Describe value-chain process: core purpose, main requirements and activities.

A value chain is a chain of activities that a firm operating in a specific industry performs in order to deliver something valuable (product or service). A business unit is appropriate level for construction of a value chain, not divisional or corporate level. Products pass through activities of a chain in order, and at each activity the product gains some value. Chain of activities gives the product more added value than sum of the independent activities' values. Six business functions of the Value Chain:

Research and Development

Design of Products, Services, or Processes

Production

Marketing & Sales

Distribution

Customer Service

Operational processes

consist of the activities related to the doing of business.

(i.e., marketing and intelligence processes, design and development processes, procurement and logistics processes, production processes, and product/service delivery processes)

Management processes

the establishment of methods to accomplish an appropriate the project structure, project workflow organization, project control and governance

creation of transparency among the project parameters[30]

Fulfillment and implementation of these tasks can be achieved by applying specific methods and instruments of project controlling. The following methods of project controlling can be applied:

investment analysis

cost–benefit analyses

value benefit Analysis

expert surveys

simulation calculations

risk-profile analyses
