The purpose of this research is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the supply chain design (SCD) activities that an OEM can perform when developing new products. This purpose is realized by systematically examining peer-reviewed journal articles written in English. The search strategy adopted in this research is based on selected databases and keywords. Cross- referencing is used to identify additional relevant articles. This resulted in a synthesis sample of 93 relevant articles. From this synthesis sample, a set of SCD activities that can be performed by OEMs during product development projects are extracted. These activities are discussed by using a subset articles (47) from the synthesis sample.
