This document discusses ways to add value through innovation, combination, and elimination of processes. It provides examples of how value can be added through product improvements, better customer service, expanding facilities, making process improvements, and strengthening promotional activities. Evaluating current offerings and identifying new opportunities through SWOT analysis is recommended. Specific areas where value addition may be needed include products, customer service, facilities, sourcing, processes, promotion, and planning systems. Problems in areas like demand forecasting, information gathering, vendor development, inventory, lead times, distribution, and scrap management could also be addressed.

1. VALUE ADDITION
Jay Bhoite

2. VALUE ADDITION
• to economically add value to a product and form
characteristics more preferred in the market place
• Added value allows firms to market their products more
successfully, emphasising strength of brand as
opposed to a commodity.
• They can charge higher prices, achieve a USP (Unique
Selling Proposition) and obtain competitive advantage.
• Higher added value products are less price-elastic and
harder to copy
• By improving existing processes, procedures, products
or services.

3. MY VIEW OF ADDING VALUE
Value addition could be done in following ways
a. Innovation: Focuses on improving existing processes,
procedures, products or services
b. Combination: Can two or more processes be
combined into one
c. Elimination: Does the process have any unwanted
stage that is unnecessary OR Are there nonstandard
processes that can be eliminated

months? In 36 months?

on potential high-growth opportunities?

growth or low profits over the next 12 months? Over 36 months?
