DELMIA: The Intelligent Optimization Your MRP Software Lacks

Why Standard MRP Software Creates Problems

The Infinite Capacity Trap: Your MRP system generates plans assuming you have unlimited machines, tools, and labor, creating schedules that are impossible to execute on the shop floor.
Excess Inventory & Constant Shortages: Reliance on inaccurate forecasts leads to a "push" system that results in holding costly excess inventory while simultaneously suffering from critical material shortages.
A Never-Ending Cycle of Firefighting: Planners spend their days manually reworking schedules, expediting late orders, and reacting to problems instead of proactively optimizing production.
No Real Visibility: MRP decouples your work orders from specific customer demands, making it nearly impossible to prioritize effectively or give customers reliable delivery dates.

How DELMIA Adds Finite-Capacity Intelligence to Your MRP Data

The limitations of traditional MRP software are addressed by the logical evolution in planning methodology: Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS). Instead of just calculating materials, an APS system simultaneously plans and optimizes both materials and capacity in real-time.

DELMIA, powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, delivers market-leading APS solutions that seamlessly integrate with your existing ERP system to give you the intelligence your MRP module lacks.
