Collaborating suppliers provide new technology to firms and are important inNPD. Suppliers for firm provide new technology and resources, and collaboration topromote a new product development project so that both gain. At the same time toselect the most appropriate technology for product development, they must select alsothe most appropriate supplier for the NPD projects.The purpose of this thesis is to analysis the supplier of choice involved insupplier collaboration involved in new product development mode, development mode,management mode, do the appropriate analysis has been the basis for decision making.By summing up the new product development process, the design of the processmodel of supplier selection, the choice to participate in the supply and cooperationprocesses established to integrate the assessment phase of the process from thepre-assessment stage, select the assessment phase to each process finishing thedefinitions and parameters need to refer to the evaluation criteria.Based on the characteristics of the various stages of the development of newproducts, and to establish supplier evaluation methods for collaborative productdevelopment process, the establishment of each stage of the evaluation system. Thecontent and supplier selection model in fact will be a problem in two latitude toexamine common for suppliers collaborative product development project, to ensurethat the right supplier to establish a good relationship.NPD project management activities of the suppliers involved in the proposedthree-tier management model, upcoming divided into core strategic level, operationalmanagement and task management. Management activities and build a process model.Knowledge accumulation function analysis and rework function suppliers toparticipate in the NPD project timing model, the choice and timing of the theoreticalbasis to judge.Put the research into practice, a case study was delivered, which is based oncooperating film A’s NPD project. In the supplier collaboration process, do a simpleanalysis of the development and the timing of the important parts of the thermostatsystem selection.Finally, this thesis concludes drawn, regardless of how to select the suppliers to participate in new product development mode, supplier collaboration NPD process,enterprise key is in how standard for supplier selection, to establish suppliercollaboration NPD evaluation system and supplier collaboration process to establish agood relationship of cooperation with suppliers, to promote collaborative enterprisesinvolved in the development of new products to derive greater benefits.
