Machinery Appraisals The Key To Production
Machinery is more than a production tool; its an asset, a critical part of a business financial management plan. DVS appraises a wide array of machinery in more than 80 industry segments from metalworking to circuit board manufacturing to paper mills to textile mills. This comprehensive expertise guarantees customers ultimate flexibility when scheduling complex projects and ensures staffing by professionals with in-depth industry experience. On-site inspections are thorough, asset descriptions are complete and reporting is solid, with every appraisal meeting or exceeding strict professional and regulatory standards.

Customers are able to rely on the asset listings furnished in detailed appraisals as the basis for securing the assets as collateral and as the starting point for book depreciation and other types of asset reporting. DVS works to ensure that asset descriptions are full and complete because this information is fundamental to preparing an accurate evaluation and is relied on by customers for numerous daily uses.


Inventory Appraisals The Vital Resource
Inventory is the life-blood of a company. The effective management of this resource often means the difference between profit and loss, growth and survival. DVS can help companies increase profitability by assisting them in improving efficiency, understanding the value of individual product lines and managing appropriate stock levels during periods of growth or contraction. Lower of cost or market studies performed by DVS contrast internal performance with the competitive marketplace, while build-out analyses improve inventory balance and the timeliness of shipments.

The ability to appraise inventory that is part of complex manufacturing operations, as well as finished goods marketed through wholesale and retail distribution, is an important and dynamic strength of DVS. Recognizing that every inventory is a unique extension of the business itself, DVS takes great care in the analysis to understand the factors that make it distinct.
