Overview of Supply Chain Consulting

Supply Chain Overview by LVP Consulting

At LVP, we measure success by delivering tangible, lasting financial improvements to our clients' supply chains. These savings are quantified through direct reductions in COGS (direct materials), SG&A (indirect materials), and enhanced profit margins. Our proven results come from collaborating closely with clients across four key service areas: Global Strategic Sourcing, Best Cost Country Sourcing, M&A Due Diligence, and Manufacturing Efficiency.

Global Strategic Sourcing Excellence

As your trusted supply chain partner, LVP Consulting transforms Global Strategic Sourcing into a powerful competitive edge. We deliver procurement transformation and supply chain resilience solutions that enhance operational efficiency and drive sustainable profitability. By combining your institutional knowledge with our consultants' expertise, we apply our proven 11-Step Phase Gate Process to analyze hundreds of procurement categories and develop strategies that maximize value from your supplier relationships. To date, this methodology has generated over $20 billion in measurable procurement savings for our clients.

While over 90% of Fortune 1,000 companies pursue strategic supply chain initiatives, many choose LVP for our collaborative approach, comprehensive training programs, and hands-on implementation support that delivers customized solutions and significant financial results.

Optimized Global Sourcing

In today's interconnected world, geographic boundaries no longer constrain sourcing opportunities. Whether procuring electronic components from Asia or metal fabrications from Mexico, our Best Cost Country Sourcing solutions harness global markets to enhance quality, efficiency, and bottom-line performance. With decades of international sourcing experience, we provide balanced qualitative and quantitative approaches to global procurement.

Strategic M&A Analysis

Our pre-merger evaluation provides data-driven insights into potential supply chain synergies. We quantify the benefits of vertical integration and compare value across potential acquisitions. Our analysis includes comprehensive product consolidation and cross-divisional purchasing assessments. Post-diligence, we implement our proprietary 11 Gate Process to establish sustainable improvements and repeatable success.

Operational Excellence in Manufacturing

While most manufacturing clients already employ Lean methodologies, we enhance these practices through focused Manufacturing Efficiency initiatives that optimize production processes, including equipment upgrades and line redesigns. Our approach emphasizes:

Value stream optimization
Waste reduction (Muda)
Production flow improvement
Demand-driven manufacturing
Quality-focused execution

We perceive only what we're ready to understand
