Case Study: Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers improves planning efficiency with Dassault Systèmes DELMIA Ortems

Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers

Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, a manufacturer of thermoplastic elastomers and PVC products, faced challenges in managing its complex production planning. The company relied on inefficient manual wall boards for scheduling, which led to poor visibility, difficulty handling last-minute changes, and a lack of integration with its SAP system. This hindered proactive management and threatened its ability to meet delivery commitments. To address this, they turned to Dassault Systèmes for a solution.

Dassault Systèmes implemented its DELMIA Ortems Supply Chain Planning and Optimization solution. This digital system created a single, collaborative planning platform integrated with SAP, replacing the manual process. The results were substantial, including a 25% time savings for planners—equating to two to three hours per day—improved inter-departmental collaboration, and better on-time delivery rates which increased customer satisfaction. Dassault Systèmes' solution also provided the visibility needed to anticipate material shortages and optimize production.
