“…As innovation cycles in the automotive sector shortened in the 1990s, the specialisation of suppliers on specific product categories has strengthened the performance of car production networks as cars became increasingly complex products (Dyer, 1996). These trends have continued (Ili et al, 2010;Xie and Miyazaki, 2014). They pose challenges to the sourcing and procurement departments of automotive companies in seeking to keep up with innovation trends in the industry, in understanding their impact on future product sourcing categories, and on future product sourcing strategies.…”

“…The auto industry is arguably the most studied sector in the supply chain management literature. Technological change taking place in the sector with new vehicle technologies, new materials, vastly increased use of software in vehicles (Xie and Miyazaki, 2014), new centres of production and changing markets (Sturgeon et al, 2009) will have significant effects, requiring new supply strategies and potentially new supply network configurations. In particular, alternatively powered vehicle technologies (APT) are likely to affect automotive supply networks significantly.…”

Purpose Supply chains evolve and change in size, shape and configuration, and in how they are coordinated, controlled and managed. Some supply chains are mature and relatively unchanging. Some are subject to significant change. New supply chains may emerge and evolve for a variety of reasons. The purpose of this paper is to examine the nature of supply chain evolution and address the question “What makes a supply chain like it is?” Design/methodology/approach The paper analyses and develops key aspects, concepts and principal themes concerning the emergence and evolution of supply chains over their lifecycle. Findings The paper defines the supply chain lifecycle and identifies six factors that interact and may affect a supply chain over its lifecycle – technology and innovation, economics, markets and competition, policy and regulation, procurement and sourcing, supply chain strategies and re-engineering. A number of emergent themes and propositions on factors affecting a supply chain’s characteristics over its lifecycle are presented. The paper argues that a new science is needed to investigate and understand the supply chain lifecycle. Practical implications Supply chains are critical for the world economy and essential for modern life. Understanding the supply chain lifecycle and how supply chains evolve provides new perspectives for contemporary supply chain design and management. Originality/value The paper presents detailed analysis, critique and reflections from leading researchers on emerging, evolving and mature supply chains.
