Abstract

The shipbuilding industry is characterized overall by make-to-order production, based on the mobilization of many suppliers for one final product’s construction. Moreover, this industry presents a global nature, because its strategic position is defined by its global position (Cho & Porter, 1986). The shipbuilding industry faces a new wave of competition, due to demand from countries for their own national fleets, the increasing growth of exports and, as a consequence, the use of naval transport as added value to foreign commerce. In this preliminary investigation, we seek to find out if local conditions favor the retaking of this industry within a country, which in turn raises another question: how should the local suppliers become interconnected so that the shipbuilding industry can become competitive globally? This study identifies types of relationship and practices adopted by the shipbuilding industry in Brazil, in order to contribute to supply network structuring based on key-suppliers’ capabilities and cooperation between players.
