This PPT slide, part of the 16-slide Value Chain Analysis PowerPoint presentation, outlines a systematic approach to quantifying profitability within the value chain by assigning costs, revenues, and assets to specific value activities. It emphasizes the importance of developing a cost driver model for each stage of the industry value chain. This involves utilizing detailed cost data from Corporate Finance to create a high-level process map that captures the production and delivery processes. Identifying relevant inputs and costs at each stage is crucial. For stages not directly engaged in, the slide suggests leveraging cost data from competitors who operate in those segments.

When direct cost data is challenging to obtain, the guidance includes combining related value activities or estimating costs based on plausible inputs. It also recommends analyzing costs incurred by competitors across the value chain to understand production variances. This comparative analysis can highlight areas where your company may differ.

The second part of the slide focuses on identifying revenues and the underlying assets utilized by competitors for each value activity. It advises multiplying the estimated market price by competitors' output to gauge revenue contributions from specific activities. Additionally, it suggests distributing asset values across value activities based on their output percentage. This comprehensive approach enables a clearer understanding of how costs and revenues are structured within the value chain, facilitating informed decision-making and strategic planning. The insights derived from this analysis can significantly enhance operational efficiency and financial performance.
