Leading U.S. Utility Mitigates Weather Disruptions, Reduces Operational Costs by Partnering with GEP

A leading U.S. utility faced severe operational challenges when extreme weather threatened service continuity across six states. Compounded by rising inventory costs, siloed operations, and outdated processes, these issues weakened its emergency response and ability to meet customer expectations. The utility partnered with GEP to address these problems.

GEP designed and delivered a long-term supply chain resilience strategy focused on agility, technology, and efficiency. This partnership resulted in an 8% value capture and 6% savings in operations and maintenance costs for the utility. GEP's solution also streamlined inventory to reduce stockouts and waste, and provided a five-year roadmap that significantly improved the utility's emergency preparedness.
