Assessing supplier performances under partnership in project-type procurement
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of a commercial partnership in a project-type supply chain. The research focuses on the performance of suppliers who develop a partnering mechanism for procurement of complex manufacturing projects. In total, four supply chain metrics are evaluated: project scope change, ratio of actual-to-estimated project costs, gross profit margin, and delay in deliverable shipments. Hypotheses are formulated to contrast partnerships and arms-length relationships for industrial procurement. Statistical results support the conclusion that supplier performances improve under partnership.
