“…The main positive outcomes reported from the early integration of suppliers in NPD processes evolve around product innovation (Koufteros et al, 2007), shorter time-to-market (Ragatz et al, 2002), product quality, NPD cost , and process alignment as well as privileged relationship (Petersen et al, 2005). In sum, supplier integration enables the development of capabilities to integrate the knowledge gathered from innovative suppliers (Moya et al, 2019).…”

In new product development (NPD) firms increasingly have to rely on external expertise from suppliers. However, results of early supplier integration have been found to be ambiguous. This research empirically tests the hypothesis that the participation of professional purchasing agents early on in the supplier integration process plays a decisive role to distinguish successful projects. Our sample gave evidence that early supply management integration positively moderated supplier involvement’s effect on firm success. Hence, firms may benefit from avoiding supplier integration without professional purchasing management. Still, in many firms the procurement department is not yet integrated in NPD processes early on. Our research identifies four measures those firms applied, in which purchasing got fully embedded in the innovation process: top-management support, structural differentiation, explicit processes, and a collaborative corporate culture. This finding can serve as blue print for implementing purchasing integration and therewith improve the success of supplier integration in NPD.

“…It should be noted that a joint design approach for an innovative product and the associated supply chain depends on the innovative company's willingness to open up, i.e. its willingness to initiate partnerships (companies, laboratories) and to design new supply chains [30], [31]. Within the scope of this standard, strategic innovation management in the product/supply chain couple area is as follows (aspects dedicated to the product are marked with a "P" and "SC" for the supply chain.…”

Designing an innovative product that will be well adapted to the context of the company is a key success factor. In particular, the supply chain composed of suppliers (upstream) and all stakeholders up to the final customers (downstream) has to be adapted to the emerging product and all their technological new aspects. Within the scientific literature, product innovation and supply chain are generally considered in terms of a causal vision. This vision seems too limited to consider all the variables impacting the technical design of the product and the organization of the supply chain, especially when considering the first phases of the New Product Development Process. To describe the interrelations that take place between design decisions and external requirements all along the new product development process the product and its supply chain are defined as a couple. Based on the notions of dialogue and recursiveness, product design and supply chain design are considered as two complementary activities within the innovation process to increase the product's chances of success on the market. A managerial approach is proposed which integrates the jointdesign of the product/supply chain couple in companies.
