S3 - Supplying Main Components

13 Nov - From 15:10 to 16:50

Introduction

Has your company excluded main components from your OEM's service agreement? You'll likely face challenges in ensuring reliable maintenance and sourcing replacement parts. However, by developing a main component supply chain, you can enhance flexibility, reduce dependency on OEMs, and potentially increase profitability through cost savings and improved operational efficiency. Join us to explore these possibilities and strategies for success. OEMs are putting a lot of restraints on the wind aftermarket, and the best approach to solve this is probably by approaching them in collaboration.

Devrim Topcu, Technology and Transformation Mentor at Enerjisa Üretim

Devrim has been improving wind farm supply chains for Alstom for three years & Siemens Gamesa for 17 years and is doing this today for Enerjisa. The Enerjisa Üretim group is currently internalizing operations and taking ownership of supply chains. Usually, these turbine-specific owners' meetings are hosted by O2O WIND, but we have asked our dear members to help us for Madrid.

A big thank you to Enerjisa Üretim!

Is this your cup of tea?

Are these the challenges you are expected to develop in your professional role?

  • How to secure reliable sources from alternative suppliers for critical components like gearboxes and generators.

  • How to secure quality control measures to uphold performance standards for non-OEM replacement components.

  • How to verify compatibility and seamless integration of main components with existing turbine systems and software.

  • How could WTG owners, in collaboration, disrupt monopoly arrangements in the wind aftermarket?

  • How to nurse strong vendor relationships and manage multiple component suppliers for timely delivery and quality assurance.

  • Identify and grow logistics and transportation processes to reduce costs and ensure timely component delivery to wind farm sites.

  • Develop robust risk mitigation strategies to address supply chain disruptions, warranty issues, and technical challenges associated with non-OEM components.

Joining this discussion with identical peers from other WTG owners will give you a broader understanding, an expanded network and valuable insights.
