Evaluation of materials supply systems during product development projects

• This paper discusses the process of designing materials supply systems during product development projects with focus on the evaluation part. A case study was conducted in close cooperation with a company within the automotive industry. Two performance measures for the materials supply systems evaluation were selected, namely inventory value and handling required for the materials supply. The result from the case study is an analysis of how these performance measures can be assessed early in product development projects and how they can be used in the process of materials supply systems design.
