Projeto de melhoria de produto: análise para redução de custo na fabricação de rebocador de implementos agrícolas

Abstract

For being responsible for the initial step in the manufacturing process of any product, the product development process can anticipate solutions to market problems that may directly impact the manufacturing phase. Thus, the Product Engineering department can and should manage costs and keep them as low as possible to achieve competitive conditions for the organization. In this context, this work aims to develop a product modification project to reduce the manufacturing costs of the Platform Transport Trailer, targeting the Product Engineering sector of a company that produces agricultural implements, located in Southwest Paraná. The methodology was based on bibliographic research, focusing on modifying the design of an already established product in the market. In line with the company's interests, this work seeks to achieve a 10% reduction in the manufacturing costs of this product.
