  2. Roadmap to Global Manufacturing Excellence | Dassault SystèmesRetrieved 2026-10-18T22:54:17Z

    Two factors are necessary for a best-in-class MOM solution: global process flexibility and standardization. Flexibility is vital as processes must often be changed to reflect new market conditions, government regulations, or continuous improvement initiatives. Flexibility is also necessary to support multiple manufacturing modes—global manufacturing organizations typically have multiple divisions manufacturing many different types of products. This means global MOM platforms must support both discrete and batch processing, as well as hybrid modes. It also means supporting the spectrum from repetitive manufacturing to Make-To-Order or Engineer-To-Order. DELMIA Apriso supports each of these capabilities.
