Fig. 1 Conceptual model (Dirk and Stavrulaki 2004)
The study has limitations because it is a cross-sectional study and conducted only
at the project level. However, it contributes to the understanding that design at the
project level is a key alignment dimension for product design decisions, as well as
the intensity of the interface and the supply strategy, and between the intensity of
interface and clock speed, improves NPI performance. The framework developed
by Pero et al. (2010) presents a structure that explains how the variables of new
product development and the supply chain are related to each other and how they
affect performance, seeking both strategic and operational issues in the supply chain
(Fig. 2).
The work presents the limitation of not being able to measure the impacts of
variety in the supply chain network, in addition to applying only one case study,
which leaves the results very restricted. As a contribution is the discovery of the
