Supply Chain
DELMIA Supply Chain Planning solutions are designed to elevate sustainability in your operations. A precision supply chain virtual twin, with advanced optimization algorithms, real-time visibility, and predictive analytics, DELMIA empowers businesses to reduce waste and carbon footprints.
Leverage these innovative solutions to enhance sustainable logistics, network efficiency and align your supply chain with environmental goals for responsible, sustainable practices.
Manufacturing Operations Management
DELMIA Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) solution provides key capabilities for manufacturing sustainability. IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) connectivity enables monitoring of production resources in real time. This provides visibility to inefficiency and enables intervention through machine maintenance and process improvement. This in turn leads to higher quality and reduced scrap, which reduces waste in both lost material and repeat production. Increased efficiency reduces CO2 footprint by maximizing products produced per time period. Connection to environmental systems, like water and energy consumption, enables identification of hotspots enabling targeted reduction measures.
What Our Customers Say
DELMIA has helped us reduce our stock by 27%, increase our productivity by 18% and reduce waste by 35%.
Thanks to DELMIA’s real-time KPIs, the quality of execution and our capacity to better manage our resources improved our industrial performance. Moreover, we’ve reduced disruption to our supply chain and slashed the rate of non-quality and waste by 50%.
Our sustainability strategy is to reuse, not recycle. By using steel, a sustainable, reusable material, we’re mitigating our impact on the planet and ensuring our building components can be used again in the future. There is no cutting or waste on site because most of the building has been prefabricated, reducing waste by 90% compared to conventional methods.

FAQ on Sustainable Operations & Production Manufacturing
Transforming a factory into an environmentally responsible operation requires a multifaceted approach. It starts with ensuring all employees agree to this approach, from the top down, and it becomes the culture within a factory. Following that, implementing energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems can significantly decrease power consumption. Factories can integrate closed-loop water systems to minimize water waste and implement advanced filtration for reuse. Transitioning to biodegradable packaging materials and exploring alternatives to single-use plastics reduces environmental impact.
Investing in cutting-edge machinery and solutions improves overall plant performance. Employee training programs on green practices foster a culture of environmental stewardship, ensuring long-term commitment to sustainability goals.
Sustainable production encompasses a variety of practices aimed at reducing environmental impact while maintaining economic viability. For example, using renewable energy sources decrease a factory's carbon footprint.
Some manufacturers focus on resource efficiency by implementing circular economy principles, which involve designing products for durability, reuse, and recycling. This approach not only conserves raw materials, but also minimizes waste.
These strategies not only contribute to a greener future, but by having a sustainable factory also enhance a brand's reputation and appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
To tackle sustainability challenges, manufacturers should focus on integrating green technologies into their operations. With industries under pressure to reduce their environmental footprint and switch to circular economy, businesses can no longer ignore the risks. The demand for sustainable manufacturing is increasing, with governments and communities demanding meaningful change from the manufacturing sector. These changes affect every aspect of a manufacturing plant and its supply chain, resulting in a shift toward smart factories and digital value networks. Sustainable operations can eliminate waste, decrease pollution, improve environmental impact, and create significant value in manufacturing and supply chain management.
Implementing sustainable manufacturing practices has substantial rewards for businesses. Companies often see a significant reduction in operational costs through improved resource efficiency. For instance, optimizing energy use can lead to 15-30% savings on utility bills. Sustainable practices also open doors to new market segments. A Nielsen study found that 73% of global consumers would change their consumption habits to reduce environmental impact. This presents a golden opportunity for manufacturers to capture market share.
Also, adopting sustainable methods can enhance a company's reputation, potentially increasing brand value by up to 20%. It also mitigates risks associated with environmental regulations, ensuring business continuity and avoiding costly penalties.
Lastly, sustainable manufacturing fosters innovation, driving the development of innovative technologies and processes that can give businesses a competitive edge in the global marketplace.
Sustainable production refers to manufacturing and production processes that minimize environmental impact by using resources efficiently, reducing waste and pollution, and promoting safe, ethical labor practices. It integrates eco-friendly practices across the supply chain, from sourcing raw materials to distribution, with a focus on protecting ecosystems and promoting social equity.
Embracing lean manufacturing principles helps eliminate inefficiencies and cut down on material waste. Investing in advanced robotics and automation can enhance precision, reducing errors and resource consumption.
Manufacturers should also consider:
- Sourcing raw materials from certified sustainable suppliers
- Designing products for easy disassembly and recycling
- Utilizing biodegradable packaging materials
By integrating these practices, firms can lower operational costs, meet regulatory standards, and appeal to eco-conscious consumers. This holistic approach not only benefits the environment but also enhances long-term profitability and market competitiveness.
