Both companies share the same consulting culture, and use the same modeling methodology that combines systems thinking and constraints analysis to describe complex business problems. “Our company cultures are very much alike. That’s why Brightrivers is so happy with this match. No one understands us better than they do”, says Jean Gayral, founder of Brightrivers.
The high value consulting of Brightrivers together with the optimization software and consulting of ORTEC provides the process industry with a solution to support strategic decisions (i.e. investment deployment, supply chain and manufacturing network design) as well as tactical decisions regarding the industrial structure (i.e. design of optimal production and distribution concepts, and improvement of the supply chain).
As a subsidiary of ORTEC, Brightrivers will continue its consulting services to their clients. “Nothing will change for our clients. We will continue to consult our clients with our unique high value approach as they are used from us. However, in cooperation with ORTEC we will be able to address the challenges of the entire supply chain including manufacturing issues as well as logistic issues”, says Jean Gayral.
