DELMIA Ortems
Advanced APS with constraint-based, finite-capacity resource optimization, & synchronization of production flows
Your Shop Floor, Under Control.
DELMIA Ortems is an advanced planning and scheduling (APS) software that helps manufacturers build realistic production plans based on real-world constraints like machine capacity, labor availability, and material flow. It replaces static spreadsheets and guesswork with dynamic, real-time schedules you can actually execute. Ortems gives you the agility to respond to changes fast, keep production on track, and deliver on time.
Major global manufacturers drive operational efficiency with DELMIA Ortems:
Shorter Lead Times & More Throughput
Optimized, constraint-based schedules keep machines, labor, and materials working at full potential, reducing downtime and speeding output.
More On-Time Delivery & Customer Satisfaction
Plans are built on actual capacity, so delivery dates are realistic. Instant updates keep you on track when priorities change.
Real-Time Visibility into Production
See order status, upcoming bottlenecks, and the impact of changes before they affect performance.

Less Inventory & Lower Operating Costs
Synchronize material needs with the production plan to avoid overstock and excess work-in-progress, freeing up cash and space.
Agility When Plans Change
Rapidly replan around disruptions like equipment breakdowns or supply delays, without starting from scratch.
DELMIA Ortems WHITEPAPER
Plan with APS. Execute with MOM. Lead Your Market.
This executive brief shows operations and supply-chain leaders how integrating DELMIA APS with manufacturing operations management (MOM) closes the loop between planning and execution, grounded in real-time shop-floor signals, not assumptions. It clarifies where ERP stops and why APS’s scenario-driven, constraint-based scheduling plus MOM’s visibility delivers measurable results.
What you’ll learn:
- The roles of ERP, MOM, and APS and why MOM/APS complement ERP rather than replace it.
- What modern APS really does: multi-scenario “what-ifs” with real-world constraints (materials, capacity, skills, setups, multi-level BOMs) to protect due dates while cutting cycle time.
- How MOM turns plans into performance: IIoT machine/asset/operations data feeds dynamic re-planning and eliminates spreadsheet fragility.
- Proof points executives can trust: see reports of ~40% less inventory, ~50% shorter cycle times, 25% increased throughput, 90% less OEM quality claims, and more.
- A practical roadmap: assess operational maturity, close process/tech gaps, and define KPI-based rollouts.
See how integrating APS + MOM can lift OTIF and productivity while reducing working capital—starting in your next planning cycle.
“Thanks to DELMIA Ortems, updating the planning takes only two hours a day, compared to the six hours I previously spent.”

DELMIA Ortems Whitepaper
Replace Spreadsheets with Simulation-Driven Scheduling
Operations leaders still planning in ERP or Excel are flying blind on capacity. This executive whitepaper shows how DELMIA Ortems APS plans material and capacity together with a finite-capacity engine, then uses IIoT/MOM signals and simulation to keep schedules executable as reality changes. Expect shorter lead times, higher OTIF, and lower WIP/working capital.
What you’ll learn:
- Why top-down ERP/MRP and spreadsheets can’t produce a feasible schedule, and how APS solves it in one pass.
- How simulation and live shop-floor data let you re-optimize in seconds when constraints or demand shift.
- What executives can expect: average customer results include 50% shorter cycle time, 25% less setup, 60% planning time savings, and 40% lower inventory, plus full planning/monitoring of work orders.
- Where it pays off most: complex discrete, CPG, and process manufacturers facing volatile demand and product proliferation.

- Treating APS like a one time install vs. an operational discipline
- “Garbage in, garbage out” data (fix times/calendars first)
- Over customizing before nailing the basics
- Skipping change management and training
DELMIA Ortems CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORIES
DELMIA Ortems Case Study
Novares unifies 18 plants, turns volatility into on-time delivery
Novares, a global automotive plastics supplier, standardized planning across 18 plants with DELMIA Ortems Production Planning & Scheduling to tame volatile demand and thousands of SKUs. By moving to a single, constraint-based environment, the team generated realistic, executable schedules, extended visibility from days to weeks, and centralized KPIs for faster decisions.
The results speak for themselves: a 98.5% customer service level group-wide, supplier service above 90%, average inventory trimmed to 8 days (with some sites 30–40% lower), and costly expedites largely eliminated—alongside quicker daily decision-making and productivity gains on the shop floor. Download the case study to see how Ortems boosts on-time performance, agility, and throughput at scale.
DELMIA Ortems Case Study
Mitsubishi Chemical moves from wallboards to real-time scheduling
Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers swapped paper wall-boards and manual SAP updates for DELMIA Ortems, unifying scheduling for its TPE and PVC operations in one collaborative plan. With processes captured in the system, shop-floor managers can even adjust weekend schedules in minutes without calling in expert planners—keeping production moving and stress down.
The impact is tangible: planners save ~25% of their day (2–3 hours each), delivery commitments are kept more reliably, and collaboration improves across purchasing, supply, production, IT, and sales. The rollout moved quickly—live in under 10 months—and the team retired the wall board just two days after launch.

DELMIA Ortems Case Study
Comez shortens setups, reduces delays, and ships on-time more
Comez International—an Italy-based leader in narrow-fabric machinery—digitized its planning with DELMIA Ortems to orchestrate high-mix, tailor-made machine builds. With real-time visibility across work orders, machine tools, setups, and shifts, the team allocates resources faster, keeps deadlines, and even pivoted during COVID-19 to deliver knitting machines for protective masks and elastic ear loops.
The payoff: 30% fewer forecast errors, 27% fewer production delays, 20% shorter setup times, and an 8% lift in output—performance that also earned Comez a Manufacturing Leadership Award for Operational Excellence.
