EEI, the Edison Electric Institute, is an association of shareholder-owned electric companies. EEI holds dozens of electricity conferences each year.

OW Presenter: Alan Feibelman

Mr. Feibelman will talk about the critical decisions and trade-offs executives must make as they create reliability and asset management strategies. He will explore a series of important decisions utility leaders must confront: Maintain or improve reliability performance? Focus more on frequency or duration, day-to-day operation or major events?  Prioritize today’s aging infrastructure or build the network of the future?  Address the least-reliable circuits first or neighborhoods where the political outcry is loudest?  He will also describe an approach for creating and implementing a reliability strategy.

Oliver Wyman Solution Synopsis:

Setting the Stage for Transformational Success in Manufacturing

Too often, organizations fail to realize sustainable, long term benefits from the implementation of lean techniques. Emphasizing only lean tools and techniques while failing to consider organization, more leadership and culture, early impact is typically strong, yet sustainable performance improvements are not achieved over the long term.

Conducting a detailed organization assessment, OW with deep manufacturing experience and a blend of management, analytical, and behavioral approaches helps to develop an aligned organization focused on the changes required to institutionalize and drive a sustainable lean transformation. We advise, support and empower leaders as change catalysts throughout each phase of the lean journey.
