Conceived as a unique approach to doing business, Value Chain Transformation is the brainchild of Price Waterhouse Coopers. Essentially, Value Chain Transformation™, or VCT, addresses every facet of the business operation and provides some unique solutions that can streamline processes, allow for enhanced communication between functions, and even aid in the service and product delivery to the consumer.

Part of the genius of Value Chain Transformation™ is that the strategy is so comprehensive. Beginning with a close look at the process of supply chain management, VCT moves on to look at the way shared services between departments can aid in keeping the cost of doing business more efficient. The element of labor is also given a great deal of attention, making sure that the human resources employed in the operation and service delivery of the company are working at optimum levels. From transaction processing procedures to transfer pricing protocols, Value Chain Transformation™ seeks to make a good thing better, helping to ensure that the company is truly all it was meant to be.

There are a number of specific advantages associated with Value Chain Transformation™ that will apply to small and large companies alike. One advantage is the process to align tax and operational models in a manner that keeps operations tight and functional while still managing the tax level efficiently. VCT will also evaluate the manufacturing capacity, based on current resources, and make suggestions for optimizing the distribution of the finished goods. As part of the process, Value Chain Transformation™ will also address the transaction processing component of the business and suggest ways to streamline the process, or possibly add alternative methods of transaction processing that make it easier for consumers to obtain the products produced by the corporation.
