    Our engagements deliver between 4:1-8:1 ROI

Delivering measurable results across the supply chain

According the to the Global Supply Chain Institute, the supply chain (plan, buy, make, move, fulfill) accounts for approximately 80% of the cost and working capital of a company. That’s why supply chain and operations optimization is so important.

Here we outline the typical savings and benefits achieved for clients by applying Total Value Optimization (TVO)™. We also detail the unique 100% engagement fee guarantee which underpins our engagements.

  • 15-30% cost reduction or margin improvement in operations
  • 8-18% cost reduction in procurement
  • 9-22% cost reduction in logistics
  • 15-25% reduction in working capital requirements

Release CashA manufacturer’s inventory is complicated and ties up working capital across three areas:

1. Raw materials
2. Work in process (WIP)
3 Finished goods

We help clients unlock working capital across the supply chain and operations:

  • With our help, an omnichannel mail order and electronic retail company transformed its  supply chain and decreased working capital by 25% in the face of new disruptive business models 
  • Moving to a center-led sourcing strategy across multiple global acquisitions and reducing excess inventory released €51M in cash and resulted in a 12% EBITDA improvement for a leading heavy equipment manufacturer
  • We helped a leading global manufacturer of advanced magnetic materials and related products transform their manufacturing and maintenance to increase production output by 71% resulting in a sustainable €30M reduction in working capital

Enable growth                                 Improve service

An outdated view of the supply chain is that it is just seen a support function. Today it is enabler of new business models, enhanced customer experiences and differentiation for competitive advantage.

After applying TVO across three corporations, both public and private equity owned, we generated 290M in EBITDA, €310M in cash and growth through improved customer responsiveness. Every company and CEO should consider implementing TVO.”  Jim Voss, CEO, Vectra

Maine Pointe helped us deliver on our highest level of revenue ever, we had a measurable improvement in EBITDA that was significant and beneficial to the company and we are going to continue to reap a return on our investment in the next year and a half.” Kirk Goins, CEO Luminator Technology Group

We achieved savings at the high end of the targeted range while also dramatically enhancing the customer experience.” Dawn Phillipson, CFO, Arhaus

VisibilityMost supply chain organizations are operating with systems built for another era. They lack the transparency and visibility needed to optimize cost and service and better predict and mitigate disruptions and imbalance.

 

Implementing robust data analytics and digital dashboards helps executives:

  • Improve demand forecasting and optimize fulfillment through to production and supply
  • Gain insight into siloed, dark, and unstructured and high value data
  • Make timely and effective business decisions
  • Improve the efficiency, effectiveness and competitiveness of the organization
  • Predict and proactively manage disruptions

Maine Pointe's data analytics team transformed our raw data into powerful insights that enabled us to significantly improve efficiency in our business.”  COO - Global Packaging Company


Manage RiskSupply Chain Risk management is critical to preventing business being exposed to critical threats: production disruptions, fluctuations in quality, production, damage to reputation and consequent loss of competitive advantage.

Poor visibility across supply chain and supplier base: £1bn wiped off UK retailer Boohoo’s share price due to poor visibility and risk management of their suppliers', suppliers. Most companies don’t have visibility into tier-two supply base

 

Our supplier base now understands that we bring a much larger spend to the market than was previously visible, and our organization understands the risks and opportunities within our supply chain." CEO heavy equipment manufacturer 

This initiative has increased our understanding of the competitive dynamics within our supply chain, as well as major risks and opportunities, and we are going to leverage this knowledge to create a competitive advantage.” COO CPG
