Value Identification

Every project needs to clearly show its costs and the benefits it will bring - and Supply Chain Planning is no different.

If you want the green light for investing in Supply Chain Planning (SCP) tools, you need to highlight real benefits, like improved forecast accuracy, smarter planning, and better efficiency.

That’s where the DIL Value Identification Process (“VIP”) comes in. VIP helps you quickly identify the 'size of the prize', where you’ll get the most value, set clear goals, and measure progress with user friendly KPIs.

With VIP, you can confidently demonstrate the return on your investment and easily update your approach as your supply chain or business needs change.
