Q4 margin at risk at two of four plants — power and carbon both jumped
€3.1M exposure this quarter · both thresholds fired overnight
Drafted for you — unsent
Three moves, staged: lock the Q4 power hedge, shift volume to the unaffected plant, raise the alternative-fuel mix — with the margin each protects.

Flag an input-cost move that puts any plant below its margin plan, with the exposure quantified per plant.
Checks and thresholds change by asking. There is no builder to learn.

Q4 margin at risk at two of four plants — power and carbon both jumped
Both cleared above their thresholds overnight. At those levels two of the four plants fall below their margin plan — and the Q4 volume already committed to them was priced against the old ones.

The margin check
The same six steps, and who is still doing them.
- Pull the overnight power and carbon settlementsChecked before anyone logs in
- Pull each plant's cost base from the ERPChecked before anyone logs in
- Pull kiln telemetry and the alternative-fuel mixChecked before anyone logs in
- Reconcile the three into one margin per plantChecked before anyone logs in
- Decide which plants are exposedPlant director
- Agree the moves that protect the quarterPlant director, procurement
Two of the six still have a person on them, and they are the two that were always judgment.
