## Summary

Sasan Hashemi, founder and CEO of Tset, explains how his company provides a data-driven platform for total cost of ownership (TCO) and carbon footprint analysis in electronics manufacturing. He details how Tset integrates internal PLM and ERP data with external market intelligence from partners like Nexar to replace fragmented Excel spreadsheets with a centralized source of truth. The discussion covers quantifying supply chain risks, balancing cost against sustainability metrics like CO2 emissions, and the future role of AI in interpreting complex manufacturing data.
