- ORTEC's innovative manufacturing solution presents a complete end-to-end solution that supports the entire length of the supply chain, following the company's signature six-step approach that allows companies to predict, prepare, plan, execute, monitor, and improve across their operations. Performance analysis compares planned versus actual results to support continuous improvement and to reduce cost to serve.

"For many manufacturers, supply chain and logistics comprise more than 10% of overall costs on average, which has a huge impact on company profits. ORTEC's Manufacturing solution helps companies manage the complex logistics landscape by using their existing data to make more informed decisions," says Aaron Geiger, managing director of manufacturing at ORTEC. "With better planning and more accurate forecasting, they see higher efficiencies, improved utilization of labor and resources, and lower supply chain costs."
