TQO Integrating Suppliers into the Product Value/Supply Chain: New Product Development

研究的目标是通过识别成功和不成功的策略和实践以及解释它们的因素，开发一个解释供应商成功整合到新产品开发过程的解释模型。研究的结果将包括供其他公司遵循的执行准则，以及案例研究和将供应商纳入新产品开发的模型，供工业界和学术界使用。本研究将以文献、回顾、实地研究和调查为基础。实地研究将在十个或更多的公司（联合信号公司、at&t全球采购公司、百得公司、克莱斯勒公司、迪尔公司、惠普公司、柯达公司、Unisys公司、惠而浦公司以及亚利桑那州立大学高级采购中心的参与者）中进行，这些公司目前正在将供应商整合到新产品开发过程中。调查研究将收集来自全球采购和供应链电子基准网络（2000多个）成员的数据。该计划还包括跨学科行业和学术审查小组的定期会议，就研究设计、解释和传播结果提供咨询意见。

MONCZKA The objectives of the research are to develop an explanatory model of the successful integration of suppliers into the new product development process through identification of both successful and unsuccessful strategies and practices, and factors that explain them. The results of the research will include implementation guidelines for other firms to follow, and case studies and models of supplier integration into new product development for use by industry and academia. The research will be based on a literature, review, field research, and surveys. Field research will be conducted in ten or more firms (Allied Signal, AT&T global procurement, Black & Decker, Chrysler Corp., Deere & Co., Hewlett-Packard, Kodak, Unisys, Whirlpool, and participants in the Arizona State University Center for Advanced Purchasing) currently integrating suppliers into the new product development process. The survey research will collect data from (2000 plus) members of the Global Procurement & Supply Chain Electronic Benchmarking Network. The plan also includes periodic meetings of interdisciplinary industry and academic review teams to advise on research design, interpretation and dissemination of results.
