Is there a framework to analyze value chain of a manufacturing company?

Hi,

Think about it in the following way - every production process has

• Something going in
• Something being processed
• Something going out

You can use this logic to build basically any value chain.

 I would also use the following buckets in production value chain (the exact order may be different depending on the product and industry):

• Supply
• Transportation of supply
• Production
• Transportation of finished goods
• Warehousing

Best!

Hi Anonymous,

I agree with Vlad. As additional points, I would add marketing and sales and customer service to the buckets of the value chain.

Best,
