Summary:

Value chain analysis is an important framework for analyzing a company's internal operations and identifying opportunities for competitive advantage. Students are presented with data pertaining to Ryellys, a medium-sized retail chain seeking to optimize its logistics function. Ryellys is weighing three options for running their fleet of trucks: running the fleet of trucks in house, leasing the fleet, and contracting out to a third party. Using the value chain analysis framework, students are required to evaluate which option would be most cost-effective for Ryellys. Students will also explore aspects related to the analysis of cash flow and risk among various value chain activities. After completing the case, students will have a better understanding of how different activities along a firm's value chain interact to create desired value for customers.
