Optimized Solution
Key Objectives • Lowest common UOM ($/WTG) within budget • Effective project management & execution • Contingencies in place • On-site control & communication
Conclusion
1. Wind farm logistics are uniquely challenged 2. Wind farm supply chain optimization requires
Unbiased approach to modes, nodes, and carriers Depth of expertise in procurement and multiple modes Formal process & methodology
3. Optimization is a key to competitiveness for both OEMs and developers
