Indeed, each entity SWOT analysis should be done effectively to determine strengthens, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

SWOT is a great tool when it comes to looking inside and outside the company. However I have a great example of an organization that is using Porter's value chain to analyze its activities and how they compare to the competitors (Cevital in Algeria, a group of industrial companies with value chain linkages to optimize production and cost reduction). I find the value chain analysis to be a more operational tool which leads to surprising findings. In itself a SWOT doesn't go deeply into looking at key activities that if done properly will deliver a sustainable advantage. Porter's analysis matrix does that. All in all I guess a mix of both tools could assist any manager to achieve an organization's objectives.

SWOT analysis helps in taking an educated decision on any matter or issue facing the Organization. The more detailed and clear this analysis, the easier it is to evaluate a business position and to strategize on the way forward.
Specifically, for Marketing it throws up the challenges facing the Company and where it should focus on for better results. Similarly, on Supplies, the analysis will reveal exactly where the Company needs to focus for Cost Reduction and improve its Order-to-Delivery. Where Production is concerned, SWOT analysis gives a clear picture on the bottlenecks and helps further in designing a cause-effect chart that will pave the way to implement actions for addressing shop floor issues.
