14. Figure 6.8 Two alternative models of the value chain: (a) traditional value chain model, (b) revised value chain model Source: Figure 6.4(b) adapted from Deise et al. (2000) A model that considers how supply chain activities can add value to products and services delivered to the customer. A tradition value chain model was proposed by Porter in 1980 A new value chain model was proposed by Deise et all in 2000

15. VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS A framework that decomposes an organization into its individual activities and determines value added at each stage. Activities can be divided into 3 categories  Create value as perceived by customers  Create no value but required by product development/production  Those that don’t add value at all. Value Chain Networks  Also called external value chain—The link between an organization and its strategic and non-strategic partners that form its external value chain.
