Abstract: Research and development (R&D) supply chains are oftentimes designed without the process discipline and rigor that typically characterize the development of products emerging from R&D programs. As such, this text attempts to fill a gap experienced by everyday supply chain practitioners involved in research and new product development, who are migrating their products to full commercialization, as well as to help decision makers looking to improve the overall effectiveness and efficiency of their supply chain. When new products are developed, a significant divide typically emerges when trying to commercialize the product while attempting to meet project demands for cost, schedule, and quality. Simply put, in many cases the supply chains developed to accomplish R&D functions are usually woefully inadequate to meet the demands of large-scale commercial applications. This book recounts the real-world work efforts, rigor, and discipline used to transition from a supply chain supporting R&D functions to a world-class supply chain capable of supporting a multibillion-dollar hydrocarbon recovery project.
