Yokohama Tire Philippines (YTPI) recently sealed an agreement with Oracle (Philippines) Corporation to increase its human resource (HR) operational efficiency and productivity as well as to better manage its larger workforce.

Under the agreement, Oracle partner Supply Chain Consulting (SCC) will implement Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management, including Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources and Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise Time and Labor and Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition in YTPI’s HR system.

The deployment of Oracle’s HR applications is seen to help YTPI remove loopholes in its HR processes, produce higher productivity for its HR department and be able to drill down to transactional level for any employee inquiry.

The new system, which is expected to be fully up and running before the year ends, will finally be able to record  YTPI’s real time employee nonattendance, overtimes, change in time shift of employees, and determine the best person to stand in for an absent employee.

YTPI is one of the largest company in the Clark FreeportZone in Pampanga with more than 1,600 regular employees and more than 350 agency workers.

As the local subsidiary of Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd. of Japan, the company produces quality passenger car radial tires and recreational vehicle tires for the global market.

“YTPI’s people is one of our greatest assets but managing it has always been a challenge for a company such as ours whose operations run nonstop, 24/7,” said Tomohiro Yoneko, executive vice president, YTPI. “To help us gain significant HR intelligence and performance and boost our plant’s productivity, we chose Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Capital Management applications because of its leadership in HCM technology, which we expect to be implemented smoothly and without interruption to our business operation.”

“We are glad that YTPI has tapped Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM solutions as it takes it HR systems on a higher level,” said Ryan Guadalquiver, managing director, Oracle (Philippines) Corporation. “Oracle is committed to helping our customers transform their businesses’ most important resources – their employees.”
