The emergence of innovative products impacts the ecosystem of the company and more precisely its supply chain. Therefore, anticipating the reorganization of the latter is an important challenge for many innovative companies to ensure the success of their product. From a systematic review of the literature and case studies, this article highlights the descriptive elements of a supply chain. A methodology is developed leading to a representation model for any supply chain. This model is confronted with several case studies to verify its pertinence before being confronted in real time with a case study. The model will be implemented and validated according to the results of this study. Subsequently, a methodology will be developed to help innovative companies anticipate the reorganization of the supply chain supporting their innovation.
