Importance of dual sourcing and supply chain impact in new product design and current product development

Rasu, Sakthivel (2025) Importance of dual sourcing and supply chain impact in new product design and current product development. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 26 (3). pp. 2689-2694. ISSN 2581-9615

The initial dual sourcing in automotive industries may have less expertise during initial RFQ (Request for quotation) and hard tooling (production tooling). Many industries have made it clear in single sourcing for their new product development. This article aims to develop guidance on dual-sourcing and its importance and explain why we need to use dual-sourcing during the introduction of new products. However, none of the case studies carried out thus consider Dual sourcing before the pandemic and other countries' bands. This study sets a path to establish dua-sourcing in new and current products, which helps the continuous supply chain in production and aftermarket. In another way, the proposed process study significantly impacts the achievement of a constant supply chain to manufacturing and service facilities without any parts deal. Also, this study helps minimize the part's cost when it dual sourcing. It makes obtaining impactable results in product budget and supplier risk possible. Furthermore, this process control will impact the further parts delay and additional cost savings.
