Abstract
The composite materials industry is rapidly growing and is becoming increasingly complex, involving companies producing raw materials, semi-finished materials, components, structures and OEMs. Furthermore, several industrial sectors are involved within the composites supply chain as aerospace, automotive, construction, marine, renewables among others. In academic/scientific literature, the analysis of the composite materials supply chain is scarce and only industrial reports are available. In such a scenario, there is a need to investigate the composite materials sector in order to better understand the supply chain behaviour and allow companies to make better decisions for the future. This paper introduces a conceptual framework for research-ers to analyse the composite materials supply chain based on product characteristics, agile and lean practices, green practices and firm performance.
