Theoretical Aspects of the Concept of Value Chain Management

The purpose of the study is to clarify and complement the theoretical aspects of the formation of the concept of value chain management, which provides, along with the concepts of demand chain management and supply chain management, the creation of an integral concept of chain management.Methods of research are methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, as well as classification, and tools are binary matrices providing for the joint use of two classification features.As a result of the study, flow management sequences were developed in creating the value of the end user of products and/or services and the stages of transformation of flows of various types; proposed a classification of management situations related to the creation of value; identified the main options for obtaining and assessing the value of the end user of products and/or services; disclosed are processes for optimizing the value of the end user; harmonizing the parameters of value and flows of products and/or services; disseminating and transforming the values of end-users of products and/or services.These results, when further refined, will reveal the areas of interaction between suppliers and consumers in the framework of joint management of values, requirements and supplies; Create prerequisites for improving supply chain management and logistics terminology; Organize better flow management within different chain management concepts, eliminating or reducing cross-functional and other barriers to the creation and delivery of value to end-users of products and/or services.Further areas of improvement include the establishment of harmonized definitions of value chain management, value chain management and supply chain management to provide a basic definition of chain management; clarification of essence, content, causes of occurrence and methods of reduction of barriers on trajectory of movement of flows of control objects and reduction of time for their processing, movement and transformation.
