In the publication of my article, some key words were removed from the Abstract, which ends up hindering its understanding. In the eProofing document these words appear, but in the published version they are suppressed. As per journal style abstract contents are displayed as paragraph hence sub headings were removed.


Below is a copy of the Abstract with the keywords included. This change was made respecting the journal style and keeping the abstract contents displayed as a paragraph. I reinforce that the objective is not to modify the Abstract, but just to insert the keywords so that the reading makes sense to the reader.


Abstract

The purpose of this research is to present an adaptive and integrated reference model for the Supplier Selection Process (SSP) to integrate it into the Product Development Process (PDP) or the serialized component supply. The research methodology adopted a broad literature review on indexed databases and a logical deductive analysis of the identified constructs and factors. The two main results obtained were: compilation and categorization (moderating factors, connecting factors) of critical SSP success factors; and proposal of a reference model so that the SSP can serve the PDP and the serialized component supply. Regarding originality we can mention: (a) this reference model covers all the critical SSP success factors; (b) it makes a clear distinction between moderating and connecting factors (c) while addressing both the PDP and the serialized component supply. The considerable number of factors identified in this research suggests that the vast majority of models proposed in the literature are based on an incomplete set of variables, restricting the conceptual view of the SSP. Finally, the results contribute to reducing the risk of the SSP not adding value to the Original Equipment Manufacturers’ (OEMs) strategic purpose or causing losses. Additionally, the proposed model can be adapted according to the company’s business strategy.

Original Abstract

To present an adaptive and integrated reference model for the Supplier Selection Process (SSP) to integrate it into the Product Development Process (PDP) or the serialized component supply. The research methodology adopted a broad literature review on indexed databases and a logical deductive analysis of the identified constructs and factors. Compilation and categorization (moderating factors, connecting factors) of critical SSP success factors; proposal of a reference model so that the SSP can serve the PDP and the serialized component supply. (a) This reference model covers all the critical SSP success factors; (b) it makes a clear distinction between moderating and connecting factors (c) while addressing both the PDP and the serialized component supply. The considerable number of factors identified in this research suggests that the vast majority of models proposed in the literature are based on an incomplete set of variables, restricting the conceptual view of the SSP. The results contribute to reducing the risk of the SSP not adding value to the Original Equipment Manufacturers’ (OEMs) strategic purpose or causing losses. Additionally, the proposed model can be adapted according to the company’s business strategy.
