MANUFACTURING & SUPPLY CHAIN SOFTWARE
“No other industry can live and die as quickly as high tech if it succeeds or fails in manufacturing and supply chain,” Olivier Ribet said in an interview about a recent event Dassault Systèmes held in high- tech-rich Shanghai.
“When there’s something like a natural disaster, nobody
can control that,” Ribet said. “But the biggest challenge that these high-tech companies have in manufacturing is the lack of consistency in controlling tightly the material flow. The guys who are doing TVs and screens are con- stantly exposed to that. The guys who are doing semicon- ductors are particularly exposed to that. This is where we are seeing fast-growing demand.” High-tech product manufacturers’ speed needs are
greater than aerospace and defense and automotive com- panies’ needs, he said. “It is easier to track the manufactur- ing of a plane than a smartphone.”
becoming inpatient: If your product is not ready when it is launched in the global market, they will pick another product.” Manufacturers expect some defects, but they are learn-
ing how critical it is to contain defects once they are discov- ered, Ribet said. “When you don’t contain the defect, when you cannot trace the defect quickly to the root, it becomes a big, big manufacturing and industrial problem, as well as a communication and marketing nightmare.” To help manufacturers manage and trace subcontrac-
tors, ensure suppliers are consistently delivering the quali- ties that they need, and avoid post-production product inspection and quarantine, Dassault Systèmes sells indus- try solutions based on ENOVIA , QUINTIQ and DELMIA. “The combination of these three solutions has addressed that, and we signed several large deals this year.” Dassault Systèmes bought QUINTIQ and Ortems
recently to help beef up its software suite addressing material flow management, resources planning, forecast and demand management.
