Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to describe the product development process (PDP) of companies in the textile industry, seeking to understand the dynamics of their management from different actors along the production chain.

Design/methodology/approach

Qualitative empirical research adopted a multiple case studies design in five large Brazilian organizations, each representing a link in the production chain.

Findings

Textile PDP follows structured steps. However, it is still an informal process. The use of methodologies and tools for decision-making and control gates throughout the process is limited. Performance indicators do not cover all dimensions of the PDP since sales and profit are the main parameters for assessing projects. The predevelopment macro phase varies according to the product type and the company's business model, whereas the postdevelopment macro phase is nonexistent. PDP projects are executed through collective efforts of multiple departments in cross-functional teams, except for the commodities firms.

Practical implications

The study allows managers of Brazilian textile companies to understand the best practices in the PDP and those that require more attention, taking into account different business models and sectors of the production chain.

Originality/value

Our results contribute to the literature and practitioners by providing an overview of PDP management in the textile industry, covering its different production chain actors, types of projects and companies' characteristics.

如何管理纺织产品开发流程？探索生产链中不同企业的多个层面和最佳做法

目的本文旨在描述纺织业公司的产品开发流程（PDP），试图从生产链上的不同参与者了解其管理动态。然而，这仍然是一个非正式的过程。在整个过程中，用于决策和控制的方法和工具有限。由于销售额和利润是评估项目的主要参数，因此绩效指标并未涵盖项目发展计划的所有方面。开发前宏观阶段因产品类型和公司业务模式而异，而开发后宏观阶段则不存在。除商品公司外，PDP 项目都是通过跨职能团队中多个部门的集体努力来执行的。原创性/价值我们的研究结果为文献和从业人员提供了纺织业 PDP 管理概览，涵盖了不同的生产链参与者、项目类型和公司特点。

Business Process Management Journal (BPMJ) examines how a variety of business processes intrinsic to organizational efficiency and effectiveness are integrated and managed for competitive success. BPMJ builds a deep appreciation of how to manage business processes effectively by disseminating best practice. Coverage includes: BPM in eBusiness, eCommerce and eGovernment Web-based enterprise application integration eBPM, ERP, CRM, ASP & SCM Knowledge management and learning organization Methodologies, techniques and tools of business process modeling, analysis and design Techniques of moving from one-shot business process re-engineering to continuous improvement Best practices in BPM Performance management Tools and techniques of change management BPM case studies.
