Overview: This paper presents a framework for value chain profiling developed by researchers at Sintef and NTNU, within SMARTLOG, a research program funded by the Norwegian research council. The framework is a first step in an attempt to develop a value chain description scheme, and the purpose of the framework is to offer manufacturing companies a construct for value chain analysis, benchmarking and identification of improvement areas. A focal manufacturing company's value chain is defined as including all actors directly involved in activities adding value to its products. The framework draws a value chain's characteristic profile. Other profiling frameworks being reviewed in this paper take narrower steps aiming at profiling only a limited range of aspects.
