ABOUT THE SUMMIT

This Year Cost Engineering Meets The AI Era

AI is rewriting the cost engineering playbook. This summit shows how leading manufacturers are putting AI and automation to work in costing today, with real commodities, real time savings, real business impact.

The methodology question:
Bottom-up vs. top-down

Scaling with Al Data Agents:
From 700 to 3,000+ calculations - what's automatable today, and where it still falls short

Technology Module Framework (TMF):
Build, adapt, or bring your own Excel logic into Tset Studio - versioned, deployed on your schedule

Costing Intelligence Platform:
Benchmark data meets costing execution for one fact-driven view across the product lifecycle

From knowing to doing:
Turning cost insight into systematic action

Tset Studio software AI assistant
MEET THE SPEAKERS

Where practitioners 
shape what's next

These use cases and frameworks aren't theory, they're being implemented right now by the people running cost engineering inside their organizations. At Cost Intelligence Summit, senior practitioners take the stage to share how they're putting AI and automation to work today.
