Collaboration is essential for successful new product development. In the preparation for
ramp-up production collaboration between R&D and supply chain functions is crucial. This
thesis examines the meaning of collaboration and the effects of collaboration between R&D
and supply chain.
The aim of this thesis is to analyse and advice on how to improve the collaboration between
the research and development department and supply chain within the preparation for rampup
process.
This thesis begins by introducing the reader to the product development methodologies and
collaboration literature. The following part of the thesis describes the current situation and the
results of the qualitative research.
The last part of the thesis will explain the improvement suggestions. The main improvement
suggestions are clarification of the processes and responsibilities and the introduction of a
kick-off meeting.
