Total Value Optimization (TVO)TM

TVO delivers measurable and long-lasting enterprise value improvement leading to improved fund performance, by driving enhanced value and resilience across the entire buy-make-move supply chain and operation.

Total Value Optimization (TVO)TM

Most consulting firms deploy a traditional consulting model, looking to identify savings with point solutions; for example, strategic sourcing, forecasting, inventory management, lean manufacturing, or distribution. However, successful implementation of point solutions do not deliver substantial and long-term EBITDA, service, and resilience gain.

The TVO Difference - Don’t settle for marginal improvements

Total Value OptimizationTM is the best approach we have seen to achieve integrated supply chain excellence in logistics, operations, and procurement
