processes. It also seeks greater interaction between the Home Machine interface
(HMI) and changes in business models, which consequently contributes to changing
the forms of interaction in the value chain. To make this all possible, data management
(Big Data) is of great importance, as it must deal with important and confidential
data, which uses approaches to capture, manage and analyze information.
Permeated in this context, the development of new products and supply chain has
aid based on technology and data management to ensure effective interaction. Swink
(1999), comments that a supply chain integrated with the management structure, in
which each entity can have visibility of other parts of the supply chain, allows the
potential for a better production decision (support to product innovation or focus on
quality) and, therefore, cost reduction and response time reduction.
Another important gain that this integration allows is in relation to sustainability.
Dealing with well-designed flows, with well-structured products and aligned with
the chain since its briefing, it is possible to avoid errors and unnecessary expenses, be
it financial or misused inputs. Employed effectively, product design as a tool, it can
optimize the performance of supply chains and value, reducing logistical interactions,
which consequently generates positive implications for the environment, for example,
carbon footprint and energy reduction, ensuring at the same time social efficiency—
greater social recognition by customers/end users for the social and environmentally
responsible performance of a company (Gerlitz 2015).
4 Models, Frameworks and Researches on Supply Chain
and New Product Development in Industry 4.0 Context
From the search for articles through the CAPES Journal Portal, using as keywords
the development of new products and supply chains, as well as their variables, it
was possible to analyze existing models in the literature related to these. Through
the research it was possible to use a set of studies and their proposals for models
and frameworks, enabling the verification, identifying, the contributions and the
relevant gaps, of each one for this present study, in which we will discuss below.
The interaction of supply chain and product development is generally related to the
management and monitoring of many variables. Several authors have raised several
important points in this context.
In the article “A product centric examination of PDSC alignment decisions at
the nexus of product development and supply chains” (Dirk and Stavrulaki 2004), it
presents a conceptual model that synthesizes the theory of previous works, researched
by the author, to identify the main dimensions the alignment between product design,
SC strategy and market conditions, to lead to the introduction of effective new products (NPIs) (Fig. 1). The model indicates that the intensity of the interface—a measure
of the relational strength between product components—is of specific importance
and should be clearly incorporated as a parameter in product design decisions at the
project level.
