DELMIA Quintiq
Planning & Scheduling
Supply chain planning and scheduling software for complex, multi-site operations that standard planning tools can't model.
What is DELMIA Quintiq?
DELMIA Quintiq is planning and scheduling software from Dassault Systèmes for operations too complex for standard tools: multiple plants, depots, or fleets, and business rules that off-the-shelf software can't model.
It builds a digital model of your resources, people, and rules, and uses it to create plans you can actually execute, from long-range network decisions down to today's shift. Manufacturers, logistics providers, airlines, and rail operators use it where one planning error can cascade into costly delays.
Is DELMIA Quintiq right for you?
Companies usually turn to Quintiq when one of these sounds familiar.
“Our plan lives in spreadsheets and in one planner's head.”
Your rules and know-how are captured in the model, so plans are generated in minutes, can be explained, and don't depend on one person.
“Every site plans on its own, and nobody sees the whole picture.”
Plants, warehouses, fleets, and teams are planned in one model, so a decision at one site shows its impact on the others.
“One late truck or missing operator throws off the whole day.”
Quintiq replans in minutes and shows the knock-on effects, so teams recover before customers notice.
“Our planning tool can't handle how we actually operate.”
Quintiq is configured to your constraints and exceptions, instead of forcing your process into a standard template.
“Sales, finance, and operations bring different numbers to every meeting.”
Everyone works from one plan, with the cost, service, and capacity impact of each decision visible to all.
“We carry extra inventory and overtime because we don't trust the plan.”
Plans that respect real capacity let you reduce safety buffers while delivering on time more often.
Six solution modules, one optimization engine
Each module answers a different planning question, and all of them run on the same model. Select one to see who it is for, what it solves, and how it works.
Production planning & scheduling
What should each plant and line make, in what order, and when?
Optimized supply planning
Can we actually deliver this plan with the capacity, materials, and logistics we have?
Sales & operations planning
How do we get sales, operations, and finance to agree on one plan?
Logistics planning
How do we move goods, vehicles, and people at the lowest cost while keeping our service promises?
Workforce planning
Do we have the right people, with the right skills, on every shift?
Advanced analytics
How do we make our plans more accurate over time, using the data we already have?
Within the first three months, the KPI measurement framework has shown a reduction of the manufacturing cycle times by almost 30% for some products, with a corresponding reduction of WIP.
How does Quintiq optimize a plan?
Different planning problems need different math. Instead of forcing every problem through a single solver, Quintiq applies the technique best suited to each one, and combines them when a plan spans several problem types.
The approach holds world records on two benchmark problems: the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) and the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSSP).
Finds the best way to allocate limited resources when there are many options and a clear goal, such as lowest cost or highest margin. It can also show how close a plan is to the best possible answer.
Used for: Supply planning, S&OP, network and capacity decisions
Builds plans that satisfy large numbers of hard rules at once, such as "this line needs cleaning after product X" or "no one works more than 10 hours." It is strongest where finding any valid plan is already difficult.
Used for: Detailed production schedules, staff rosters
Finds efficient sequences and routes through many stops, each with its own time window and capacity. This is the technology behind Quintiq's world-record results on vehicle routing.
Used for: Vehicle routing, delivery planning, crew and job sequencing
Models your operation as a network of connected points, such as plants, warehouses, rail lines, or process steps, to plan how material, vehicles, or people flow through it.
Used for: Distribution networks, rail and fleet planning, multi-stage production flows
Quintiq's own modeling language. Your specific rules, objectives, and exceptions are written into the model itself, which is why Quintiq can be fitted to your operation instead of your operation being changed to fit the software.
Used for: Every Quintiq deployment
Wieland builds its own planning solutions on DELMIA Quintiq
Wieland, one of the world's leading copper and copper alloy specialists, replaced several aging planning systems with one standard DELMIA Quintiq platform. Its in-house IT team now develops and maintains its own Scheduler and Company Planner solutions, rolled out across production sites worldwide.
DELMIA Quintiq has made our scheduling more transparent. We can see all the issues affecting our schedules clearly and act on them. This has resulted in, among other things, a higher delivery performance.

Common questions about DELMIA Quintiq
DELMIA Quintiq is supply chain planning and scheduling software from Dassault Systèmes. It models your production, supply, logistics, and workforce in one optimization engine, configured to your own business rules, capacities, and KPIs.
Quintiq is strongest in complex operations: multiple sites, large fleets or workforces, many interdependent constraints, or rules unique to your business. If a standard planning tool or spreadsheet can model your operation well, Quintiq may be more than you need. If it cannot, that is where Quintiq stands out.
Supply chain planners, production schedulers, logistics managers, and workforce planners use it day to day. Operations directors and S&OP managers use it to align sales forecasts with capacity and financial targets across business units.
Planning works at the macro level: what needs to be made or delivered, and in what volume, over weeks, months, or years. Scheduling works at the micro level: the exact timing, sequence, and resources needed to carry out that plan. Quintiq handles both in the same model, so they stay consistent.
DELMIA Ortems is purpose-built for factory-level planning and scheduling: shop floor sequences, machine capacity, and material flow inside a manufacturing site. DELMIA Quintiq works at the wider supply chain level, handling multi-site production, logistics, transportation, and workforce planning across large, distributed operations. GoEngineer can help you decide which fits your needs.
Yes. Quintiq exchanges data with ERP, MES, and other enterprise systems, so plans are built on current orders, inventory, and capacity. It also connects with DELMIA Apriso for shop-floor execution.
GoEngineer is your first point of contact. We help you define your planning challenge, then bring in the right DELMIA Quintiq experts to scope and deliver the solution.
