Case Study: Armor improves shop floor scheduling and cuts lead times with Dassault Systèmes DELMIA

Controlling shop floor production with Armor

Armor, a world-leading manufacturer of thermal transfer ribbons, faced challenges in controlling customer lead-times, reducing product waste, and avoiding stock-outs while maximizing equipment uptime at its high-volume production plant. To address these issues, the company turned to Dassault Systèmes and implemented its DELMIA production planning and scheduling solution.

Dassault Systèmes' DELMIA solution provided Armor with the ability to synchronize its interdependent manufacturing shops and manage scheduling in a semi-automated fashion. The implementation resulted in a significant measurable impact, including a reduction in customer lead-time from ten to three business days, a 50% reduction in product stock-outs, and major time savings for schedulers.
