 “Through our project with Maine Pointe, we connected decades of internal process knowledge with a contemporary “tool kit” that delivered tremendous financial results.  We took a very good business and made it a much better one and left our staff with new skills that have continued to guide our journey of improvement.  The change process wasn’t easy, but it was worth it, and we have regularly engaged key Maine Pointe team members as trusted and knowledgeable advisors, long after the project concluded.”

Demand Driven Value Network

Demand-centric supply chains are faster and more profitable. We help you use DDVN to master the new business equation: delivering exceptional value to your customers, driving increased market share while significantly cutting costs.

DDVN sows the seed for transformation – and within months, puts millions of dollars in your pocket. Your organization moves from being dependent on forecasts and reactionary planning systems toward a powerful sense-and-response model where real demand signals – in the form of consumer consumption – trigger effective action across your operations and across your entire supply chain.

Maine Pointe’s customers are equipped to build products ‘just when the customer wants it’ – and derive massive business benefits at the same time:

  • Dramatically reduce lead times to gain market share

  • Minimize idle inventory

  • Optimize production to meet demand

  • Protect margin by working with suppliers to keep pricing fluid

  • Reduce logistics costs more than you’ve ever imagined

For any industry reeling from financial pressures or chaotic change, it delivers the perfect balance between customer service and cost, so you can dominate your market and thrive.

"A division of a specialty chemical and performance materials company improved EBITDA by $11M – 5% of revenue – and reduced inventory by $19M."

 Seven Questions to Ask

These 7 questions will help determine if this comprehensive strategy – which encompasses all aspects of your business – is for you:

  • Are you able to dominate your market through unmatched lead times?

  • Are you carrying too much inventory?

  • Are your inventory turns 2x to 3x greater than your best competitor?

  • Do you want to respond faster to market changes?

  • Could your supply chain be more effective?

  • Why don’t you have what you need ‘when you need it?’

  • Could you optimize working capital even more?

  • How significant is forecasting to creating the excess inventory?

We help you get the right answers. In fact, we are the only industry experts who approach your business from a customer-centric perspective, and a true horizontal view of your supply chain. This demand-centric view begins with the customer, and ties all the way back through your suppliers, and your suppliers’ suppliers – to increase the velocity of your entire supply chain. By assessing the whole, we optimize each and every practice area.
