Análise e identificação de perdas à luz do pensamento enxuto na gestão do projeto do produto

Abstract

Starting from the idea that the product design activities may be interpreted as a production system, once it is built, through the production function mechanism point of view, by processes and operations that handle the input information turning it into output technical purposes (technical product proposals), this research aims to analyze this environment through the development of a conceptual model based on Toyota Production System and Lean Thinking theory eight classical types of wastes. The Rozenfeld et al.theoretical product development model was chosen to be the waste analysis object and from this model ten product development management phases were selected. The proposal of results is to identify a set of wastes that can be found, in each product development phase, focusing on the mechanical engineering design environment, proceeding with a final exploratory research with engineers, engineering managers and specialists involved with this subject to collect and validate the results.
