In 2019, UACJ Corporation implemented Works HI Company HR to centralize Core HR functions and advance a company-wide business process reengineering effort in human resources and labor. UACJ, a comprehensive aluminum manufacturer formed from the merger of Furukawa-Sky and Sumitomo Light Metal Industries, engaged Works Human Intelligence Co. under a consulting arrangement to expand the COMPANY integrated personnel system that the vendor has deployed at roughly 1,200 corporate groups. The project was driven by a strategic objective to build an organizational structure less susceptible to market fluctuations and to address high-expertise HR work that had impeded prior BPR efforts.
The deployment focused on Core HR modules, notably COMPANY HR/Salary for payroll and personnel management, with targeted configuration and workflow changes to support daily calculations and retroactive pay adjustments. UACJ reviewed and adjusted system settings and operational procedures to move verification work out of spreadsheet-based checks, and to automate calculations that had previously required manual correction against a 66-item checklist. Approximately 500 employees were subject to recalculation each month under the prior manual process, a volume that guided the configuration and automation priorities.
Automation was extended through robotic process automation for data processing tasks such as personnel record updates and payroll calculation processing, implemented in cooperation with PERSOL PROCESS & TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. The introduction of RPA alongside COMPANY HR/Salary reduced manual processing and lowered reliance on individual skill sets, producing an explicit savings of about 2,300 personnel work hours per year. The automated payroll check workflow consolidated validation logic previously distributed across spreadsheet verification formats.
Operational coverage centered on the HR and labor functions at corporate HQ and is planned for expansion across UACJ’s 26 domestic subsidiaries, with an explicit roadmap to develop a general-purpose RPA capable of handling common multi-user tasks like affiliation-based list management. Governance changes included a formal review of HR workflows and system settings under WHI consulting, and the rollout emphasized standardized operations to enable sustainable, repeatable HR processing across group entities. The implementation narrative positions Works HI Company HR as the Core HR backbone feeding both payroll and personnel management processes.
UACJ reported the project as a first substantive transformation experience for its human resources department and described the engagement as a meaningful asset, thanking WHI for advisory support that led to successful outcomes. The company intends to continue reviewing group-wide workflows and to pursue broader operational efficiency initiatives while building toward a more strategic HR organization based on the stabilized processes and automation introduced in this program.
