Background RE Trend

Fundamental SCM: “a global network used to deliver products and services from raw materials to end customers through an engineered flow of information, physical and cash” (APICS-the association of operation management)

SCM entities Supply chain consists of all stages involved directly or indirectly in fulfilling a customers requests/ requirements. It includes not only the manufacturer and suppliers but also transporters, warehouses, retailers and customers themselves.

SCM Facts  The three flows in a supply chain are: Product Information Money  The core purpose of any supply chain is to satisfy customer needs and generating profits for itself.  The objective of every chain is to maximize the overall value generated through – Faster and timely delivery Improved quality and services. Reduced cost

Scope Wind Power Plant Solar Power Plant Biofuel Geothermal

Wind Power Plant The increasing size of wind turbines is causing supply chain challenges. Over 8,000 parts in a single wind turbine The components vary in manufacturing requirements will drive the nature of SC

Wind Turbine Part

Solar Supply Chain The solar supply chain involves a variety of players in both the production and services sectors.

SC-Opportunities in the Solar Industry Manufacturing: This involves production but can also include procurement of raw materials; training; servicing equipment and distributing or marketing PV cells. Distribution: There are many independent solar distributors, as well as firms that prefer to both produce and distribute. Independent distributors sometimes specialize in solar, but more common are electrical distributors who break into the solar business. Installation Infrastructure conversion Energy storage

The Biofuels Supply Chain

SC-Opportunities in the Solar Industry SC for biofuels consists of five main steps: feedstock production feedstock logistics biofuels and co-product production distribution end use.

The Geothermal Supply Chain The geothermal supply chain supports a variety of jobs in the legal, engineering and construction sectors at different points in the supply chain.

SC-Opportunities in Geothermal

Expected Outcomes Setting up reliable, cost-effective supply chains to take inventory of supply chain assets and to develop programs that help suppliers retool for renewable industries. Examines supply chains for wind, solar, geothermal and biofuels manufacturing and identifies strategies that economic developers are using to strengthen them.
