I am conducting research on supply chain dynamics and require access to a comprehensive dataset that includes transaction records between suppliers, OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and other relevant entities. This dataset would ideally encompass various aspects of the supply chain, such as supplier-to-OEM transactions, supplier-to-supplier interactions, OEM-to-supplier relationships, and any additional pertinent information.

Could you please provide information on the following:

  • What are the different methods or sources through which I can obtain a supply chain dataset containing transactional records between suppliers, OEMs, and related parties?
  • Are there publicly available datasets that include this kind of supply chain data, and if so, where can I access them?
  • If such data is not publicly available, are there organizations, research institutions, or data providers known for offering access to comprehensive supply chain datasets for research purposes, and how can I potentially reach out to them or acquire access?
  • What types of information and variables should I be looking for within the dataset to ensure it meets my research needs? This might include details on product shipments, quantities, dates, geographical locations, and any other relevant metadata.
  • Are there any legal or ethical considerations I should be aware of when obtaining and using supply chain data, particularly if it involves proprietary information or sensitive business transactions?
  • Your insights and guidance on these matters would be greatly appreciated as I seek to enhance my research in the field of supply chain management. Thank you for your assistance.
