Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to identify elements of supplier development in the manufacturing industry and to represent them thematically; find out the framework among those elements; and find out the driving and dependence powers of elements to improve supplier development. Elements and sub-elements were searched from different sources from the year 1998 to 2021 (24 years). Similar sub-elements or elements were clubbed together and 15 such clubs of sub-element were arrived at. Suitable terms were used for such 15 clubs as 15 elements. Online meetings/interactions were held to formulate the model of the relationship structure of elements of supplier development using interpretive structural modelling (ISM) technique. The major detection of this study is a thematic representation of elements proficient enough in influencing supplier development of the manufacturing supply chain. The relationships among these elements are established in a particular manufacturing business process.

Keywords: supply chain management; supplier development; manufacturing industries; interpretive structural modelling; ISM.
