Abstract [en]

The purpose is to develop a structured new product development (NPD) process portfolio for manufacturing companies that facilitates the organization of NPD processes for both standardized products, focusing on time-to-market, and customized products, focusing on time-to-customer. The research combines different literature streams, enriching and advancing the understanding of decoupling thinking in NPD processes of manufacturing companies. It includes extensive empirical data from six manufacturing companies and presents testable propositions for further research. The resulting NPD process portfolio separates technology development from product development, acknowledges the different drivers and outcomes of processes and addresses the lead-time trade-offs. It provides an overview of potential options for NPD processes and shows different pathways through the processes. Companies can use the portfolio to support decisions related to the overall configuration of their NPD portfolios, the role and the range of different NPD processes, as well as to determine when and how to engage customers.

Abstract [en]

In environments where customer requirements are constantly changing, such as for demand-driven manufacturing companies, the competition involves the ability to act and adapt to customer needs, sometimes even based on commitment from actual customer orders. In this context it is perhaps even more challenging to balance supply and demand. Several strategies proposed in the literature aid in this balancing act and are in this dissertation labelled demand-driven supply chain operations management strategies(DDSCOMSs). The research purpose is then to explore how demand-driven manufacturing companies can combine DDSCOMSs for effectiveness, focusing on five DDSCOMSs: segmentation, leagility, customization, transparency and postponement.

Based on an interactive approach, the research combines analytical conceptual research and empirical case studies. The data are mainly collected from literature reviews, interviews, workshops, observations and archival documents.

The research operationalizes the concept of demand driven using decoupling thinking, before identifying and describing relations between decoupling thinking and the five DDSCOMSs. The results are summarized in a process for aligning supply chains with the characteristics of the products and the market demand. This process can be used by supply chain operations managers to understand the relations between the DDSCOMSs and howthey can be combined.

Furthermore, the relations between the financial performance measure – return on investment – and the five DDSCOMSs are established through decoupling thinking and summarized in a framework for how the DDSCOMSs can be combined for effectiveness. This framework, as well as the empirical data on which it is developed, equips supply chain operations managers with the knowledge and the ability to analyze the financial implications of a potential change in the supply chain design.

The research contributes to literature and practice by both summarizing existing and establishing new relations between some commonly used DDSCOMSs, as well as their relations to financial performance. The approach to developing the DDSCOMS framework for effectiveness also allows future research to expand on the framework by including additional DDSCOMSs, constructs of decoupling thinking and/or financial performance measures. Finally, in using constructs of decoupling thinking to establish the relations between the five DDSCOMSs and their implications for financial performance, the research also contributes towards establishing decoupling thinking as atheory.

Abstract [sv]

I miljöer där kundkraven ständigt förändras, så som för efterfrågedrivna tillverkande företag, är det viktigt att kunna agera på och anpassa efter kunders behov, ibland till och med baserat på faktiska kundorder. I en efterfrågedriven kontext är det därför mer problematiskt, och kanske än viktigare, att balansera tillgång och efterfrågan. I denna avhandling beskrivs fem strategier som kan bistå i detta balanseringsarbete, vilka benämns demand-driven supply chain operations management strategies och förkortas DDSCOMSs (på svenska ungefär strategier för ledning och styrning av efterfrågedrivna försörjningskedjor). Syftet med avhandlingen är att undersöka hur efterfrågedrivna tillverkande företag kan kombinera DDSCOMSs för yttre effektivitet, med fokus på de fem DDSCOMSs: segmentering, leagility, kundanpassning, flödestransparens och senareläggning.

Forskningen är baserad på ett interaktivt tillvägagångssätt och består av en kombination av analytisk konceptuell forskning och empiriska fallstudier. Data har huvudsakligen samlats in via litteraturstudier, intervjuer, workshops, observationer och dokumentstudier.

I avhandlingen operationaliseras konceptet ”efterfrågedriven” med hjälp av frikopplingstänkandet, för att därefter identifiera och beskriva relationer mellan byggstenar inom frikopplingstänkandet och de fem DDSCOMSs. De identifierade relationerna utmynnar i en process för att anpassa försörjningskedjor till produktegenskaper och efterfrågan. Processen kan stödja yrkesverksamma inom logistikverksamhet att planera och styra försörjningskedjor genom att öka deras förståelsen för relationerna mellan olika DDSCOMSs och hur dessa kan kombineras.

Avhandlingen presenterar även relationer mellan de fem DDSCOMSs och mätetalet ”avkastning på investerat kapital” (engelskans return on investment). Dessa resultat utmynnar i ett ramverk för hur DDSCOMSs kan kombineras för ökad yttre effektivitet. Ramverket, inklusive den empiriska data som ramverket är baserat på, bidrar med kunskap som behövs inom en logistikverksamhet för att analysera potentiella logistiklösningars påverkan på finansiell prestation.

Forskningen bidrar till litteraturen och praktiken genom att både summera befintliga och etablera nya relationer mellan vanligt förekommande DDSCOMSs och deras påverkan på finansiell prestation. DDSCOMSs-ramverket för yttre effektivitet är utformat för att underlätta för framtida forskning att utvidga ramverket och inkludera ytterligare DDSCOMSs, byggstenar inom frikopplingstänkandet och/eller finansiella mätetal. Slutligen, genom användandet av frikopplingstänkandet för att skapa relationer mellan de fem DDSCOMSs och deras påverkan på finansiell prestation bidrar forskningen även till etableringen av frikopplingstänkandet som en frikopplingsteori.
