Let’s consider an enterprise called EastAprons. EastAprons produces aprons and resells accessories.
EastAprons sells aprons and accessories to a network of customers (dealers throughout KSA and individual customers).
It procures raw materials for aprons from a variety of suppliers, acquires ready-made accessories from a set of manufacturers and it has a network of investors and creditors that support its finance.
1. Propose a value system level model for EastAprons.
2. Assuming that the various activities that need to be performed in the manufacturing process are considered labor operations, draw an overall value chain level diagram.
3. Zoom-in on the previous value chain model to specify the paired events within each process showing that duality relationships are the glue that binds a firm’s separate economic events together into rational economic processes.
