🔗 Understanding Value Chain Concepts
This paragraph introduces the concept of a value chain as a collaborative network of entities that enhance the value of products or services to meet market demands. It discusses the integration of various supply chain activities throughout the lifecycle of a product or service, including customer needs determination, production, distribution, marketing, and after-sales service. The paragraph also differentiates between a value stream, which is the sequence of activities required to deliver a product or service, and value stream mapping, a process to analyze and improve the efficiency of the supply chain. Additionally, it explains Porter's value chain, which categorizes business activities into primary (directly related to product or service creation) and support (activities that facilitate primary activities).

value-chain focuses on systems and how
inputs are changed into the output using
this viewpoint Porter described a chain
of activities that are common to all
businesses and he divided them into two
types of activities primary activities
and support activities it is illustrated
in this figure primary activities they
are related to the physical creation
sale maintenance and support of a

development and infrastructure
procurement is what the organization
does to get the resources it needs to
