C) Solutions and Benefits in DELMIA Portfolio on 3DExperience Platform

Optimize your complete Manufacturing Operations

With the manufacturing landscape increasingly customized and on-demand, one optimizes complex manufacturing process to achieve cost reduction and production efficiency.

Leverage the DELMIA Portfolio on 3DExperience Platform using

1. Digital Manufacturing (DM).
2. Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS).
3. Manufacturing Operation Management (MOM).

a) Leverage Three Operational Disciplines in Global Industrial Operations Using Digital Manufacturing Solutions

 

1) DIGITALIZATION OF MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING (DM)

Engineering in the Digital Age (Engineering)

Create 3D virtual processes on a data-integrated 3D virtual twin of the shop floor, to minimize risks and maximize opportunities with full operations visibility.

• Collaborative Manufacturing
• Process Planning
• Robotics
• Ergonomics
• Fabrication

 

For Manufacturing Engineering Excellence

• Extensive Virtual 3D Simulated planning and correlation to manufacturing assets
• Optimized simulation of people, plant and equipment’s.
• Capability studies factoring all resources.

 

2) ADVANCED PLANNING & SCHEDULING (APS)

Operate with Excellence (Planning)

Enable data-driven what-if scenario planning, and informed decision making.

• Sales and operations planning (Long term Planning)
• Master planning (Mid Term Planning)
• Detailed production scheduling (Short Term Planning)

 

For Advanced Planning and Scheduling

• Automated Planning and Scheduling to maximize and balance production lines.
• Proactive anticipation of plant capacity requirements.

 

3) MANUFACTURING OPERATION MANAGEMENT (MOM)

Planning never ends (Operations)

Optimize Manufacturing Execution Systems with smart integration to ERP and machines.

• Production
• Quality
• Warehouse & Inventory
• Maintenance
• Labour and Field Operations
• Traceability
• Intelligence
• Centre of Excellence

For Enhanced MES (MOM)

• Real-time track and trace of production and changed at all sites.
• Visibility, Control and synchronization of all global processes and resources.
• Operate with Compliance to process definition.

b) DELMIA Delivers four valuable Outcomes.

 

D) Success in Results

Long-term success in manufacturing depends on several factors listed below.

• Inventory reduction and annual efficiency saving in Plants.
• Reduction in lead time and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
• Reduction in inventory across multiple Plants.
• Increase in production capacity by optimizing layout and material flow.
• Gain in production throughput.
• Gain in “Right the First Time”.
• Reduction in quality issues.
• Annual cost savings from scrap reduction.
• Reduction of paper use on shop floor.
• Zero Parts Per Million (PPM) error rate achieved for shipment processes.
• Increase in product mix achieved, without additional capacity.
• New products successfully launched per year.
• “Time-to-Quality” reduced.
