Running a perfectly oiled supply chain

Oil and gas supply chains are highly complex. They also see constant volatility due to shifting market dynamics and changing regulations. Ineffective supply chain management can result in lower worker productivity, decreasing production and ultimately, evaporating profits. Running a well-oiled operation is key to guarantee the long-term health of the business.

Improving short-term and long-term planning

A leading European Oil & Gas supplier wanted to optimize their entire chain, but they were finding it difficult to simultaneously analyze the impact of long-term strategic decisions and short-term operational changes. In short, they lacked the insights needed to make sound decisions on how to structure their business.

They needed an easy-to-use solution to analyze and optimize primary transport and handling costs, fixed location costs and secondary distribution costs. The company decided to replace their existing tool with a solution built by ORTEC.
