Value Chain
Presented by Michael Porter in his book Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance
Primary
Activities
Inbound logistics –Processes related to receiving, storing, and
distributing inputs internally. Your supplier relationships are a key
factor in creating value here.
Operations –Transformation activities that change inputs into
outputs that are sold to customers. Here, operational systems
create value.
Outbound logistics –Deliver your product or service to your
customer. E.g. collection, storage, and distribution systems
Marketing and sales –Processes used to persuade clients to
purchase from you instead of your competitors. The benefits you
offer, and how well you communicate them, are sources of value
here.
Service –Activities related to maintaining the value of your
product or service to your customers, once it's been purchased.
Support
Activities
Procurement (purchasing) – To get the resources it
needs to operate. Such as finding vendors and
negotiating best prices.
Human resource management – How company
recruits, hires, trains, motivates, rewards, and
retains its workers.
Technological development – Related to managing
and processing information, and protecting a
company's knowledge base. Maintaining technical
excellence are sources of value creation.
Infrastructure – Company's support systems, and the
functions that allow it to maintain daily operations.
For instance- Accounting, legal, administrative, and
general management
Using
Porter's
Value Chain
Step 1 – Identify sub-activities for
each primary activity
Step 2 – Identify sub-activities for
each support activity.
Step 3 – Identify links between
different activities
Step 4 – Look for opportunities to
increase value
Using Porter's Value Chain
STEP 1 – IDENTIFY SUB-
ACTIVITIES FOR EACH
PRIMARY ACTIVITY
DIRECT

Editor's Notes

  • #3 https://www.smstudy.com/article/what-is-value-chain-analysis
  • #4 Primary activities relate directly to the physical creation, sale, maintenance and support of a product or service.  Inbound logistics – These are all the processes related to receiving, storing, and distributing inputs internally. Your supplier relationships are a key factor in creating value here. Operations – These are the transformation activities that change inputs into outputs that are sold to customers. Here, your operational systems create value. Outbound logistics – These activities deliver your product or service to your customer. These are things like collection, storage, and distribution systems, and they may be internal or external to your organization. Marketing and sales – These are the processes you use to persuade clients to purchase from you instead of your competitors. The benefits you offer, and how well you communicate them, are sources of value here. Service – These are the activities related to maintaining the value of your product or service to your customers, once it's been purchased.
  • #5 Support Activities These activities support the primary functions above. In our diagram, the dotted lines show that each support, or secondary, activity can play a role in each primary activity. For example, procurement supports operations with certain activities, but it also supports marketing and sales with other activities. Procurement (purchasing) – This is what the organization does to get the resources it needs to operate. This includes finding vendors and negotiating best prices. Human resource management – This is how well a company recruits, hires, trains, motivates, rewards, and retains its workers. People are a significant source of value, so businesses can create a clear advantage with good HR practices. Technological development – These activities relate to managing and processing information, as well as protecting a company's knowledge base. Minimizing information technology costs, staying current with technological advances, and maintaining technical excellence are sources of value creation. Infrastructure – These are a company's support systems, and the functions that allow it to maintain daily operations. Accounting, legal, administrative, and general management are examples of necessary infrastructure that businesses can use to their advantage.

  • #9 The fashion supply chain is characterized by short product life cycles, volatile and unpredictable customer demands, tremendous product variety, labor-intensive production, and long supply processes. These distinct features increase the complexity of decision making in the fashion supply chain. Picture description- https://www.publichabit.com/blogs/publicknowledge/crash-course-on-fashion-supply-chain
  • #10 A traditional supply chain turnaround used to be a year, it reduced to 6 months and then 3 months. (Picture explanation- https://medium.com/@Ignition_Partners/giving-apparel-its-2-0-moment-the-studios-digital-transformation-of-fashion-supply-chain-6c8f9dbcd2da ) A fashion guru or best-in-class designer (e.g. Anne Wintour, Alessandro Michele) creates the collection. The artistic insights are key, and Operations accross the value chain try to optimize each process according to last season sales/forecast. The customer will receive what the Brand is producing. Customers are the last participants on the value chain.
