โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

Three complete supply networks have been mapped in this study. These supply networks pertain to the center console assembly and come from three different product linesโ€”Honda Accord, Acura CL/TL, and DaimlerChrysler (DCX) Grand Cherokee. Based on these three cases of supply networks, propositions are built concerning how the structure of supply networks operates. Based on the extant literature, we frame structure in three dimensionsโ€”formalization, centralization, and complexity. As an underlying methodology, we first conduct the withinโ€case analysis and then expand the analysis to crossโ€case context. The three structural dimensions affect one another progressively, and the cost consideration appears to be the overarching force that shapes the supplyโ€network structure.
