Abstract

Developing technological capabilities is a necessary condition for increasing competitiveness. To this end, improvement and innovation projects are implemented in supply chains, which are strategic in today's highly competitive markets. Therefore, it is essential that these projects succeed. However, the literature and industrial practice offer a wide variety of alternative projects, making it difficult to determine the most suitable one. The objective of this work is to design and evaluate the content validity of an instrument to measure the contribution of project factors and thus identify the critical factors. The factors identified through a literature review are the dynamism of the environment, knowledge orientation, quality orientation, process management, and collaboration. These factors are used to construct the measurement instrument, whose content validity is evaluated by the judgment of ten experts. These judgments are analyzed using Lynn's Content Validity Index (I-ICV, S-CVI/ave). The results show that the measurement instrument has content validity with a significance level of 5%. The measurement instrument is a useful tool for obtaining the information needed to build models that explain the relationship between the success factors of technological innovation projects in supply chains.
