Meet Tony ‘Total Cost of Ownership’ Cerilli

The importance of understanding and being able to quantify all of the costs in your supply stream is critical to applying a strategy to your sourcing decisions. This session establishes Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) terms and concepts. It also provides a review of supply chain dynamics and the role of dependency and variation relevant to supply chain costs. You will learn how to identify and measure TCO cost drivers and be introduced to the program’s comprehensive  TCO calculator.  Developing a strategic sourcing plan, complete with TCO and Risk Management components is critical for success.

Upcoming events in South Carolina are currently accepting registrations.

Meet Tony Cerilli, Engagement Manager, GENEDGE Alliance (VA) and MEP SCO team member responsible for developing the program, including the calculator, which allows manufacturers to compare up to 4 different suppliers at one time. It also takes into consideration dependency and variation, as well as labor costs around the world.
