Supply Chain Rapid Value Attainment (RVA)™

Improve Your Supply Chain’s Bottom-line Results within 12 Weeks.

Use the RVA™ to create immediate value and start building a world-class supply chain with the assets you already have.

You need more from your supply chain, and fast. You need tangible, systemic, and sustainable improvements you can trace all the way to the bottom-line of the business.

But where to start?

Most organizations begin by either cutting costs or spending more on additional systems.

Yet both typically fail because they ignore what leading supply chains have in common: the alignment of people, process and technology.

The better these three components are aligned, the better able supply chain can produce bottom-line results.

The Supply Chain Rapid Value Attainment (RVA)™ is a 3-to-6 week, process-driven assessment performed by AXIA Supply Chain Professionals to:

  • Review and rank your supply chain against leading practices
  • Identify which improvements will create immediate and long-term value
  • Design a custom roadmap to realize bottom-line results within 12 weeks

Why Supply Chain RVA™?

How Supply Chain RVA™ works

Our professionals use the RVA™ to find untapped opportunities your supply chain can leverage into immediate, sustainable bottom-line results.

This is done by ranking the people, process and technology components of your organization against leading practices to identify where improved alignment will produce the highest returns.

The 3-to-6-week process includes three core steps:

In this first step, each of your processes are observed and rated against leading practices.

Specifically, our professionals map the maturity of your supply chain process; call out critical gaps in your organization’s roles, capabilities and culture; and identify and rate the maturity of your key data and applications.

They then create a readout of the opportunities in each area.

Step 1 Output: Guide to the gaps in processes, people and technology impeding bottom-line performance.

Here the previous step’s findings are reviewed with your organization’s key stakeholders to identify opportunities and align priorities with the business strategy.

During these workshops, our team introduces alternative leading practices for supply chain integration so that your stakeholders can identify new opportunities.

New opportunities are then mapped against the maturity model to identify projects that must be implemented first.

Step 2 Output: List and description of projects identified and prioritized in cooperation with your organization’s key stakeholders

In the final step, our professionals create a roadmap––tailored to your organization’s ability to change––to attain greater bottom-line performance.

Changes are prioritized by need and grouped into time-boxed sprints designed to be completed within 12 weeks or less.

Each completed sprint moves your supply chain up the maturity curve, leaving your organization at a higher level of performance.

Step 3 Output: A tailored roadmap that provides a clear path from your organization’s current state to improved bottom-line results.
