MNP3701 ASSIGNMENT 22024
SEMESTER 1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1.1 Using an example from the Pepkor case study, illustrate the difference between
Pepkor’s supply chain and its value chain.
Value Chain
The value chain encompasses the activities that a company performs to deliver a valuable
product or service to the market. It includes primary activities such as inbound logistics,
operations, outbound logistics, marketing and sales, and service, as well as support activities
like procurement, technology development, human resource management, and firm
infrastructure.
Supply Chain
On the other hand, the supply chain involves the network of entities, activities, information, and
resources involved in moving a product or service from the supplier to the customer. It includes
processes such as procurement, manufacturing, distribution, and logistics.
Example from the Pepkor Case Study
An example of the difference between Pepkor’s supply chain and its value chain can be
illustrated by considering the procurement process. In the supply chain, this would involve
sourcing raw materials and components from suppliers, managing inventory, and coordinating
the flow of goods to production facilities. In contrast, the value chain perspective would focus on
how Pepkor adds value to these raw materials through its production processes, marketing
efforts, and customer service activities to deliver the final product to the end consumer.
1.2 Critically assess how Pepkor's value and supply chains promote its corporate and
supply chain strategies. Quote specific examples from the case study to support your
answer.
