The research • Ericsson • Alstom Transport • Thales Training & Simulation • Cable & Wireless • WS Atkins • Building Design Partnership
Added value • 'Competitive advantage grows fundamentally out of value a firm is able to create for its buyers that exceeds the firm's cost of creating it', (Michael Porter, 1984) • Cost – perform activities more efficiently • Unique benefit – create greater buyer value • Value chain – the firm • Value stream - the industry
products customer services Traditional value chain • Traditional product-forward thinking • 'throw product over the wall' and add services • Increasing customer demand for services through the product life cycle
2 YEARS 2 YEARS OPERATIONAL LIFE 28 YEARS Design, manufacture & build rolling stock Cost of building a typical fleet of 70 diesel trains £65m • ‘Total Train Life Management’ services: • maintenance, • renovation, • parts & replacement, • asset management, • new products • Service life generates income worth £200m Services: Alstom
products customer solution services Customer-focused value chain • Begin with desired customer outcome • Design integrated solution to customer needs • Work backwards to the products and services
Strategic engagement Value proposition Operations Integration Adding value: start with the customer CUSTOMERNEED
Integrated solution: Alstom • Strategic engagement • London Underground Northern Line (1995) • Customer request for ‘train availability’ • 96 trains available for service each day for a 20 year period • Value proposition • Alstom’s proposal: build & maintain 106 trains • Integration • Alstom design and build • Operate • Alstom maintain: London Underground operate
