DELMIA Quintiq

DELMIA Quintiq is Dassault Systemes' supply chain planning and optimisation product, covering supply chain planning, manufacturing scheduling, logistics and workforce planning in one model. It sits in the DELMIA portfolio alongside Apriso, Ortems, Augmented Experience and DELMIAWorks, and is aimed at organisations modelling complex end to end operations.

Planning the workforce in the same model as the production schedule is the design decision that distinguishes it, and it addresses a failure that is common and expensive. A manufacturing schedule that assumes staff are available, and a roster built separately against labour rules and shift preferences, will disagree, and the disagreement surfaces on the day as an unrunnable shift. Solving both together produces a plan that respects machine capacity and labour constraints at once.

Aligning operational execution with strategic intent is the stated purpose, and the practical form of that is planning across horizons. Decisions made in a strategic network plan constrain what a weekly schedule can do, and a tool that models only one horizon leaves the other to spreadsheets.

Breadth of scope is also the buying consideration. A product spanning four planning disciplines is an implementation project rather than a subscription, which suits large operations and rules out smaller ones.
