One method. Five functions. Measurable EBITDA.
In a volatile, interconnected world, siloed supply chains are no longer sustainable. Total Value Optimization™ (TVO) is our proprietary Plan-Buy-Make-Move-Fulfill methodology — it breaks down functional barriers and delivers the greatest value to customers and stakeholders at the lowest cost and risk to the business.
Five functions, one climb.
Most consulting firms sell you a service. TVO sells you a system. We assess where you are today, build a pragmatic ROI-driven improvement plan, and implement measurable, sustainable change — sequencing interventions so cost, cash and service move together, not against each other.
Take the 4-minute assessment
Demand sensing, S&OP and integrated business planning that align commercial and supply chain decisions.
Category strategy, sourcing, supplier development and contract intelligence — the fastest lever on EBITDA.
Throughput, OEE, labor productivity and quality-at-source that turn the plant floor into a profit engine.
Distribution strategy, network design and mode optimization to reduce costs and improve service levels.
Order-to-cash, inventory positioning and customer service that convert operations into revenue.
Why TVO breaks through where others stall.
Total Value Optimization™ is a repeatable, staged approach to supply chain transformation — not a one-off engagement.
Insights and visibility across Plan-Buy-Make-Move-Fulfill unlock value hidden inside functional silos.
Our LOI approach aligns leaders, teams and behaviors so change sticks after we leave.
Measurable results delivered roughly three times faster than traditional consulting models.
A unique guarantee that puts our fees at risk and mitigates yours.
“TVO is the best approach we have seen to achieve integrated supply chain excellence in operations, logistics and procurement.”
Analyze. Implement. Sustain.
A disciplined engagement rhythm that turns diagnosis into delivered value — and delivered value into lasting capability.
Rapid insights and a proof-of-claim study demonstrate the prize, a jointly built implementation roadmap outlines activities, timelines and resources, and a financial business case defines investment needs and expected returns.
We work shoulder-to-shoulder with your team to drive accelerated, measurable improvements in profitability, cash, resilience and growth — backed by our guarantee — aligning leadership and operations with the strategic goals.
After the engagement, we keep driving value through periodic performance reviews, training and ongoing visibility via your Supply Chain Control Tower — plus testing, inspection and certification to reinforce resilience and compliance.

TVO was codified by Maine Pointe founder Steve Bowen and formalized in his 2017 book Total Value Optimization. It has since been refined across 550+ engagements in more than 30 countries, and continues to evolve as AI reshapes how supply chains sense, decide and act.
