Desenvolvimento de um método de apoio ao desenvolvimento de projetos aplicados em um setor de ferramentaria

Abstract

The concepts involved in project management, as well as the Product Development Process (PDP), and the harmonious use of both within companies, as a way of conducting projects, has generated benefits such as time optimization, cost reduction and higher quality in the proposed deliveries. Aiming to provide such benefits to a company that designs and implements technology and automation, to meet internal process solutions in a metalworking group in the Serra Gaúcha Region, this work proposes the study and application of these concepts, their adaptation to the company scenario, the proposition of a method of design development and construction of robotic cells, tools and devices. The proposal of this method to support the development of projects was based on the identification of the steps, functions, tools and opportunities for improvement that already exist in the company where this work was carried out, combining such information with the benchmarking process in companies from similar segments in the region, seeking to propose a method adapted to the scenario of the study company and its particularities. The proposed method of supporting the development of projects proposed, consists of changing the flow of steps and conducting projects, creating documents, events and definitions of phases, which will be controlled through an agile project management model. Finally, with the creation of this method applied to the reality and routine of the company, it will be validated in a pilot project for the observation, in a qualitative way, of gains or losses in relation to what is currently used.
