Chapter 8: Conclusions and Future Work
8.2 Future Work
Through this research the author has tried to explore the link of product development (PD) within a SCM context for an extended enterprise. The author has fulfilled the aim of this research which states “To develop a methodology for integrating the product development process with supply chain within an extended enterprise for improved performance”. To achieve this aim, four objectives have been set within this research and author has explored all the aspects which were defined in scope of this research in first chapter.
The industrial investigation has been done in automotive sector to investigate the effect of the integration of SCM with NPD. The future work for this research, can lead to the refinement of the proposed framework within the other business sectors which can be evaluated and the possible integration points will provide
baseline guidelines to identify the key decision making points within the entire supply chain.
In this research, the automotive scenario within information flow has been analysed that leads the way of analysing the material flow for future research either in the automotive sector or any other business sector which follows basic product development processes like FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) and pharmaceutical sector which shows the potential direction for this research.
The future dimension of this research can lead to develop an ideal development of methodology for NPD-SCM integration based on enterprise framework for everything in enterprise rather than just for new product development. Therefore, in future, other Enterprise Framework methodologies can be merged within this proposed framework.
