Customer value analysis

Product Quality Analysis—Perhaps products incorporate too much quality quality which is indiscernible to the customer. Value analysis of products against competition could yield valuable results. 

Product/Service Design involving innovation, customer needs, value analysis, product quality and reliabibty, process design, standardization, world standards, upgradation, replacement, etc. 

A method that is rather similar to the ABC analysis in terms of applicability and simplicity is the customer value matrix. The concept of the customer portfolio matrix, as described in an earlier section, also underlies this tool however, here quantitative dimensions have been chosen.

Most importantly, customer profitability analysis enables focal firms to link supply chain efforts to customer value and market opportunity in a way that improves customer relations and revenues in a profitable manner. 

The sieve analysis notation changed at some point in time, see batches 1, 23 and 24 in columns N-P, lines 19 and 21 The >45 y m value shifts from =92 to =7%. The customer had requested an additional specification <106 fim , which explains the row of dashes in line 19 up to column A an appropriate footnote should have been inserted. In connection with this, the specification in line 21 was changed from >45 to <45 correspondingly, all values had to be converted by hand, e.g., 93 = 100 - 7. (See table Step 1.)... 

One of the primary requirements for methods is that it be practicable [Section 512(b)(1)(G)]. A method that cannot be used in Federal laboratories has no value in the protection of the food supply. Method developers should avoid the use of rare or custom-made equipment, prohibitively expensive equipment, untested technologies, or reagents that are not commercially available. For a determinative procedure, an analysis should not exceed two working days, and methods should have a minimum sample throughput of at least six samples per analyst-day. 

As discussed in Chapter 1, analysis involves the determination of the composition of a material, i.e. the identification of its constituent parts and in many cases how much of each is present and, sometimes, in what form each is present. This chapter describes the process of selecting a suitable analytical method to carry out such determinations and how to check that the procedure selected is adequate for the job in hand. Before starting work on a sample, it is vital to enquire why the analysis is being done and what will happen to the result(s) and what decisions will be taken based on the constituent parts identified and the numerical values obtained. It is essential that the requirements of the customer, internal or external, are fully understood. Which property needs to be measured (the measurand) For example, is it the total amount of iron in a tablet that is required or the amount extracted into stomach acid simulant ... 

Without having conducted a full elasticity analysis across the entire portfolio, the analysis helps to prove market perceptions such as a higher elasticity exist in one market compared to another market or comparing elasticity between products being perceived to have a different elasticity. The statistical quality of the linear regression analysis in selected months is considered as good in terms of the number of customers involved and the R-squared value proving the applicability of the approach. 

The proposed answers vary from because everyone does to because we think that the analytical results contain relevant information for the customer who asked for the analysis . Another often mentioned reason is simply because the customer asked for it . As Massart pointed out, it is to be hoped that your own answer is not this last one, but is instead tecause we think the value of the information present in the analytical result is more worth than the cost of obtaining it . This means that analytical information has an economical value. This fact confronts us with three problems, namely how can we quantify the amoimt of information, or the quality of information present in the analytical data What are the cost of chemical analysis How to quantify the economical value of analytical information ... 

Between the analysis of an industry and the values and expectations of its customers, e.g. IBM and personal computers. 

When constructing input distributions for an uncertainty analysis, it is often useful to present the range of values in terms of a standard probability distribution. It is important that the selected distribution be matched to the range and moments of any available data. In some cases, it is appropriate to simply use the raw data or a custom distribution. Other more commonly used standard probability distributions include the normal distribution, the lognormal distribution, the uniform distribution, the log-uniform distribution and the triangular distribution. For the case-study presented below, we use lognormal distributions.
