In 2014, Akebono Brake USA implemented UKG Pro HCM (ex UltiPro HCM) for Core HR to centralize human resources operations at its Glasgow facility. The deployment was scoped to support the total Human Resources function for the Glasgow facility, including manpower and organizational planning, recruitment, staffing and associate development to support ABG.
UKG Pro HCM (ex UltiPro HCM) was configured to manage core HR records, onboarding workflows, payroll administration, leave management, fringe benefit administration and communication, and training record maintenance. Functional capabilities implemented include workers compensation case management, talent acquisition workflows for recruitment and staffing, and organizational planning tools to support headcount and manpower processes.
Operational responsibility includes maintaining and updating HRIS data in Ultimate Software as part of the Glasgow HR administrative processes while using UKG Pro HCM as the Core HR application for transactional HR and payroll tasks. The application serves as the primary system for onboarding and leave administration for the site, with the HR team maintaining training records and running associate relations programs through the platform.
Governance and daily operations were structured around an HR generalist model to administer UKG Pro HCM, lead leave management, manage payroll administration, communicate HR policies and oversee associate relations and workers compensation case management.

In 2015 Akebono Brake USA deployed QAD Enterprise Asset Management to centralize material planning and inventory control across its manufacturing operations, using Enterprise Asset Management capabilities to support procurement, requisitioning and inventory reconciliation. The deployment focused on two plant facilities and on workflows that directly support production transfers, chemical management and intercompany order forecasting.
Configuration emphasized inventory and procurement workflows within QAD Enterprise Asset Management, including creation and issuance of weekly vendor releases, creation of requisitions for production chemicals, management of QAD receipts and execution of cycle count and inventory transfer processes. Functional capabilities implemented included a Critical Parts List for chemicals, inventory control templates to set count frequencies, daily and monthly planning logs, and maintenance of a Production Chemical Tracker linked to EAM requisitioning.
Operational coverage integrated EAM usage with Finance, Indirect Purchasing, Shipping, Receiving, warehouse partners and logistics providers, coordinating intercompany order spreadsheets, international transport planning and overdue shipment tracking. Teams used QAD Past Due reporting and daily LTL tracking reconciled to QAD receipts, and planners coordinated with freight forwarders and carriers to manage shipment timing and expedite authorizations when required.
Governance and process changes included standardized planner responsibilities, documented runout scenarios for material substitutions, and participation in the annual physical inventory as an Area Release Auditor to validate counts entered into QAD Enterprise Asset Management. The program produced explicit operational outcomes, including consolidated raw material ordering to enable production transfer between plants and reduced monthly count requirements through revised inventory control criteria and cycle count scheduling.
