Implementing DELMIA Quintiq advanced planning and scheduling solutions has led to transformative results across Sofia Med’s supply chain. 

Challenge

Based in Bulgaria, Sofia Med produces a wide range of rolled and extruded copper and copper alloy products. Because of the nature of its products, the company’s production process is complex, involving anywhere from 7 to 20 process steps and up to 50 separate resources. To stay on top of costs, lead times and avoid bottlenecks, Sofia Med sought a planning and scheduling solution that would bring full visibility to its production processes, improve material flow and support effective resource planning. 

Solution

Sofia Med selected the industry-leading production planning and scheduling solution from Dassault Systèmes and WHISCO Consultants, as prime contractor for the highly challenging implementation projects. It uses DELMIA Quintiq to develop detailed production plans that prioritize customer orders, integrate material and capacity requirements and constraints and optimize its resources.

Benefits

Dassault Systèmes’ planning and scheduling solution gives Sofia Med full visibility of its production value chain via a user-friendly interface. This allows it to plan ahead, respond rapidly to unplanned production events and stay on top of customer orders. Delivery performance has increased by 50%, leading to reduced lead times and a better-managed, more evenly distributed inventory.
