Asset Utilization

---

Maximize output. Minimize waste. Unlock hidden value.

At Marenovum Partners, we help portfolio companies improve the productivity and efficiency of their existing assets—from equipment and facilities to working capital and technology infrastructure. Optimizing asset utilization is one of the most direct ways to boost profitability, increase return on invested capital (ROIC), and create long-term value.

Our consultants work alongside operating teams to evaluate how assets are deployed, maintained, and aligned with strategic goals. Through a combination of data analysis, process mapping, and industry benchmarking, we identify where underutilization, bottlenecks, or capital misalignment are limiting performance—and provide practical solutions to correct them.

Capacity and throughput analysis
Evaluate how existing facilities, equipment, and labor are performing relative to demand and capacity potential.

Asset ROI modeling
Quantify the return on capital assets and highlight areas where divestment, redeployment, or reinvestment can improve outcomes.

Maintenance and downtime diagnostics
Analyze preventative maintenance programs, unplanned downtime, and equipment lifecycle costs to reduce operational disruption.

Working capital efficiency
Review inventory turnover, receivables, and payables management to free up cash and improve liquidity.

Technology and digital assets
Assess usage and ROI of software, platforms, and digital tools to ensure they’re enabling—not hindering—operational performance.

Underutilized assets tie up capital, create inefficiencies, and mask broader performance issues. By improving asset productivity, portfolio companies can increase EBITDA without major capital investment—an essential lever for sponsors seeking faster returns and more resilient operations.

At Marenovum Partners, we bring a private equity lens to asset optimization, ensuring each recommendation aligns with investment timelines, integration plans, and exit strategy.
