Abstract
The product development process has the following phases: concept, research, analysis, development and launch. At the same time, the supply chain management needs integrations with suppliers, manufacturers and customers. When a company develops a product, it is necessary to link the product development process to the supply chain management and think about how it can become greener. The aim of this article is to identify the main bibliography references about the product development, oriented towards the green supply chain management. For the literature review, efforts have been made to search the concepts of product development process, supply chain management, green supply chain management, sustainable supply chain management and triple bottom line.
Methodology: For this bibliography, some articles were selected from the Periodical Portal available through Capes/MEC, using an advanced search.
The result: The topic of product development oriented to the green supply chain management is still lacking consensus, being treated with a broad approach, and a model that orients the companies to develop a product aimed at the green supply chain management was not found yet.
