Introduction and benefit sharing agreement (session 1)
In the first session (Appendix 1), the basics of the FVCA methodology and the
principles of “Lean thinking” were introduced; and the team familiarised with the
relevant lean tools and techniques for value chain mapping and analysis (Hines and
Rich, 1997).
One key step in the first session was to put in-place the principles of a benefit sharing agreement and to get all team members to commit to walk the whole supply chain.
