implementation
Understanding Mitani (Thailand)’s unique requirements, Aditya Group implemented the SAP All-in-One ERP solution, a specialized package designed for automotive component suppliers. The implementation focused on Material Management (MM), Financial Accounting (FI), and Controlling (CO) as part of the first phase, with additional functionalities planned for future enhancements.
Key Features of the SAP All-in-One Implementation:

- Pre-configured Industry Best Practices – Leveraging SAP’s global expertise to accelerate deployment and minimize customization efforts.
With Aditya Group’s proven expertise, the implementation was structured to be completed within four months, ensuring a rapid transition with minimal operational disruptions.
The Benefits of the Implementation
The SAP All-in-One solution delivered measurable improvements in multiple business areas:
- Reduced Sales Cycle & Increased Efficiency – Faster order processing and delivery, leading to improved customer satisfaction.
