Reltex/ Cardiff University Value Chain Analysis Project

To use a value chain analysis techniques to compare

Conventional methods of supplying NFI aid items from sources external to Africa

With

The local production model of manufacture in Africa combined with pre-positioned

stockholding

Value Chain Analysis

VCA - the method of applying ‘Lean Principles’ to supply chain improvement

‘Lean’ originated at Toyota

Now applied in many sectors beyond automotive

First application in humanitarian aid
