Value adding process

Vendors. Database vendors provide value added processing of databases and offer search services, online and/or batch, or distribute CD-ROM products to database users. Vendors also provide the technology for accessing databases. 

Fitting analysis. For this to be possible, an assembly sequence plan must be constructed and the difficulty of assembling each part in the sequence rated using the design for assembly analysis tables. Difficult assembly tasks and non-value added processes are revealed as candidates for correction by redesign. Simple concepts such as the ability to assemble in a layer fashion can result in major cost savings. 

These novel organic polymers were not developed solely for the CW or BW treatment market but are for much wider application. These same value-adding process additives are regularly incorporated into products for industrial and domestic cleaning, concrete, pulp and paper, metal finishing, paints and surface coatings, wastewater, seawater distillation, drilling muds, secondary oil-recovery, plastics extrusion, fibers, rubbers, and a host of other areas. 

The optimization of value-added processes is a subject that scientists all over the world have been dealing with for more than 70 years. The first basic algorithms for so-called Linear Programming (LP) were developed at American and European universities already in the 1930s, for the first time allowing the planning and simulation of simple business processes. LP soon became the base of the first software systems and even today almost all Supply Chain Management (SCM) or... 

A range of emulsions, foams and suspensions can be found in the manufacturing/ value-added process industries. Some examples are given in Table 12.1. Examples for related areas can be found in Tables 9.1 (environment), 10.1 (minerals), and 11.1 (petroleum).

Guo said China s first priorities are to ensure that enough food is available, and that the country is open to new approaches to ensure its food security. In the process, China would like to increase industrialization and value-added processing in its rural regions154. 

Higher market prices for major commodities such as paprika, vanilla, ginger, bay leaves and spice mixtures resulted in an upward value trend by 4.6% from 2003 to 2004, with a stabilized import volume. There was a growing trend towards the trade of processed spices, which fetched higher prices. The increasing demand for value-added processing of spices, such as capsicum and ginger, offers business opportunities for the food and extraction industries in international markets (International Trade Centre, 2006).

Except in the most structured cases, the situation a decision maker faces can be very dynamic, with information needs arising unexpectedly and changing more rapidly than ISs can be economically revised to produce new kinds of reports. Even when the newly needed information exists in a set of predefined reports, it may be a needle in the haystack, distributed across several reports, or presented in a way not particularly helpful to the decision maker. It may be incomplete or unfocused or require some value-added processing. In contrast, the ideal of a decision support system (DSS) is to provide focused, complete, fully processed knowledge in the desired presentation format. 

From the experiences already gained from R D cooperation projects the following conclusion can be drawn if the knowledge-management modules are integrated into the development process and supported by a suitable IT infrastructure, the exchange of knowledge between team members becomes a customer-supplier relationship, as is the case in the value-added process itself. This enables effective and efficient coordination of the project. 

Value Stream Identification The target of this principle is the identification of all value-adding processes and their relations and sequential arrangements throughout the whole value chain to describe all activities that are necessary to produce the considered goods. The Value Stream Management is the corresponding discipline and offers methods to analyze the value chain. A common method is the Value Stream... 

S OP is embedded in the organizational culture and processes and is seen as a value added process towards high customer service and lower supply chain costs by all functional areas. 

Value-adding processes are inconsistently defined from place to place. For example, is "setup" value added or overhead It is difficult to agree on what is included in an operation, much less on what it costs.
