Value Chain Analysis and Development
(Possible Programme – Not yet accepted)
- Development of the value chain maps for non-automotive manufacturing:
- Identify raw materials, processing steps, intermediate products, final products;
- Map the matrix from raw materials to final product, incorporating processing yields, anticipated cost elements, and potential market values;
- Identify commercially-viable opportunities, gaps in existing vertically-integrated supply chains, and obstacles to exploitation;
- Link existing and / or potential new enterprises to develop the opportunities from the value chains;
- Identify research and development needs, and facilitate focused contract research and development;
- Optimisation of the supply chain of non-automotive manufacturing:
- Utilization of the “whole source” through utilization of waste / by-products;
- Coordination of supplies
- Development of quality norms and standards to optimise utilization of materials between applications / value chains;
- Utilise cluster development principles to establish and develop synergistic partnerships between enterprises, especially between established and new enterprises;
- Facilitating the development of higher value products and feedstock materials, in response to market needs and opportunities in the value chains.
