摘要：This paper addresses the question of the lack in the Brazilian market of supplier development projects as a strategy for improving organizational performance. The core of the problem lies in the context of strategic management of the supply chain. To identify procedures for supplier development, case studies were conducted in an electric power distribution company and in a company providing management technologies for supplier development and for supply chain management. A field study was carried out based on visits and interviews with those responsible for supplier relationships. The company, of major multinational standing, is located in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. Based on the field research results and published literature, we have formulated recommended procedures for supplier development. Finally, the authors propose action: Development within the organizations of the necessary professional skills for supply chain management, establishment of cooperative relations between research canters and the organizations, and expansion of academic research in the strategic management area of the supply chain, with emphasis on supplier development.
