DELMIA Ortems

DELMIA Ortems is an advanced planning software that enhances traditional ERP systems by integrating with DELMIA Digital Manufacturing and DELMIA Apriso solutions. It focuses on constraint-based, finite-capacity resource optimization and synchronization of production flows, covering the entire process from raw materials to finished products.

Manufacturing Planner

The Manufacturing Planner component of DELMIA Ortems allows manufacturers to quickly identify bottlenecks, modify schedules, and conduct what-if simulations. It enhances Sales & Operations Planning and Master Production Schedule processes, making it crucial for companies managing complex production runs or long cycle times. The tool integrates all resource and production constraints, providing load analysis views to identify bottlenecks across primary and secondary resources.

Manufacturing Planner offers interactive tools for schedule modifications and simulations, enabling rapid responses to production contingencies and capacity issues. Its load-leveling engine optimally dispatches overload over time. Collaborative features keep supply chain participants engaged, sharing planning and KPI data across the organization and with partners, customers, subcontractors, and suppliers.

Key Benefits of Manufacturing Planner:

• Meet customer due dates
• Improve customer service
• Anticipate load fluctuations
• Synchronize production with other factories
• Reduce inventory and cycle time
• Re-synchronize flow lines
• Contingency planning to minimize disruptions
• Reduce planning time
• Easily integrates with ERP

Synchronized Resource Planner

The Synchronized Resource Planner provides a system for material flow and capacity synchronization, enabling Just-in-Time demand and manufacturing integration across all Bill of Materials levels. It coordinates purchase and work orders, creates provisional traceability, and forecasts material kitting orders, maximizing inventory and manufacturing capacity within production flow constraints.

This planner allows for collaborative management of different Material Requirement Planning (MRP) policies, tracking inventory, and fine-tuning capacity utilization. It offers interactive tools for a consolidated view of stock alerts, aiding quick reactions to potential issues.

Key Benefits of Synchronized Resource Planner:

• Reduce inventory
• Calculate finite capacity requirements
• Optimize flow lines and reduce waste
• Analyze impact across manufacturing
• Dynamic customer-to-supplier traceability
• Improve customer service and lead-time reliability
• Execute JIT, demand-driven production

Production Scheduler

DELMIA Ortems Production Scheduler provides detailed scheduling and integrated management of product and process constraints across multiple resources, including machines, tools, and operators. It offers short-term optimization for Made-to-Order or inventory-based production flows, improving production sequences and dispatching over plant resources.

The scheduler enhances agility through improved control and responsiveness to production fluctuations and demand changes. Its collaborative features engage supply chain participants, while its user-friendly design helps teams anticipate and control load fluctuations.

Key Benefits of Production Scheduler:

• Decrease cycle time and work-in-progress
• Enhance lead-time reliability
• Anticipate and control load fluctuations
• Simple user interface
• Maximize resource utilization
• Create schedules faster
• Easily integrate into ERP system
