Discussion of New Product Development
Process Sustainability Based
on the Supply Chain in the Context
of Industry 4.0
Joanine Facioli Urnau and Osiris Canciglieri Junior
1 Introduction: New Product Development, Supply Chain
and Industry 4.0
Currently, the complexity of the operations of the industries and the speed of changes
required by consumers, force companies to have and seek even more agility and
assertiveness in what will be provided. In addition, the concern to minimize negative
environmental impacts on products and processes has become essential to intensify
competitiveness and be more efficient. In the context of industry 4.0, known as the
fourth stage of industrialization, production needs to adapt to the constant fluctuations
in demand between products, making it necessary to optimize production based on
the communication of IoT tools and improving the human machine interface—HMI
(Kafermann et al. 2011).
Inserted in this subject, regarding the relation of the development of new products and the Supply Chain Management (SCM), it is extremely important to launch
the products in shorter life cycles, increasing the product design to reduce waste in
the development until in terms of distribution, as well as changes in materials and
processes (Santos et al. 2017). Thus, the general objective of this article is to propose
a discussion involving the themes supply chain (SC), New Product Development
(NPD) and Industry 4.0 in order to analyse the interaction of supply chain management in product development and vice versa, aiming at a more aligned and sustainable
operation. Thus, this research seeks to bring understanding of how good management
