environment is limited. In addition, the supply chain management (SCM) aspects of these relationships have not been studied.
This paper presents research conducted at the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) investigating the applicability of CPD and
SCM in an R&D organization. The study concentrates on the management and implementation of space research activities at
GRC. Results indicate that although the organization is engaged in collaborative relationships that incorporate aspects of SCM,
a number of areas, such as development of trust and information sharing merit special attention.

Research and development (R&D) organizations are being required to be relevant, to be more application-oriented, and
to be partners in the strategic management of the business while meeting the same challenges as the rest of the organization,
namely: (1) reduced time to market; (2) reduced cost; (3) improved quality; (4) increased reliability; and (5) increased focus
on customer needs. Recent advances in computer technology and the Internet have created a new paradigm of collaborative
engineering or collaborative product development (CPD), from which new types of relationships among researchers and their
partners have emerged. Research into the applicability and benefits of CPD in a low/no production, R&D, and/or government
environment is limited. In addition, the supply chain management (SCM) aspects of these relationships have not been studied.
This paper presents research conducted at the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) investigating the applicability of CPD and
SCM in an R&D organization. The study concentrates on the management and implementation of space research activities at
GRC. Results indicate that although the organization is engaged in collaborative relationships that incorporate aspects of SCM,
a number of areas, such as development of trust and information sharing merit special attention.
