Face New Challenges

To function, the construction industry depends on material procurement and on-site installation. City leaders, too, are responsible for ensuring local residents have reliable access to goods and services—raw materials, finished goods, utilities, labor, and more.

But supply and delivery dynamics are changing. New building materials must be sourced and transported. Modularized assemblies require changes to on-site coordination. Higher goals for reducing waste and recycling materials require entirely new business processes. And supply chain interruptions can occur if sources of goods and services are too centralized.

Leaders in construction and city services are expected to:

Improve supply chain agility and resilience, minimizing the impact of disruptions

Manage the costs of supplying critical goods and services to a region

Offer economic opportunities to the local population

Build and operate more sustainably, providing eco-friendly materials and processes

Adopt the strategy

To secure the flow of critical materials, products and services:

Stress-test the system. Run advanced simulations on the entire supply chain to expose potential threats, weaknesses and opportunities.

Go modular. Reduce costs and accelerate delivery timelines through modular design for fabrication and assembly processes.

Hire local. Establish local and regional partnerships. Diversify suppliers to manage costs and offer more opportunities to a local population.

Innovate. Encourage small- and medium-sized businesses to rethink their role in the supply chain. Simulate crises, like a global pandemic, to test cross-system impacts.

Be sustainable. Reduce carbon emissions. Reuse and recycle materials. Prioritize the procurement of trending green materials such as mass timber.

The 3DEXPERIENCE® platform connects people and systems to provide unmatched visibility into the supply chain. Advanced analytics and simulations on the platform offer the ability to reduce risk, increase resilience and manage costs of limited resources.

Success story

MG McGrath Customer Story

MG McGrath Fabricating Unique Solutions for the US Olympic Museum - Dassault Systèmes. Minnesota-based architectural surfaces manufacturer MG McGrath needed to accelerate its design to fabrication process while producing increasingly complex panel shapes and systems on the United States Olympic Museum in Colorado Springs. The company used Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform on cloud to streamline its concept to fabrication process and to accelerate decision making and innovation.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform, hence, has allowed us to offer more custom solutions at a much more affordable price.
