2- Where is value added within the supply chain, is this value shared evenly through the supply chain partners?
Guidance
To answer this question identify, the consumer value within the supply chain and what the supply chain goals and objectives are. Are they aiming to be low cost or fast for example?
You will then need to identify the value added within each stage of the supply chain - what does each stage do to support that consumer value? Essentially you need to identify how each stage plays the role it is required for within the chain.
The second half of the question asks about the equality of sharing within the supply chain - this relates to supply chain surplus and what value is created. Does one area of the supply chain not contribute well to the values of the chain? Are they slower or more expensive or have poor quality for example? (this ISN'T about the actualy exchange of money here - consider if there are good or weaker sections of the chain in terms of contribution)
It may also help to look at the prime move or dominat part of the supply chain - and ask the question are risks shared fairly in the supply chain or do the weaker and more vulnerable members of the supply chain benefit less - this could be useful to consider if farmers are less powerful than the retail for example.
You will need to look at the whole of your supply chain - therefore clearly idenify your market to market parameters be aware of the 'line of visability' or natural break point in supply and do consider right the way down tothe end consumer.
