DELMIA Ortems Advanced Planning & Scheduling solution successfully extends traditional ERP by adding the power of constraint-based, finite-capacity resource optimization, and synchronization of production flows – from raw materials to finished products. The result is comprehensive digital continuity with artificial intelligence-driven decision support.

Simple Scheduling Amendments & Response

The DELMIA Ortems Manufacturing Planner assimilates every constraint – whether resource or product-related, while improving the long midterm planning processes of manufacturers (such as the Master Production Schedule).

Whereas MRP (Material Requirements Planning) produces unlimited capacity requirements, the Manufacturing Planner matches the Work-Order (WO) load with capacity and due dates to offer finite or limited capacity planning. The Manufacturing Planner offers load analysis views to rapidly pinpoint the manufacturing bottlenecks across all primary and secondary resources.

The wide range of interactive tools allow for schedule changes and what-if simulations – enabling manufacturers to rapidly react to contingencies in production, issues relating to capacity, and variations in customer demand across internal and subcontractor resources. Its load-leveling engine is configurable and rapidly detects capacity overloads as they arise.

Critical Collaboration Tools

The collaborative features of the Manufacturing Planner enable supply chain partners to remain engaged based on their responsibility level. Data relating to planning and KPIs can be shared in the organization, and together with customers, suppliers, partners, and subcontractors. The Manufacturing Planner’s design is innovative and easy to use, helping users predict and control load changes.
