SUMMARY:How to Reduce Manufacturing Cost Through Energy-Aware Supply Chain Decisions
DESCRIPTION:This executive session takes a deeper look at an issue that is increasingly shaping sourcing and supply chain decisions: energy. Energy is no longer just a utility expense. It is a hidden driver of cost\, risk and resilience across the supply chain. \nJoin the GENEDGE and the Greater Richmond Partnership to learn how leading manufacturers are integrating energy into Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) to make stronger sourcing and operational decisions in a volatile environment. \nOverview \nEnergy 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. \nThis 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. \nParticipants will learn how incorporating energy into TCO reveals hidden costs\, improves supplier selection\, and strengthens supply chain resilience in an increasingly volatile environment. \nWhy Attend \nIn 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. \nOrganizations 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. \nIn this session\, you’ll learn how to: \n\nIdentify where energy is quietly driving cost\, margin\, and risk\nImprove sourcing decisions using energy-integrated TCO\nUnderstand how energy volatility impacts supplier reliability and performance\nStrengthen supply chain resilience through energy-aware strategies\nAsk the right executive-level questions to uncover hidden inefficiencies\n\nAgenda \n8:30am – 9:00am – Breakfast/Networking \n9:00am – 9:15am – Kickoff & Introductions \n9:15am – 10:00am – Thought Leadership Presentation: How to Reduce Manufacturing Costs Through Energy Supply Chain Decisions \n10:00am – 10:30am – Facilitated Discussion \nWho Should Attend \n\nManufacturing executives (COO\, CFO\, VP Operations)\nSupply chain and procurement leaders\nPlant managers and operations leaders\nContinuous improvement and engineering professionals\nAnyone responsible for cost\, sourcing\, or operational performance\n\nWhat You’ll Walk Away With \n\nA clear framework for energy-integrated TCO\nPractical ways to apply energy insights to supplier selection and operations\nA better understanding of how energy affects cost-to-serve and profitability\nAn executive playbook to translate energy data into operational and supply chain decisions
