ORtEC optimises<br />
Gulf supply chain<br />
Gulf oil has renewed its cooperation with<br />
oRTEC, a leading supplier in resource<br />
optimization tools and consulting services.<br />
The cooperation between Gulf oil and<br />
oRTEC focuses mainly on the optimization<br />
of supply chain processes and inventory<br />
management. Gulf oil and oRTEC have<br />
already been working together successfully<br />
for over 10 years. Gulf oil recently<br />
reported a significant cost reduction by<br />
using oRTEC’s demand forecasting and<br />
order generation software in combination<br />
with oRTEC’s route and distribution planning<br />
software. The optimum allocation<br />
of Gulf’s vehicle fleet next to optimized<br />
orders generated on a just-in-time basis<br />
smoothen Gulf’s daily operations and have<br />
resulted in cost savings, enhanced return<br />
on investment and increased customer<br />
satisfaction. “oRTEC software taught us<br />
how to optimize our supply chain’’, says<br />
Gulf’s logistics Manager Kirsten Vernimmen.<br />
“oRTEC really encourages us to<br />
re-think the way we work and involves us<br />
pro-actively’’.<br />
