What is DELMIA Ortems?

DELMIA Ortems is an advanced planning and scheduling solution that helps manufacturers improve agility, profitability and on-time delivery across long-, mid- and short-term horizons. By synchronizing demand, supply and production, it enables rapid response to market volatility, operational disruptions and shop-floor events. 

Using a virtual twin of machines, materials, workforce and processes, its AI-powered, finite-capacity optimization improves resource utilization, production flow and rescheduling speed.

What Does DELMIA Ortems Do?

DELMIA Ortems is a powerful planning and scheduling solution that helps manufacturers optimize operations through a digital twin. By integrating ERP, MES, and operational data, it considers demand, inventory, material availability, work orders, resources and constraints to generate optimized plans. 

Its AI-powered optimization improves on-time delivery, throughput, lead times, costs, resource utilization and inventory levels. Planners can adjust schedules and capacity, while what-if simulations and operational KPIs support informed decisions and continuous improvement.

DELMIA Ortems by the Numbers

  • 50%

    Reduction in production cycle times compresses manufacturing lead times and reduces work-in-progress (WIP) by optimizing production flow and constraint-based scheduling.

  • 40%

    Lower stock and inventory levels minimizing buffer inventory and excess stock through multi-level Bill of Materials (BOM) synchronization and just-in-time material coordination.   

  • 40%

    Boost in customer service levels improvings on-time, in-full delivery performance and lead-time reliability by resolving operational bottlenecks before they impact delivery schedules.

  • 25%

    Shorter production planning time speeding up the development of production schedules and cuts the daily manual workload of planners by eliminating static spreadsheet tracking.

Key DELMIA Ortems Features

Model

Create a precise virtual twin of manufacturing operations across long-, mid- and short-term horizons. Model machines, labor, materials, processes and constraints to reflect shop-floor reality.

Plan

Synchronize demand, capacity and material supply. Rapidly reschedule for demand changes, new orders and disruptions such as late deliveries, breakdowns, labor shortages and quality issues.

Optimize

Use configurable optimization for scheduling, load leveling and production synchronization. Balance business priorities to generate efficient, feasible and cost-effective plans.

Simulate Scenarios

Run what-if simulations, compare alternative plans against KPIs and assess impacts before execution.

Collaborate

Provide end-to-end visibility into plans, constraints and business impacts. Align supply chain, production and engineering teams around shared objectives.

Analyze

Monitor KPIs including on-time delivery, lead time, throughput, adherence, cost and utilization. Analyze performance, identify root causes and uncover planning insights.

Key Benefits of DELMIA Ortems

Improve On-Time Delivery

Utilize finite-capacity, constraint-based scheduling to optimize resource utilization and synchronize material flows.

Achieve Better Responsiveness

With a virtal  twin of the production floor, integrate directly with ERP and MES systems to provide tracking of material availability, machine statuses and labor constraints.

Use Throughput Optimization

Identify the primary bottlenecks or constraints on the factory floor and schedule production around them.

Enhance Collaboration

By creating a centralized, real-time virtual twin of the production schedule, everyone—from upper management and supply chain planners to shop floor supervisors—collaborate around the exact same data.

Gain Better Visibility

Dramatically improve operational visibility by consolidating production data from siloed systems into one centralized, visual platform. By shifting manufacturers from reactive guesswork to proactive, data-driven planning, users see exactly how day-to-day variables affect the shop floor.

How Does DELMIA Ortems Leverage Artificial Intelligence?

DELMIA Ortems uses a configurable AI-powered optimization engine to align demand, production and supply, balance loads and generate detailed schedules across planning horizons. Integrated with DELMIA Scheduling Intelligence, it combines machine learning, predictive analytics and AI-assisted decision support to monitor KPIs, detect plan-versus-actual deviations, identify root causes and anticipate disruptions. This helps planners act earlier, collaborate across teams and improve schedule adherence, execution efficiency and production reliability.
