How to Reduce Manufacturing Costs Through Energy Supply Chain Decisions
About this Event
Overview
Energy is no longer just a utility expense - it’s a critical driver of cost, risk, and resilience across your supply chain. This session shows how leading manufacturers are integrating energy into Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) to make smarter sourcing and operational decisions.
This dynamic session will include a thought leadership presentation and discussion on how energy impacts Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and why it should be treated as a core input in supply chain decision-making - not an afterthought.
Participants will learn how incorporating energy into TCO reveals hidden costs, improves supplier selection, and strengthens supply chain resilience in an increasingly volatile environment.
Why Attend
In U.S. manufacturing, energy can represent a significant share of production costs in certain industries - and price volatility continues to impact margins and operational stability. Yet, most organizations evaluate suppliers and operations using traditional cost models that overlook one critical variable: energy.
Organizations that proactively manage energy as a strategic input are better positioned to protect margins, reduce disruption risk, improve operational performance, and build more resilient supply chains.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
· Identify where energy is quietly driving cost, margin, and risk
· Improve sourcing decisions using energy-integrated TCO
· Understand how energy volatility impacts supplier reliability and performance
· Strengthen supply chain resilience through energy-aware strategies
· Ask the right executive-level questions to uncover hidden inefficiencies
