What is Total Value OptimizationTM (TVO)?

 

TVO is the backbone of every SGS Maine Pointe engagement and our core philosophy.

 

TVO Pyramid-Feb-2022

TVO recognizes that every person, role, function, process, and system in your company affects the future of your company.

TVO eliminates functional silos, strengthens supply chain management, matures the entire organization, and unlocks value.

When procurement, operations, and logistics line up with each other and with company goals, your entire company benefits with sustainable growth, strategic decision making, fewer risks, added margin, lower costs, higher productivity, and more profit.

It’s time to turn your global supply chain into a competitive weapon.

TVO's impact on our clients

How we work with you on TVO

EBITDA Valuation

Nothing should stand in the way of your progress toward reducing risk and maximizing EBTIDA, cash, and growth performance. Yet, when procurement, operations, and logistics are at different stages of siloed maturity, your company suffers.

 

For example, engineering designs a product with parts that suppliers charge a premium for, impacting profits. Operations must reset their equipment every time the product comes through, delaying production. The warehouse overflows with parts no one is using and with products customers no longer want. The data you need to control this chaos arrives partial, late, or not at all.

 

With TVO, SGS Maine Pointe finds and eliminates the root causes, moving procurement, logistics, and operations up the maturity scale together.

 

We partner with every function in your organization to establish a firm foundation for growth and profit based on:

 

  • Supply chain optimization and visibility.
  • Operational transformation.
  • Trustworthy data for advanced data analytics and simulation.
  • Goal-driven leadership.


That foundation provides a single source of truth for data; end-to-end supply chain simulation; ESG and DfX initiatives; network redesign; and a commitment to operations improvement.
