Abstract
Supply chain management (SCM) is an integrative approach to managing the total flow of the industry from the supplier to the customer. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of the existing models in SCM for long lifecycle products. The paper first defines SCM based on the literature and then summarizes SCM methods in practice for products with longer product design cycles, including the aerospace, shipbuilding, and automobile industries. Further, the reviewed literature is categorized under seven different methods for SCM: the traditional approach, fuzzy approach, closed loop supply chain, economic impact, supplier risk, green approach, and sustainability approach. Based on the seven approaches for SCM, this paper highlights the main factors that were considered and compared between the aerospace, shipbuilding, and automobile industries.
