Figures and constructs matrix table from which PEP-I framework emerged

Figures and constructs matrix table from which PEP-I framework emerged as reported in the paper "Antecedents of recalls prevention: analysis and synthesis of research on product recalls" published in the Supply Chain Forum: An International Journal. doi.org/10.1080/16258312.2018.1530575 (2018-10-23). 76 articles were examined using a summative approach to qualitative content analysis to extract, estimate and compare the meaning of emerging constructs.

The final constructs led to the synthesis of a framework for supply chain quality management with four layers of antecedents identified as PEP-I (Product, Equipment, Process, and Intervention) to help prevent the production of defective products.
