The third hypothesis associated to the study has been furtherseen to be associated to the effect of supplier integration on the quality of the design. The fourthhypothesis is associated to the integration effect of the supply chain on the conformance and thecustomer who has been seen with proving whether there is any relation with conformancequality.
