Supplier Development - Supply Chain Industrial Engineering
Industrial engineering expertise and experience of a company must be offered to suppliers as part of supplier development.
Thomas Stallkamp was father of the Extended Enterprise approach to supply management. In fact, the term Extended Enterprise became so important to Chrysler that in 1999 leadership obtained a trademark for it, as follows:
Extended Enterprise: Extending business relationships by providing process management consultations and workshops to … suppliers and supplier tiers in order to reduce cycle time, minimize system cost and improve the quality of the goods or services provided by the suppliers.
It is in an OEM’s best financial interests to provide its strategic suppliers with the same level of improvement support they would receive if they were internal factory departments.OEMs need to collaborate with and assist suppliers —as needed—in their strategic continuous improvement efforts.
Oshkosh Corp. presented on the positive financial impacts of their Extended Enterprise efforts at last November’s (2021) IndustryWeek conference in Cleveland. The results were impressive both in piece-price and “true” lead-time reduction. Oshkosh dedicated half-dozen manufacturing engineers as well as over 100 other employees.

SD i.e. assisting the supplier in improving the performance of services and products or enhancing the supplier’s capabilities. There is strong evidence that organisations today are increasingly implementing SD programs to improve supplier performance and remain competitive (Modi and Mabert, [7]), and thus this is an important topic of research. The aims of SD are generally twofold from the customer’s perspective: firstly, to reduce cost, improve quality, and improve delivery; and, secondly, to educate suppliers in a systematic process to keep driving continuous improvement. Building on previous definitions of SD offered by Krause and Ellram [8] and discussed by Krause et al. [9], this paper defines SD as: “Any effort of a buying firm working with its supplier(s) to increase the performance and/or capabilities of the supplier and meet the buying firm's short- and/or long-term supply needs. Moreover, promotes on-going improvements that are intended to benefit both buyer and supplier(s)”
Areas of Research
Supplier Development Activities, Success Factors, Barriers and Pitfalls
Direct (Transaction-specific) & Indirect (Infrastructure factors) Supplier Development
Direct SD is defined as “Provision of equipment or capital, on-site
consultation, education and training programs, temporary personnel transfer, inviting supplier’s personnel, taken as a whole
the transfer of knowledge and qualifications to the supplier organisations”.
Indirect SD as “the buying firm
commits no or only limited resources to a specific supplier. There is no active involvement of the buying firm in the supplier’s
operations, and know-how transferred from the buying firm does not occur.”

Plenty of books about supplier development and application of lean principles in supplier management are available for students, supply chain managers and strategic purchasers. Some of them are excellent and provide complete guide through the complicated and difficult process. Truth is that all of the best books are priced very high and it is not better for the remaining available books written on this topic.

IN BRIEF
Many companies have achieved impressive improvements in quality, delivery, and costs using results-oriented supplier development. With this approach, a team led by purchasing professionals makes technical changes such as simplifying work flows, standardizing work processes, and reducing set-up times in a supplier's operations. However, after such supplier development efforts, suppliers often return to “business as usual,” failing to make further improvements on their own. This article first describes the benefits and shortcomings of results-oriented supplier development. Next, building upon successful cases of supplier development and research in change management, this article describes process-oriented supplier development practices which are more effective in building a supplier's capability for improvement. Finally, this article discusses the commitment of resources necessary for this approach to supplier development.
