What is DVA?

Bearing & Transmission offers its customers a service that we call Documented Value Added® (DVA). DVA is a comprehensive process that details what you save as a result of the products and services you receive from Bearing & Transmission.

Whether we help you install energy efficient motors, implement a storeroom management system, or provide you with technical training, DVA documents the hard numbers that impact your bottom line. The reports generated from these actions demonstrate real cost savings for our customers. Simply put, the strategy behind DVA is to make customers’ operations more profitable.

The DVA program has become a cornerstone to our operations when dealing with customers. Our employees are trained to identify value-added opportunities in many different areas including:

• Reduced Maintenance Costs
• Reduced Transaction Costs
• Increased Productivity
• Troubleshooting
• Increased Up-Time
• Technical Assistance
• Energy Savings
• Training
• Inventory Reduction
• Freight Savings
• Price Savings

Bearing & Transmission personnel are fully trained utilizing our in-house program “Selling With DVA”. This training, which begins upon initial hire during our orientation program, is focused on helping our people identify DVA opportunities at customer sites, implement solutions, quantify the savings and report these to our customers. In order to record and track these value-added activities, Bearing & Transmission accesses a computer software program which is embedded in our operating system used daily by all employees.
