This PPT slide, part of the 178-slide Complete Strategic Management Consulting Guide and Toolkit PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured approach to applying the value chain in cost analysis, specifically within the context of an automotive manufacturer. It is divided into 2 main stages: determining the basic process and allocating total costs.

In the first stage, "Determine Basic Process," various key activities are outlined. These activities include purchasing, parts stock management, research and development, component manufacturing, assembly, testing and quality control, inventory management, sales and marketing, and distribution. Each of these elements plays a critical role in the overall production and delivery of automotive products. The emphasis here is on identifying and understanding the fundamental processes that contribute to the manufacturing cycle.

The second stage, "Allocate Total Costs," suggests a focus on assigning costs to each of the identified activities. This allocation is crucial for understanding where expenses are incurred and how they can be managed effectively. The slide hints at a link to dealer and customer support, indicating that post-manufacturing processes are also considered in the overall cost structure.

For potential customers, this slide serves as a clear illustration of how a systematic approach to value chain analysis can enhance operational efficiency and cost management. It highlights the importance of dissecting the manufacturing process into manageable components, allowing for targeted improvements and strategic decision-making. Understanding these stages can lead to more informed investments in operational capabilities and ultimately drive better financial performance.
