Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Local manufacturing suppliers are critical to a country’s economy and to ensure sustainability. In order to address all key areas for developing a local manufacturing supplier (LMS) from the informal- to the formal economy a strategic approach is required. A systematic literature study was conducted to establish the theoretical foundation. The conceptual roadmap was validated using case studies and the key elements, sequence of development phases, types of development projects and the role each stakeholder plays along the development of local suppliers were evaluated. This holistic roadmap for developing a LMS, as a strategic decision support tool can assist the end user to make informed decisions of the current maturity level and to determine the most appropriate LMS to develop. The roadmap further establishes a clear prioritised action plan relative to its maturity phase.
