Reduce Lead Times & Inventory in Steel & Aluminum Production

The metals industry has reached a tipping point where traditional tools are no enough to maintain a competitive edge and manufacturers today face a convergence of structural pressures:

• Structural Margin Compression: Volatile raw material prices, rising energy costs, and new carbon tariffs like the EU's CBAM are squeezing margins.
• Shifting Customer Demands: Real-time visibility, smaller lot sizes, and shorter lead times have moved from "premium" requests to baseline requirements.
• Unmanageable Complexity: Multi-site networks and granular ESG reporting have pushed legacy APS systems and spreadsheets past their practical limits.

• The Supply Chain Virtual Twin: Create a live, optimized model of your orders, capacity, inventory, and logistics that updates in real-time.
• End-to-End Optimization: From work order planning and rolling mill sequencing to complex S&OP and financial-first planning.
• Integrated Intelligence: Seamlessly connect with DELMIA Apriso to ensure scheduling decisions are instantly visible and executable on the shop floor.
