Strategic Value Assessment: how improvement opportunities optimize results
To quickly identify improvement opportunities within our clients' supply chains, our SDi team leverages industry best practices and applies our proprietary Strategic Value Assessment (SVA) Methodology. Once opportunities are identified, we work collaboratively with you to prioritize them based upon their strategic business implications, impact to your bottom line, and ease of implementation. Within our SVA Methodology, we also provide detailed recommendations that maximize cost savings and efficiencies throughout your supply chains.
Sample SVA analyses include:
- Route engineering
- Mode shift analysis
- Consolidation/deconsolidation
- Packaging optimization
- Cost benchmarking
- Supplier localization
- Total landed cost
- Warehouse/DC relocation
Typical benefits of a Strategic Value Assessment include:
- Optimization of transportation flows
- Reduction of inventories
- Reduction of the total cost of ownership
- Gain-share programs
- Reduced number of service providers resulting in reduced management efforts
- Customized transportation strategies to product types and sales channels
- Automation and standardization of processes
- Increased reliability of supply chain processes
