The SALVO Process is a well-proven and flexible method for determining what is worth doing, why and when in asset management.
SALVO is a fully developed, highly adaptive framework for asset management decision-making. It includes the processes, governance, decision support tools and a multi-layered competency development programme. Proven in many industries around the world, and always yielding multi-million $$ benefits, SALVO brings together advanced analytics, business discipline, common sense pragmatism and the vital human factors (such as cross-disciplinary collaboration, culture, consensus-building and psychology).
