Hello readers, today I will be looking at how to create value in business. The value chain will be used to explain how to create value in business. The primary activities goes from the inbound logistics to operations to outbound logistics to marketing and sales to services.

Inbound logistics

This has to do with bringing in goods into the organisation. In a manufacturing organisation you will be bringing in raw materials. Whether you are manufacturing or not they must be of good quality. The goods must be delivered and stored in a way that does not cause any defect to it. This will contribute to the value you are planning to create.

Operations

Basically, this has to do with the daily activities of an organisation. Thus, it is the process whereby raw materials, labor and capital are converted into end products. You must ensure that all the products are free of defects. That is the goal and that will help you create value.

Outbound logistics

Another way this value can be created is through fast and efficient forms of delivery. If products are going to be delivered to houses, you should use the fastest possible medium and it should be delivered with no defects. If you are taking goods to stores it must be delivered on time. You should read this article on inventories. Stores should be located close to your customers. All of that will contribute to the value creation.

Marketing and Sales
The way you market your product must reflect how you want your business to be perceived by customers. You also build the reputation of your company through that medium. Thus, value can also be created.

Services
This is a medium that can be used to maintain value after goods must have been sold to your customers. A one year warranty can really add value, technical support can also add value and others.

All of these activities discussed above will lead to the creation of value, thus, all of them must be treated with caution.

The saverholic

I always say first save your money in an halal account, once it has reached a particular threshold start investing. The saverholic only saves and saves and saves and cannot afford to take well calculated risks. Because, all you do is to save money. Invest in other markets, the higher the risk the higher the return, diversify your investment portfolio. All individuals that have achieved financial growth of great heights are risk takers, and they know that some risk might turn out negative but they know is all part of the process. They learn from it and apply it to the next risk they take and eventually they become experts at the risk they take (risk taken should not be excessive(too much uncertainty)). Then they end up having 80% success rates which I think is good enough. Make sure your business is halal. Give charity regularly from your income, Allah loves charity an...

The need for constant power supply in developing nations

Hello readers, I will be writing about electricity today. I will be using Nigeria as a case study. Electricity is one of the factors that contributes to the success of an organisation. Developed countries have been able to maintain a constant power supply. If they are able to have constant power then it is achievable. Constant electricity could attract good companies, thereby creating employment opportunities. This could alievate poverty in the developing countries. Thus, the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the economy will improve. The challenge here with having constant power supply is also not to pollute the environment as fossil fuel is mostly used for the supply of electricity. Greener alternatives could be used such as tidal energy and wind energy. In my opinion, electricity could be constant in Nigeria if the industry is privatised. The privitisation of the telephone industry made mobile phone easily accessible by individuals. Most people own a phone, both ...
